[Top Ten Tuesday] Books Recently Added To My TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish

Top Ten YA Books Recently Added To My TBR

Oh TBR... okay, so I don't add books to my TBR unless I have them "in-hand". Books I'm interested in but do not have access to are grouped separately. So I decided to split the list... five from my actual TBR and 5 from my Interested list. :p

  3. I never heard of Soundless but it seems like a really interesting read. Also I forgot that Nimona becoming a graphic novel until I saw this! I love the webcomic and Noelle Stevenson's comic Lumberjanes. Amazing list and I am adding a few to my own!

  4. I'm really excited about Mead's new book. I love the VA world, but it's cool to have something new.
    I JUST realized An Ember in the Ashes hasn't been released yet. I've been seeing it all over the blogs for months so I was totally shocked! I've been hearing a lot of great things about it and I can't wait to read it as well.
    I've got Lock & Mori on my TTT list also.

  9. Soundless, Every Last Word, and An Ember Into Ashes are all things I am dying to read. I don't know how I feel about Soundless' cover though. Mead seems to really like putting faces on her covers
