Tags: Broke and Bookish, Top 10 Anticipated Books, Top Ten Tuesday
This week’s theme over at The Broke and the Bookish is:
‘Top Ten Books I Really Want To Read But Don’t Own Yet:’
I confess, these are primarily books that aren’t yet released – so, in which case, of course I don’t own them but I really do want to read them! In no particular order I give you my Top Ten for this week:
- Sword of the North by Luke Scull (No.2 of the Grim Company)
- The Bastards and the Knives by Scott Lynch
- The Thorn of Emberlain by Scott Lynch (Gentleman Bastard No.4)
- The Slow Regard of Silent Things by Patrick Rothfuss – a novella set in the world of the Kingkiller Chronicle series
- Doors of Stone by Patrick Rothfuss – No.3 of the Kingkiller Chronicles
- The Shadow Throne by Django Wexler (sequel to The Thousand Names)
- The 2nd book in Mark Lawrence’s Red Queen’s War series (started with Prince of Fools) no idea when this is due out but I WANT IT!
- Generation V by M Brennan – this one completely went under the radar must buy a copy and read it soon!
- Shades of Milk and Honey (The Glamourist series) by Mary Robinette Kowal. I just really like this look of this one and have for some time but haven’t actually bought any yet!
- Maplecroft by Cherie Priest – gothic horror.
Oh my – such a lot to look forward to!
Books and travelling with Lynn 
Gothic Horror you say? There’s another one I must check out!
Yes – based around Lizzie Borden apparently!
Lynn 😀
I agree with this whole list. Except the few I have read, which I need sequels to.
Yeah, you’ve already read the next Wexler (and others!) – I need to get on that one though!!
Lynn 😀
Gothic Horror? That could be MY precioussss….Goodreads tells me this is the first book in a series, but it does sound very interesting.
Yeah, I really fancy it – I love the gothic horror description although sometimes they don’t quite live up to the promise!
Lynn 😀
So many series with bromance overload, presumably, at least aha.
Cheers, joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts
I never really thought about that tbh. Yeah, I suppose the Locke books have a bit of a bromance going on for sure. I love those books!!
Lynn 😀
Haha, if there’s a book I really want to read but don’t have it…chances are it’s because it’s not published yet 😛 And what! Get thee out to the bookstore now and pick up a copy of Generation V! 😀
Yes, I’ve ordered a copy of Generation V – I was intrigued after reading your review and I’m looking forward to that one.
Lynn 😀
YES Shades of Milk and Honey! I just read Mary Robinette Kowal’s novelette The Lady Astronaut of Mars and it was sooooo freaking good. Can’t wait to see what she can do with a full length novel, especially one that’s a fantasy of manners. They’re always so witty and fun!
I know – I’ve wanted to read these for ages so don’t really know what my problem is – I just need to make more time!! Lady Astronaut of Mars sounds excellent – must have a look at that – it can’t hurt to have just ONE more book can it!
Lynn 😀
I’m really looking forward to reading more about the Gentlemen Bastards, too. Those books seem like they’re taking forever…
We’re just too impatient for the good things in life!!
Lynn 😀
Oooh I have the first Patrick Rothfuss book, must get back to it 🙂 So much to read, so little time…
Indeed – we need a time turner!! Somebody hurry up and invent one already – we have the name and the idea for goodness sake!
Lynn 😀
I can’t even tell you how much I would like a time turner!!! 😀
Awesome list! I actually got an ARC of Maplecroft at Comic Con which I intend to read very soon. Also, YES to all things Patrick Rothfuss!!
You have to love Patrick Rothfuss – the Maplecroft looks deliciously creepy – can’t wait to get my grubby mitts on that one!
Lynn 😀
All my “desperately want to read but don’t own” books are still unpublished too! Especially Fairyland #4 from Catherynne Valente, which won’t be out until March, 2015. Sigh…
Ah, so that means I have time to catch up then!!
Lynn 😀
