Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful girls at The Broke and The Bookish. Every week the girls come up with a subject and we have to answer them.

Morning Swooners, 

For today list, it the new-to-me authors that we read in 2013:

Jenn's pick:

1. Sarah J. Maas - this author has become a favorite of mine ever since I picked up Throne of Glass this past summer. It quickly became one of my favorite series and I'm so excited to see where she takes it. I need book 3 now, though.

2. Rainbow Rowell - After Fangirl and Eleanor & Park, she is going to be on my go-to-author for 'The Feels'.

3. Suzanne Young - I read The Program, The Treatment, and Just Like Fate which she coauthored with Cat Patrick. And they all ended up being favorites books of 2013.

4. Trish Doller - Where the Stars Still Shine was such an lovely and painful read that I'm kicking myself for not picking up more of Trish's book earlier.

5. Gennifer Albin - Her book Crewel and Altered are so unique and it has made an impression on me.

6. Robyn Schneider - The Beginning of Everything is just plain lovely.

7. Jill Shalvis - Simply Irresistible (Luck Harbor #1)

Nahomi's pick:

8. Wendy Higgins - Sweet Evil and Sweet Peril. Kaiden Rowe, that's all I'm saying.

9. Cora Carmack - Losing It and Garrick. Hot and British Garrick, yes please!

10. Anna Carey - Eve

That's it for us, but do tell me what new author you read this year?

Top Ten Tuesday: Top 10 2014 Releases I'm Dying to Read

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful girls at The Broke and The Bookish. Every week the girls come up with a subject and we have to answer them.

Morning lovelies, 

For this week list, it the 2014 releases that we're currently dying to read. I have so many series that are ending next year and some sequels I can't wait to get my hands on. Here;s what I'm dying to read:

1 - The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin 

Michelle said that there won't be ARCs of this book but if I can get my hands on this book, like, now, I would die a happy girl

2. Untitled (Throne of Glass #3) by Sarah J. Maas - This book doesn't even have a title, cover or a synopsis, but I've been ready for this book since I finished Crown of Midnight back in August.

3. Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi 

I'm so curious to see how this series ends and to find out what will happen to my beloved Warner.

4. The Treatment by Suzanne Young

The Program was one of my favorite books that I read this year and I can't wait to see how Suzanne has in store for Sloane and James.

5. Isla and the Happily Ever After by Stephanie Perkins

I've been waiting for this book since 2011 and knowing its release date has been pushed back several times makes me hesitant to get excited for it. I know Stephanie has explained why it been taking so long, so I just be sitting here, waiting.

6. Dreams of Gods and Monsters by Laini Taylor

I feel in love with series when the first book came out but I haven't read book 2 yet just because I knew that the book hangover I would have with it would just kill me. But now I get reread book 1 and finally book 2 knowing that my wait is short.

7. What I Thought Was True by Huntley Fitzpatrick

This sounds like such a fluffy read and I've heard so many good things about this author that I know I will just love it.

8. On the Fence by Kasie West

Just like with Huntley Fitzpatrick's What I Thought Was True, I've heard nothing but praise for Kasie West. So I'm adding what looks like another fluffy read to my TBR list.

9. Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins

Having read her Hex Hall series, I know Rachel will not disappoint with this book. 

10. Sublime by Christina Lauren

If you've been to the blog, you know we love Christina Lauren around here. We've devoured their Beautiful Bastard series in a sitting and when they announced their YA book, I knew I they were going on my "Needs-to-get-my-hands-on-ASAP" list. 

That is it for me today. Just looking at the list  makes me vibrate with energy and get my grabby hands excited. What are your top 10 2014 books that you're dying to get your hands on?

Morning Swooners,

Here's our list of the top 10 books we recommend:

1. Harry Potter - Everyone should read this series.

2. Shatter Me - the writing. Tahereh Mafi has a way to capture you with her writing.

3. The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - creepy but it has a hot guy with a British accent.

4. Throne of Glass - The story line, the female characters, everything is just brilliant.

5. Beautiful Stranger - Max!

6. Pride and Prejudice - Mr. Darcy. Need I say more?

7. Delirium - the concept of love as a disease still gets me all the time.

8. If I Stay - the writing, the story, the feels is just perfection.

9. Anna and the French Kiss - feeling sad and down, this will be the perfect feel good book you can read.

10. Divergent - the unique story line. But this is only up to book 1 and book 2, Insurgent.

That is for me, what are the top 10 books that you recommend?
