Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books on My Spring 2014 TBR List

 Top Ten Tuesday topic is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

This week's topic is Top Ten Books on My Spring 2014 TBR List! I've got so many books on my TBR list, it's hard to narrow it down to just ten!

1. The Violent Century by Lavie Tidhar: I've got the paperback for this preordered and heading my way in April! I saw a few reviews comparing it to Alan Moore's Watchmen, and I was immediately intrigued. Hoping this will be one I can talk the boyfriend into reading as well.

2. Authority by Jeff VanderMeer: The second of VanderMeer's Southern Reach trilogy, the first book of which I just reviewed. This book comes out in May!

3. Enders by Lissa Price: I read Starters way back in 2012 (I have to admit that I picked it up based solely on its cover, which is way cooler in person, all textured and sparkly), and the sequel got a bit delayed and just fell off my radar, but it looks like it's out now! I'll have to reread the first book before starting Enders.

4. Reconstructing Amelia by Kimberly McCreight: I just had to have this book last fall, and then it sat on my TBR shelf forever. Gotta remedy that!

5. Fiend by Peter Stenson: I overheard a coworker talking about this book last week, and I had to look it up. A zombie novel from the point-of-view of a meth addict? Dying to read it.

6. Sleep Donation by Karen Russell: I haven't read Swamplandia, but this book has been getting lots of good buzz, about an insomnia epidemic. This comes out March 25.

7. Wild Fell by Michael Rowe: This ghost story sounded like it would be right up my alley, so I look forward to finding a dark and stormy night to snuggle up under a blanket with this one. Too bad real stormy nights are such a rarity in Austin!

8. The Archived by Victoria Schwab: This book has been on my TBR list for so long that I forgot about it and tried to add it again! Gotta read this one.

9. The Who FAQ by Mike Segretto: A book on my favorite band by the man behind the excellent PsychoBabble, a blog about retro rock and classic horror. I'm looking forward to reading this when it comes out in May!

10. Drinking with Men: A Memoir by Rosie Schaap: Another one that I just had to buy and then let sit on my shelf for a shamefully long time. I'm still pretty new to Austin, and this book feels like it could be an accessory to my nostalgia about nights out at bars with old friends in previous cities. Maybe I'll be inspired to seek out a new hangout.
