Despite reading only 61 books this year (so far), I happened to read some truly amazing books by equally amazing authors. This could be the reason why there are thirteen of them mentioned here instead of the usual ten. I have no regrets.
There was no way to choose ten from all the 2014 releases so I went with standalones. For. These. Can. Not. Wait. I.
Science fiction is currently divided into a dozen sub-genres which means that there’s something for everyone. So I decided to pick up ten of the most popular titles that YA science fiction has to offer. There are no descriptions because it’s all pretty self-explanatory.
So have you read any of these? If not, do you plan to?
Covers matter. Sometimes it so happens that an absolutely gorgeous cover is redesigned to target a different audience. Sometimes they’re just bad. But sometimes, someone decides to redesign a cover which turns out to be absolutely perfect. As it’s Sci-Fi Month, I’m focusing on sci-fi cover redesigns that should exist on this planet in print. Till that happens, I’ll just gaze at these:
I suck at committing myself to read beforehand. Not always but usually. But if I’m doing a list of top ten, I’d be getting to at least half of these before fall’s over. Right? Right.
i. Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Mass
ii. These Broken Stars (Starbound, #1) by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner
iii. The Raven Boys (The Raven Cycle, #1) by Maggie Stiefvater
Do I even need a reason? Of course not. Moving on.
iv. Wild Cards (Wild Cards, #1) by Simone Elkeles
v. Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3) by Richelle Mead
I’m currently reading Frostbite and I’m loving this series like anything so yes, yes and yes.
vi. Just One Year (Just One Day, #2) by Gayle Forman
I need this like yesterday.
vii. Crash into You (Pushing the Limits, #3) by Katie McGarry
Isaiah. ‘Nuff said.
viii. The Promise of Amazing by Robin Constantine
ix. Wild Awake Hilary T. Smith
I just want to read this now.
xi. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
I feel like such an embarrassment to have not read this book yet. But fear not for Wendy, Tonya and K are having a The Book Thief readalong in October over at The Midnight Garden which I totally approve of.
xii. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Well, of course this would be make the list.
xiii. Allegiant (Divergent, 3#) by Veronica Roth
I should get to Insurgent so that I can get to this. I’m nervous and sickeningly excited. *pouts*
