Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, where each week bloggers are given a new Top Ten theme to blog about. Since we’re now about halfway through 2015 (!), this week we’re listing our Top Ten Books for the rest of the year. Of course, this list is only a snapshot in time, as I’m sure more books will pop up between now and the end of the year that could certainly make this list. But for now, in order of release date, here they are:
Updraft by Fran Wilde. Releases September 1 from Tor Books. I was lucky to get an ARC of Updraft, so I’ll be reading and reviewing this closer to the release date.
Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho. Releases September 1 from Ace. This just popped up on my radar, and even though it’s not my usual type of read, it sounds really good. Just read the Goodreads description and you’ll see what I mean:-D
The Aeronaut’s Windlass by Jim Butcher. Releases September 14 from Roc. OK, don’t laugh, but I still haven’t read anything by Jim Butcher! I know, crazy. Let’s start with this one, the first of a new series.
Dragon Coast (Daniel Blackland #3) by Greg Van Eekhout. Releases September 15 from Tor Books. Pacific Fire left us with a huge cliffhanger, and I can’t wait to see how Greg wraps up this series!
Blood and Salt by Kim Liggett. Releases September 22 from G.P. Putnam’s Sons Books for Young Readers. “Romeo and Juliet meets Children of the Corn.” That’s all I need to know:-D
Gold, Fame, Citrus by Claire Vaye Watkins. Releases on September 29 from Riverhead Books. A post-apocalyptic story with more of a literary bent to it. I recently listed this as one of my Top Ten Non SFF Books I Want to Read, and here it is on another list!
Rising Tide by Rajan Khanna. Releases October 6 from Pyr. I quite enjoyed the first book in Khanna’s series, Falling Sky. I’m excited to get back into his steampunk world.
Silver on the Road by Laura Anne Gilman. Releases October 6 from Saga Press. I’m so intrigued by this story about a girl who goes to work for the devil. It seems like a mash-up of a few genres, and I’m looking forward to reading it.
Illuminae by Amie Kaufman Jay Kristoff. Releases October 20 from Knopf Books for Young Readers. I was just approved for this on NetGalley (although it’s one of those titles that I can’t read on my Kindle, so I need to figure out how I’m going to read it). Anyway, I couldn’t be more excited! I adore Jay and this seems like quite the departure from his Lotus War series.
Our Lady of the Ice by Cassandra Rose Clarke. Releases October 27 from Saga Press. I honestly don’t even care what this is about. It’s a Cassandra Rose Clarke book and it’s from Saga Press. That’s all!
I’d love to know if you plan on reading any of these:-D
Damn, I forgot to add ‘The Aeronaut’s Windlass’ to my list. I also have a wish to start reading Jim Butcher but catching up with Dresden files is so intimidating, so I hope to start with new series. 🙂
Great list!

I agree, that series is so long already! I read an excerpt of Aeronaut and it sounds really good:-)
Ooooh Sorcerer To The Crown sounds really good, thanks for bringing my attention to it! I’m very intrigued by Illuminae, so far I’ve only seen/read/heard good things about it! Fantastic list. 😀 x

Illuminae is definitely at the top of this list, I’m so excited to read more Jay Kristoff:-)
I’m also intrigued by The Illuminae. I haven’t read any of Jay Kristoff’s work yet (Stormdancer is in my literal TBR pile at home *wink*), but it sounds really interesting. So does Sorcerer To The Crown. That’s the first I’m hearing of that book, too, so thanks for letting us know about it. 🙂
A couple titles yet-to-be-released titles I’m looking forward to are “House of Shattered Wings” by Aliette de Boduard (sp?), “Dreamstrider” by Lindsey Smith, and “The Violinist of Venice” by Alyssa Palombo.

I can’t wait to read House of Shattered Wings as well. There’s just too many books to keep the list to 10;-)
hehe I love that you love Saga Press! 🙂 🙂
Oh good, another Saga Press fan:-D
Updraft and Sorcerer to the Crown are two I’ve been looking forward to for a while, but I’m very interested in the Illuminae. I saw the SFF180 video with it last week, and I really want to see how people feel about the physical presentation of the story.
I’m going to have to check out that video. I am a little worried about reading the ebook of Illuminae (which I have a copy of) for that very reason, I understand it’s a very unusual presentation.
https://youtu.be/Yvr_NGg6vn4?t=10m54s I was thinking about that with e-books. Makes me wonder if/how an audio version would be done too.
There’s a few series on here that I should really catch up on! And Updraft sounds really good, I’m excited to hear your review of it. 🙂
Jenn recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: Books coming out in the second half of 2015
Good luck on catching up with those series;-D
Ah! Updraft! I am really excited for it. So many good books that I am looking forward to on your list and a couple that I haven’t heard of yet. I think I need to go casually follow you on Goodreads so I can remember what I need to add to my pile.
Ha ha, I’m glad we’re GR friends now, you always have awesome books on your radar as well:-)
The Aeronaut’s Windlass is on my must-read list as well – looking forward to my first Jim Butcher read.
Oh good, I’m not the only Jim Butcher newbie!
I have Blood and Salt on my list for the exact same reason! I’m going to check out Gold, Fame, Citrus and Silver on the Road. Great list!
Thanks Lyn, I hope we both love Blood and Salt:-D
Blood & Salt and Illuminae!! *fist-bump* Lol
Sorcerer to the Crown is totally on my TBR and while I love the looks of the new Jim Butcher, I really have some Harry to catch up on still. Like a lot. haha I’ve only read the first two. I love the sound of Silver on the Road too! Great list!!
I’m hoping the new Jim Butcher doesn’t require reading the Harry books first, because I haven’t read any of them, LOL!
Wow, you are so right about Sorcerer to the Crown – it looks fantastic! Thanks for brining it to my attention. 🙂 Updraft, Rising Tide, and Silver on the Road are also on my TBR list! Laura Anne Gilman has been writing forever but somehow I’ve never read one of her books.

I’ve never heard of her until now, at least if we love this book, we’ll have some backlist options:-)
Heh heh, I can tell you one of these books is going to be my Waiting on Wednesday this week 🙂
Zen Cho is also on my watch list now thanks to you and Tenacious Reader. Two more I would add to my list would be Tower of Thorns (sequel to Dreamer’s Pool) and Armada (an ARC of which landed on my doorstep today!)

*flies into a jealous rage over ARMADA* You are so lucky. I’ve been trying so hard to get an ARC. Supposedly mine’s in the mail, but I’m getting nervous:-D
A good number of these are already on my radar, but adding Blood and Salt and Silver on the Road 🙂
Lisa @TenaciousReader recently posted…Audiobook Review: Firefight by Brandon Sanderson
Happy to add MORE books to your pile, Lisa!
I think Our Lady of the Ice is on my TBR, I didn’t even realise it wasn’t released yet, which shows how much of a track I keep of my TBR.
I love your list.
Updraft I’m excited to read.
Blood and Salt – I’m very curious about.
And, I just like the title Illuminae!
Lynn 😀

Gorgeous reads! I see a lot of excitement about Illuminae. I’m drawn to Gold, Fame, Citrus and Blood and Salt. Hope you enjoy all of these!

I’m so excited for Blood and Salt even though the combination they call out seems completely impossible to be done right. lol Can’t wait to find out. And can’t wait for Illuminae! I haven’t read any of those authors other books but am crazy anxious for this one.
