This week's topic is about 2014 releases I meant to read but wasn't able to last year. In resolution to that, here are the top 10 2014 books I am going to read this year. So without further ado, let's get to it!
1. City of Heavenly Fire is literally glaring at me from my shelves. I am 200 pages in and then decided to hold it off for a moment. That's the keyword: moment. I never thought that that moment will take almost a year.
2. Heir of Fire is that book everyone wants me to read. "Hey any book recommendation?" "Heir of Fire" and then repeat the process 100 times. After the ending of CoM, my mind is still reeling. I need to get my hands on this one this year. Must. Must. Must.
3. I read the heart-rending prologue of In the After Light but that was it. I needed the physical book. It feels weird reading it in e-book when I've been dying to know how will Liam and Ruby's story will end.
4. My sister's friend borrowed my copy of To All the Boys I've Loved Before and hasn't returned it yet for like months now. But I badly want to read this. Heard nothing but good things.
5. My goodreads feed had been "Since You've Been Gone" - ified when this book was release / even earlier. I love lists. I need to read about all the dares in this book.
6. I am finally reading Bloodlines!!! Holy Shit. I am so excited. I have all the books except Silver Shadows and The Ruby Circle. HASHTAG SYDRIAN
7. Copies of Dreams of Gods and Monsters are so elusive here. I couldn't find one in our local bookstore. Any hopes that they'll release a paperback of this?
8. I just bought The Bane Chronicles yesterday! I am so excited. While skimming it, I noticed the graphic pages. How cool is that? And knowing how glittery and awesome Magnus Bane is, I'll definitely enjoy this.
9. I have The Archived now and I only need The Unbound. This duology sounds epic and I couldn't wait to read it this year.
10. I confess that I intended to stall reading Opposition. Aside from the sudden cover change, I was just a little meh with Armentrout books lately. I am not avoiding them, but I get the same formula with all her books. I hope I could read this before my memories of the predecessors got lost in my mind.
Quick Update:

City of Heavenly Fire was soooo good! Hope you get a chance to get to it soon!
ReplyDeleteCheck out my Top 10
I am sure to pick it again before the year ends! <3
DeleteGreat list! I can't believe I forgot to put Dreams of Gods & Monsters on my list: it's definitely a must-read for 2015 now. Here's my TTT. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHehe. SO excited to read it too! <3
DeleteHeir of fire is indeed a mustmustmustmust. The series gets better with each installment, it's almost unbelievable. Happy reading :D
ReplyDeleteThis makes me more excited to read it! SQUEEE I will read it soon!
DeleteSuch a great list, three books on here already that I will strongly encourage you to read and the are To All The Boys, Since You've Been Gone and Dreams of Gods and Monsters. I don't care if you have to maim someone to get copies (although I wouldn't recommend it, ordering at a bookshop might be a bit more sensible) you need to read them, such good reads.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same with Heir of Fire, though, been intending to read for months and just haven't gotten around to it, I feel a bit embarrassed. I'm a bit wary about starting The Archived, people say good things, but I hear it's a duology that was intended to be a trilogy and Schwab needs to find a new way to get the third book out and I'm stuck wondering whether I should wait to read.
Great list, some wonderful books on here.
I laughed way too hard than I should! Okay, okay, no maiming but an order to the bookstore :D I already have To All the Boys now. So excited to meet Peter K!! And korean people are my people HAHA. Is that a thing?
DeleteOh really? I haven't heard much of The Archived. I'm going to read it soon so I'm going to figure it out. :D Naaw, I'm intending to read Heir of Fire on the same month its 4th book will be released. Makes sense, I think. :D
Amazing list! Really want to Read Since You've Been Gone and Heir of Fire.
ReplyDeleteHere is my list :-)
Yes we should. Heard nothing but great things about those two :D
DeleteHeir of Fire, City of Heavenly Fire, Silver Shadows, and In The Afterlight are MUST READS. I want to read Since You've Been Gone too. Nice picks! :)
ReplyDeleteYES YES YES AND YES HAHA. Such a shame I haven't read/finished those books.
DeleteBASICALLY ADRIAN IS ALWAYS PERFECT AHH! :D Dibs. Mwhahaha! Silver Shadows was a bit meh for me. Maybe wait until Ruby Circle comes out, because the ending was ANOTHER cliffhanger. Here's my list: https://victoriajaynesbooks.wordpress.com/2015/01/13/top-ten-tuesday-6/
ReplyDeleteOh noooo! Cliffhangers are the bane of my existence. But it's sydrian so why not? But ugh I might stall reading Silver Shadows a week before Ruby Circle comes out. ADRIAN ADRIAN ADRIAN! *sobs* (is it too hopeful to wish for moroi-human babies in RC haha)
DeleteSince You've Been Gone sounds really good; it was another one that I didn't get to last year! I'm still making my way though the Mortal Instruments and the Lux series so maybe I'll finish those this year. Great List and hopefully you get to those this year!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by,
Erica @ Read It. Note It.
I've been so interested with Since You've Been Gone for a while now. Hope to read it soon. Thank you! :D
DeleteAghhhh your entire list was practically me going OMG THAT BOOK IS SO GOOD or OMG ME TOO I NEED TO READ THIS. To All the Boys I've Loved Before and Since You've Been Gone were two of my favourites of 2014! And I really, really need to get to Heir of Fire…which means I really, really need to read Crown of Midnight soon too haha. I just hate to wait on series and Sarah J. Maas's are so dang fantastic it's hard to not tear through them.
ReplyDeleteRead City of Heavenly Fire. Like start with that one.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHA. Okay,okay. :D I will totally pick it up soon! <3
DeleteSO I HAVEN'T READ ANYTHING ELSE ON YOUR LIST besides Dreams of Gods & Monsters so I'm going to tell you to FIND A COPY RIGHT NOW. It should be released soon in paperback form....hopefully. BUT YEAH. I hope you find it somewhere because IT IS GOOD.
ReplyDeleteYES THIS YEAR I WILL! :D
DeleteI also really want to read Since You've Been Gone! To All the Boys I've Loved Before was cute -- I can't wait for the second book!! Silver Shadows was amazing!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by My TTT
YAY TO SS! :D Those contemporary sound fluffy and cute ME WANT!
DeleteHEIR OF FIRE. The feels may kill you.
ReplyDeleteOHMYGOD SYDRIAN. It's so hard not to binge them! I think I read them in about a week. To All the Boys is such an adorable read!
Happy reading! :D
BINGE READING SYDRIAN IS ONE OF THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE. Oh nooo, I'm scared for HoF! I think I need to wait for the 4th book!
DeleteLooks like you have a lot of sequels to get to, Abby! This totally reminds me that i STILL need to read book 2 to DoSaB gah! Buuuuut I think I might just wait until I get my hands on the last book so I can binge it, heh. I loved Since You've Been Gone! It's totally glorious *nods*
ReplyDeleteOMG SO EXCITED FOR SYBG!! SQUEEE I think I'm going to binge read DoSAB series too! :D
DeleteI'm also hoping to read Heir of Fire (and Crown of Midnight) this year. I really enjoyed Throne of Glass and I've heard that the series just gets better!
ReplyDeleteThe Archived looks amazing, too. So many people seem to love that series. I'm curious to see what you'll think of it. Awesome picks :)

ReplyDeleteSO EXCITED FOR HEIR OF FIRE! MAAAAN EVERYONE LOVES IT HOW CAN I NOT????? DoSAB series is so awesome huhu me too! Don't want it to end :(
DeleteI couldn't agree more with your choice of The Bane Chronicles! Cassandra Clare is honestly one of my favorite authors, and when I heard she was doing the bane chronicles I was so excited i preordered the book 4 months in advance! i'm about halfway through it right now and loving it! magnus is a fun character!
ReplyDeletegreat post this week!

Excited for Bane's glitters <333
DeleteI feel completely the same way about Opposition. I love Lux series but I have been struggling with other books by JLA in 2014 so I am deliberately postponing reading of Opposition. I so do not want to be disappointed! Hopefully I will give it a go this year :)
ReplyDeleteI KNOW RIGHT? *high five* They were becoming meh and meh though :( Me too if given a chance this year :D
DeleteYay for To All the Boys I've Loved Before! I adored this one so much. I need to get to The Bane Chronicles as well though. I love Magnus Bane so much!
ReplyDeleteOMG I need fluffy books <3 Yes, yes, Banes is fab! :D
DeleteOMG HEIR OF FIRE! That book is AHHMAZING! Opposition is another great read! Happy reading this year =]
ReplyDeleteTeresa @ Readers Live A Thousand Lives
