4. The Shadow Throne by Jennifer A. Nielsen
February 25th 2014
The third and final installment in The Ascendance Trilogy, I'm excited to finish this series. Jaron's reign has been rocky from the start, and the only tagline for this book so far, "War is Coming..." is extremely ominous.

My name is Amy Gumm—and I'm the other girl from Kansas. I've been recruited by the Revolutionary Order of the Wicked. I've been trained to fight. And I have a mission: Remove the Tin Woodman's heart. Steal the Scarecrow's brain. Take the Lion's courage. Then and only then—Dorothy must die!

7. Dear Killer by Katherine Ewell
April 1st 2014
Kit takes her role as London’s notorious “Perfect Killer” seriously. The letters and cash that come to her via a secret mailbox are not a game; choosing who to kill is not an impulse decision. Every letter she receives begins with “Dear Killer,” and every time Kit murders, she leaves a letter with the dead body. Her moral nihilism and thus her murders are a way of life—the only way of life she has ever known.

9. Firefight by Brandon Sanderson
-- 2014
The sequel to Brandon Sanderson's Steelheart. There isn't a lot of information released about Firefight yet, but I've read most of Brandon Sanderson's series, and I trust his writing and storytelling.

10. The Doors of Stone by Patrick Rothfuss
-- 2014
The first two books in The Kingkiller Chronicles were both whoppers of a book, and I spent a lot of time dedicated to reading them and falling in love with all the characters. Because of that, I'm not sure if I'm more excited or scared for the end of Kvothe's story.

Dorothy Must Die is on my TBR. I never actually saw the movie or anything, but I'm strangely excited for this new take!

The Crane Wife looks amazing. I'm going to have to add that to my TBR list!
ReplyDeleteDear Killer is on my list, too! When I found that book I was immediately sold!
ReplyDeleteI know a lot of people who haven't watched The Wizard of Oz, but I hope you get the chance to watch it when you're free, if only for the colors.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by!
Great to see Dear Killer on your list! So many fine titles on here!
