Top Ten Tuesday: Backlisted Books I want to read!

                Hello everyone!  So quick update my grandma had a medical scare this weekend and was in the hospital, all is good now thankfully it was a false alarm but it kind of took up most of my weekend and now I think I'm coming down with a something if my struggle to stay awake for more than an hour when not forced to be at work is any indication.  Seriously Sunday I slept for about 20 hours on and off and kept wanting nothing but sleep.  Anywho I was able to type this up at work and wake myself early enough for shift today that I could get on my computer at the house to format and post so yay!  Progress!  Top Ten Tuesday is just how it sounds, a topic is picked and we put our Top Ten for that in a post and share and check out everyone’s answers.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

                Hello everyone!  Top Ten Tuesday is just how it sounds, a topic is picked and we put our Top Ten for that in a post and share and check out everyone’s answers.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

The top ten today is:  Books by my FAVE authors I still haven’t read yet!!!

Titan series by Jennifer L. Armentrout- Okay so honestly I’m hella behind on her books in general because OMG the woman can write and has tons out but I finished the original series and wanted to continue on but I’ve stalled…mostly since I listened to the one I kind of want to continue listening which means waiting for sales or credits lol

All the Crooked Saints by Maggie Stiefvater- So yeah I love her as an author and a person and I had this on my wish list forever only holding off because I’m broke but I recently ordered it so hopefully this won’t be one for much longer!

Landline by Rainbow Rowell- Honestly I don’t have an excuse for this just one of those that hasn’t happened yet for some reason.

There’s Someone Inside Your House by Stephanie Perkins- Okay so I got this at the signing when it came out but didn’t get to it at the time but I did try and save it so I could read it around Halloween because come on it seem like a good fit!

The Language of Thorns:  Midnight Tales and Dangerous Magic by Leigh Bardugo- This book looks so pretty!  Why is it not on my shelf yet???

The Magisterium series by Cassandra Clare and Holly Black- Two authors I adore (even though I am woefully behind in all things Holly Black) I am caught up in everything else Cassandra Clare I think but I need to read these!

Renegades & Heartless by Marissa Meyer- How am I so behind?  No idea how it happened but the more books/series I add the more I need to step up my reading game!

The final two books in The Glittering Court series by Richelle Mead- Yep these…thought I’d wait for the 3^rd to come out so I could read them together and of course I haven’t gotten 3 yet because I’m trying to be a responsible adult…

The first 2 books in the new House of Night Other World series by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast- The original books were one of the first few series I really dove into as I started reading post school and have continued reading so when it continued in a new series I was ready but somehow I haven’t started yet.

A Reaper at the Gates (An Ember in the Ashes #3) by Sabaa Tahir- I was so excited for this.  I still am.  I just got behind and haven’t had a chance to read it yet.
