Top Ten Tuesday is a book blogging prompt hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. I don’t participate every week, but I join in when I find the prompt interesting. This week’s prompt is your most anticipated reads of Spring 2014. I interpreted that as new releases/ARCs I’m excited to read and plan to finish before the middle of May. I’ll also be reading some backlist titles, but these are all new books coming out this spring or summer.
It’s so hard to narrow it down to just ten, because my to-be-read list is a bit out of control and I’m not moving through them as quickly as I’d like because of all the reading I have to do for the classes I’m taking this semester.
LGBTQ Young Adult Fiction
The youth services coordinator brought me these back from Public Library Association Conference. So excited!
Young Adult Contemporary
For some reason I’m not as drawn to fantasy/sci-fi young adult titles this season. I’ve started What I Thought Was True and am really enjoying it. I’m dying to read Annie Cardi’s The Chance You Won’t Return. Everyone has been raving about We Were Liars so I’m definitely keen to check that one out.
Adult Fiction
I read the first chapter of Landline already, and it has those insightful observations about people that are typical of Rainbow Rowell’s writing. I loved the premise of The Queen of the Tearling, a high fantasy adult title.
And of Course
I’m taking the release date off work to read this in one sitting! And very excited because although Laini Taylor’s book tour isn’t coming anywhere close this year, she’s going to be at ALA annual in Las Vegas this summer!
What are you most excited to read this spring?
wrapped up in books 
Oh goodness, is Landline out this spring? How could I forget! I guess it’s out in July but if the publisher moves it up I’ll be more than happy to read it :) I am green with envy that you have LaCour’s latest. Can’t wait to hear what you think of it! Great YA Contemporary choices too… glad to hear you’re liking What I thought was True. Happy spring reading!
I am so excited to read Landline, although I probably won’t be able to until the summer. I’m so jealous that you’ve read the first chapter already!

I’m also eagerly waiting to dabble into some of this seasons YA contemporary novels; particularly The Chance You Won’t Return. It certainly sounds like a powerful read!

New follower, hi!
I haven’t read Daughter of Smoke and Bone yet, I really need to catch up on that series. And many other series too…

DoaSaB is a MUST READ! My absolute favorite book. I’m actually kind of jealous you get to experience it for the first time.
I’m extremely excited for Landline as well. Rainbow Rowell has become a favorite author in such a quick time. I’m also not reading through my TBR list that quickly right now. I keep reading books that weren’t even on the list to begin with :)
Oh yes, Fanart! I’ve already read the ARC and it’s FANTASTIC. And One Man Guy!!! I really want to read that one too. :)
These are awesome and i cannot wait!
I can’t believe that I forgot to add Landline to my list. Really looking forward to that book.
All of these look awesome! I’m especially excited to finally read We Were Liars also. Great list – good luck with all of them!
Amanda @ i solemnly swear
