Top Ten Books That I Want to Read Right Now

Top Ten Books That I Want to Read Right Now
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. They give bloggers a topic and we say our top ten things that fall under that list. This week was a freebie, so I decided to go with the top ten books that I want to read right now! 

1. Vicious by V.E. Schwab: I've wanted to read this for so long! A book about villains? Sign me up!
2. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon: I've never read a book about Scotland, and I've only heard good things about it. 

3. The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons: I've been really in the mood for historical fiction lately, and even though this book is over 800 pages, I really want to read it! 

4. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare: I read this book back in 2012, but I'm really in the mood to read it again and finish this series. 

5. A Clash of Kings by George R.R. Martin: I read A Game of Thrones two years ago, and I'm in a fantasy mood right now, so I need to pick up this book now! 

6. Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson: I've been wanting to read a Morgan Matson book for so long, and this one has been calling to me. 

7. The Diviners by Libba Bray: I love Libba Bray's books, and this one has been sitting on my shelf for too long. However, I hate the new cover. I mean, why would you mess with the perfection of the first cover? 

8. A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray: The idea of parallel universes just draws me in!

1. My Heart and Other Black Holes by Jasmine Warga: This book just sounds quirky and weird, but also awesome! 

Made You Up2. Blood and Salt by Kim Liggett: This sounds intensely creepy, but strangely interesting.

5. Conviction by Kelly Loy Gilbert: Another one with a cool cover and a really cool premise to back it up.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books People Tell Me To Read

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. They give bloggers a topic and we say our top ten things that fall under that list. 

This weeks topic is...

Top Ten Books that People Tell You That You MUST Read

Disclaimer: People don't usually tell me to read books. I usually tell people to read books. Therefore, this list is going to be a bit short. 

1. The Maze Runner Trilogy by James Dashner: My best friend has been nagging me to read this trilogy for forever. Maybe I'll get to it before the movie comes out. 

2. The Legend Trilogy by Marie Lu: My best friend has also been telling me to read these books, and I own the first, so I really have no excuse. 

3. Anything by Jodi Picoult: This same friend is also obsessed with Jodi Picoult, and she highly recommends her. 

That was my Top Ten (Three) Tuesday! Sorry is was so short, but I don't get recommended books often. What was on your Top Ten Wednesday? Tell me in the comments below!
