Top Ten Tuesday: Rewind, aka Books I Loved But Never Wrote A Review For

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish. Every week the participants have to post a top ten list to a certain topic. Anyone can participate and link up!

This week's topic is a rewind, that means we can pick a past topic that we missed or want to do again. I chose my Top Ten Books I Loved But Never Wrote A Review For. I don't know why I didn't. Some are because I read them before I really had the blog, some out of laziness, some because I feared that I could never do them justice or would just ramble and gush. Some I meant to but something happened and then it was too long ago that I'd read them. Oh well, here goes.

No particular order. Slideshow because I couldn't layout the pics the way I wanted and it's something different for once - in short, I felt like it.

1. Sweet Evil, by Wendy Higgins
   I LOVED this one! It kept me up into the night because I just couldn't stop. But somehow the review just never happened, I don't remember why but I have a bad conscience.
2. Anna Dressed in Blood, by Kendare Blake
   Also a total favorite! I was determined to review, already writing parts in my head. But someting came up and I never got around to it :(
3. Daughter of Smoke and Bone, by Laini Taylor
   One of my favorites I read this year, but this was before I had the blog.
4. Hunger, by Jackie Morse Kessler
   I wanted to, but it just hit too close to home and I would have had to go into personal stuff in the review, which I didn't want because well... this is the internet, and my name and face are on this blog.
5. Blood Bound, by Rachel Vincent
   Inconvenient timing and laziness combined with fear of not being able to do it justice because it was just that good.
6. The Wood Queen, by Karen Mahoney
   Victim of procrastination and lack of blog.
7. Bridger, by Megan Curd
   I was on the road and had loads of stuff to do when I got back from that ten-day interrail trip to three different cities. Read it on the drive to Prague and later to Hamburg and Amsterdam.
8. Croak, by Gina Damico
   Big love, but lots of life going on. I really want to review Scorch though!
9. The Devil's Graveyard, by Anonymous
   Third in the series. To be honest I didn't know how to approach a review of this book, plus it doesn't really fit into what I usually review here.
10. Bloodlines, by Richelle Mead
    I don't remember why this didn't happen, but I'm sure it was one of my ususal lame excuses :P

Comments on my list? Also, what topic did you choose for today?

Waiting on Wednesday: The Indigo Spell, by Richelle Mead

 Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill from Breaking The Spine to highlight books we are anxiously anticipating to read. My pick this week is:

Add it on goodreads

Release date: February 12, 2013
Publisher: Razorbill
Format: Hardcover, 432 pages

In the aftermath of a forbidden moment that rocked Sydney to her core, she finds herself struggling to draw the line between her Alchemist teachings and what her heart is urging her to do. Then she meets alluring, rebellious Marcus Finch--a former Alchemist who escaped against all odds, and is now on the run. Marcus wants to teach Sydney the secrets he claims the Alchemists are hiding from her. But as he pushes her to rebel against the people who raised her, Sydney finds that breaking free is harder than she thought. There is an old and mysterious magic rooted deeply within her. And as she searches for an evil magic user targeting powerful young witches, she realizes that her only hope is to embrace her magical blood--or else she might be next.



I know I know, this is an often-chosen and kinda obvious pick. But I discussed the first novel with my Mum last weekend and now I'm really into the series again! I think The Golden Lily ended at such a fascinating point for Sidney concerning her powers and her loyalty-situation. I'm extremely curious to meed Marcus. And of course I want more Sidney/Adrian scenes :P Plus, the cover is gorgeous. I can't wait to put all three books next to each other on my shelf!

Are you also counting down the days for The Indigo Spell? What are you waiting for this Wednesday? Tell me in the comments :)
