This week for Top Ten Tuesday the ladies at The Broke and the Bookish have asked us to think about the 2015 releases we really hoped/planned/had the best intentions to get to last year, but didn't. At the expense of my humongous queue of backlist books, it turns out I actually did read quite a lot of new books in 2015 so creating this list wasn't as easy as I assumed it would be.
But, not surprisingly, I did manage to come up with 10 books that I really wanted to read last year and still do. Some of them I even had checked out from the library! I added tons of 2015 releases to my TBR after looking through all the best-of lists and end-of-year wrap-up posts, but those aren't included here. These are all books I've been wanting to read for a while, in most cases since before they even came out.
There are some pretty popular titles here -- have you read any of them? What should I make sure to read and what should I not beat myself up over if I never get to it? What books did you hope to read last year and didn't?
I keep seeing Luckiest Girl Alive around. I'm intrigued... I hope you manage to read these books!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these book yet either. I hope you enjoy all of them once you get around to them!!

What a great list, Lindsay! I would like to read Letters to the Lost too and Luckiest Girl Alive sounds intriguing as does The Ambassador's Wife. All of them really. Of your list, I have only read one, The Gracekeepers. I enjoyed it. It has a sort of fable feel to it, I thought. I hope you get a chance to read these!
ReplyDeleteGirl At War was fantastic. Fates and Furies was good too, although I see how Groff's style could be polarizing. I hope you enjoy them when you get to them!
