Top Ten Tuesday this week is about
❄ Books that I plan to have in my beach bag ❄
(In no particular order)
2. Talon (Talon #1) by Julie
Kagawa
4. Boundless (Unearthly #3) by
Cynthia Hand
5. Evertrue (Everneath #3) by
Brodi Ashton
6. The Burning Sky (The Elemental
Trilogy #1) by Sherry Thomas
9. Cress (Lunar Chronicles #3) by Marissa Meyer
❄❄❄
Now, you may ask, why these books? All of these books have two things in common 1) they are young adult books 2) they are fantasy books. Those are the two main things that I usually look for in a book when trying to relax with it. And what's often associated with relaxing? Beach. So at least for me, these fantasy books would make perfect beach reads. Without even mentioning that they've been on my TBR list for ages (as you can see all of them were published in 2014 or earlier).....
I recently read The Kiss of Deception and really enjoyed it! I heard that everyone tries to guess who the assassin and who the prince is, so I did as well. It's really fun!
ReplyDeleteAnd The Assassin's Curse is great as well. A very cute fantasy -if that is possible. And of course, I adore Cress.
Happy reading! :D
You just made me even more excited about reading the Kiss of Deception! :) I've been meaning to read it forever (I have it on my Kindle), but just never seem to be able to make time for it :/
DeleteThanks for stopping by! :)
A lot of Fantasy looking books here! Hope you get to read them all :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, yes I'm an avid fantasy reader :) Thanks!
DeleteHiya Sofia I'm a new follower :-) Some of these I haven't heard of but I'm still yet to read The Lunar Chronicles they sound awesome! Thank you for sharing these :-) Here's my TTT if you would like to check it out! Have a great day :-)
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for the follow! The Lunar Chronicles is so amazing, it has to be one of my favourite YA series at the moment, I love a good retelling :)
DeleteThere are a lot of nice cover on your picks. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHaha, I actually like many of these books' covers too! Especially Boundless's cover is just superb. :)
DeleteThere are a lot of nice cover on your picks. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you: fantasy novels make for the best beach reads! And as I totally LOVED The Golden Compass, Boundles (ALL THE FEELINGS), The Burning Sky, Finnikin of the Rock and The Kiss of Deception, I think you're in for a treat. And also that you have really good taste in books ;)
ReplyDeleteHaha, I love when people make me even more excited for my TBR list! Thanks to you I'm even more motivated to read these babies here :) Thanks for stopping by Daisy!
DeleteI still have to read The Everneath Series too. I loved Cinder, but have yet to read further into the series. I have Kiss of Deception on my list too. Happy Summer Reading.
ReplyDeleteI see that we have a similar TBR-list then :) I just can't wait get to these, but I have so many books to read before these books from today's list. Thanks for stopping by Suzi :)
DeleteI love your choices! Seraphina is such a good book - beautifully written and such a fresh and interesting idea. I loved it, it's just a shame the sequel doesn't live up to the promise of the first book :( I hope you enjoy relaxing with all of these, there are some great choices!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Oh, what a shame! But that tends to happen with sequels. I'm not 100% sure about this, but wasn't Seraphina meant to be a stand-alone first (or am I just making that up)? If so, it could explain why the second instalment didn't live up to the promise.
DeleteI've been wanting to read The Assassin's Curse for a while now! The Kiss of Deception, Cress, Seraphina, and The Burning Sky are all really good books!
ReplyDeleteThanks for letting me know! :) I'll definitely squeeze them into my summer TBR list!
DeleteI just read Evertrue and it made me really emotional! Hope you love it! Cress is amazing! I hope to read Talon and Seraphina soon!
ReplyDeleteLizzie @ lizziethesarcasticblonde.blogspot.com
Oh no, the first two already made me really emotional so I can only imagine the last instalment will make me feel :D Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI've only read Cress from your list but more are on my TBR list. Anyhow, Cress is a must read if you enjoy the series, I think it's the best book out of the three so far. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I've been hearing too :) I just need to get on with it and not stall any longer!
DeleteCress is soooo good!! Excited for Winter to come out in November!!
ReplyDeleteHaha, that's exactly why I want to read Cress so that I can join in the hype around Winter :)
DeleteI enjoyed Seraphina a lot, though the book is a bit slow in the beginning. And I've had Finnikin of the Rock on my TBR list for ages -- hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteSeraphina sounds like a really great YA fantasy book - I just can't wait to start reading it :)
DeleteWow you are just reading all the series aren't you? (;
ReplyDeleteI'm so curious about how you are going to feel about the end of the Unearthly series. I'm giggling over here. I've been wanting to read it again so badly. I only have the second book for some unknown reason.
Haha, well I'm trying to! You just made me want to read Boundless even more!! I probably need to shift it up on my TBR list now.. :D I just really wish that it has a satisfying ending, the trilogy has been so great so far and I think it really deserves a good ending.
DeleteOooh, what a great list! Talon, The Golden Compass, Boundless and Cress are all amazing! Pullman's 'His Dark Materials' trilogy has been one of my favourites for years. I've also heard really good things about The Kiss of Deception and Seraphina!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :D
Yay, good to know I'm diving into reading some gems then :) Thanks for stopping by Samantha!
DeleteI really need to read The Kiss of Deception! I bought it as soon as it came out, and I don't know why I haven't read it yet! I'm curious about Talon, so I will be interested in your thoughts after you read it. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by the The Local Muse
I've had The Kiss of Deception since last summer too, and I just bought Talon this spring. I think quite many of us bookdragons have a bad habit of buying lots of books than then not having time for them haha. :)
DeleteYou've got some fantastic fantasy picks on here! (Especially Cress! Have you read Fairest yet?) I tend to gravitate more to fantasy in the winter, but summer is perfect if you have time to invest in those epic stories!
ReplyDeleteCristina @ Girl in the Pages
I've always wondered about that in people (as in how they tend to certain read certain genres in specific season), because more of a read-what-you-can-when-you-can kind of type :D I can't really organise my reading at all like you do which is kind of a shame because it would be nice to read something fluffy in the summer, but that's not how my mind works. Okay, stop rambling. Thanks for stopping by Christina! :)
DeleteSo many great fantasy books there! I would never have thought beach and fantasy go together but on my last holiday I devoured The Bone Season and it worked so well! I loved Cress too, so I hope you enjoy that one. Great choices :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :) I kind of love reading fantasy at the beach, I don't know why but there's just something there!
DeleteAwesome list!
ReplyDeleteI really need to read Cress and The Kiss of Deception this summer too! I know I'm going to love them and they've been sitting on my shelf for too long.
Olivia @ Fluttering Pages
Great list! I've only read The Golden Compass so far but I'm hoping to read Talon and the Lunar Chronicles at some point.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting me.
Lauren @ myexpandingbookshelf.blogspot.co.uk
I love your picks! I LOVE Cress and The Burning Sky! I really need to read the rest of them, there are several on your list that I am really looking forward to reading like The Kiss of Deception and Talon. I want to read pretty much all of these though! Great picks!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy reading them this summer!
Thanks for stopping by my TTT Post!
