It’s Tuesday, and time for another Top Ten list from the Broke and the Bookish! With so many upcoming fun Top Ten lists this month, it’s going to be hard to avoid some crossover, so I’m selecting books that haven’t been on any previous top ten lists. Also, I’m only highlighting books that already have a cover design, because it’s no fun to look at a book list without seeing the covers, am I right? I seem to have a lot of books from Tor on this list, which wasn’t planned:-) Here they are, in order of release date (click on the titles to go to Goodreads):
1. The Alex Crow by Andrew Smith. Releases March 3 2015 from Dutton Childrens. I read my first Andrew Smith book this year (100 Sideways Miles) and loved it. I’m going to tackle his backlist at some point, but I also want to read ALL THE NEW ANDREW SMITH BOOKS.
2. The Hellsblood Bride by Chuck Wendig. Releases March 5 2015 from Angry Robot. Angry Robot has been going through some stuff lately, they were recently bought by a new company, and so they’ve halted their publishing schedule until next March, when they plan on coming back bigger and stronger! I couldn’t be more happy, it’s seriously been lonely in Bookland without new AR titles to read. And because The Blue Blazes was so amazing, of course I’m dying to read this sequel. And because, CHUCK WENDIG, PEOPLE!
3. A Reunion of Ghosts by Judith Claire Mitchell. Releases March 24 2015 from Harper. This story sounds A. Ma. Zing. Just go to Goodreads and check it out! It sounds extremely dark, which is my kind of book, and I’m getting a creepy The Virgin Suicides vibe from it. Can’t wait!
4. Rook by Sharon Cameron. Releases April 28 2015 from Scholastic Press. I just recently came across this title, and it sounds like a wonderful mix of alternate history and romance, and it takes place in Paris, or maybe a different sort of Paris?
5. The Shadow Revolution (Crown & Key #1) by Clay Griffith & Susan Griffith. Releases June 2 2015 from Del Rey. The Griffith duo are at it again with a new series! I still haven’t read Vampire Empire, but that doesn’t stop me from adding this to the list. Just check out the description on Goodreads and see for yourself!
6. Survive the Night by Danielle Vega. Releases July 7 2015 from Razorbill. Vega’s The Merciless was one of my favorite YA books this year, and I can’t wait to see what she does next!
7. Time Salvager by Wesley Chu. Releases July 7 2015 from Tor Books. Wesley’s making the jump to the big leagues, after having great success with Angry Robot! I’m so happy for him, and excited to read this time travel story.
8. Last First Snow (Craft Sequence #4) by Max Gladstone. Releases July 14 2015 from Tor Books. I’ve been a steadfast fan of Max’s Craft Sequence since the beginning, and I’m happy that he’s not stopping at a trilogy.
9. The Uninvited by Cat Winters. Releases August 11 2015 from William Morrow. This is Cat’s first adult book, and it promises to have the same creepy, historical vibe as her YA books, In the Shadow of Blackbirds and The Cure for Dreaming (which I still need to read!). I can’t wait!
10. Nightwise by R.S. Belcher. Releases August 18 2015 from Tor Books. I loved Rod’s Golgotha series, and this time he’s tackling urban fantasy! This one sounds just as crazy good as his other books:-)
Of course, this is by no means a complete list, as there will always be more than ten books that I can’t wait to read. But these are the books I’m most excited about today. Let me know what books you’re looking forward to in 2015!
Time Salvager sounds really good! 🙂 Must put that on my wishlist!
I loved Wes’ other books, so it should be good!
Oh, The Uninvited comes out on my birthday! That’s a definite sign that I HAVE to buy it, right? It looks good and creepy, which is just my type 🙂

Absolutely, you MUST buy it:-) Maybe someone will buy it for you!
I haven’t read any Chuck Wendig books yet, but I should correct that because I follow his blog and he is hilarious and seems to know his stuff.

Ha ha, his books are just as funny as his blog, you’d love him!
Forgot Belcher had sold a UF series, he announced that quite a while ago. I would like to try Chu since I never read his first series even though I should have.
This one sounds much different from Wesley’s first series, so I’m very curious to read it.
I know, it’s so hard not to get repedative with all of these to read lists! I have a book by Wendig on my Kindle right now, it’s one of those that’s been there for a while, sounds like I should get to it. I haven’t heard of any of these books! My to read list exploded. hehe. Rook sounds really cool! People on goodreads so don’t know how to classify it though.

I haven’t heard too much about a ton of these, will definitely have to check them out now. Am especially excited for The Uninvited though and Nightwise sounds pretty interesting. Great picks! 🙂
So much “yes” on this list! Definite all caps YES to Alex Crow, Time Salvager, and Last First Snow. I have yet to read anything by Wes Chu but if his twitter feed is any indication, he’s friggin’ hilarious. Can’t wait to read one of his books!

Ooh, I need to add that Cat Winters title to my wish list! I just read THE MERCILESS so I’ll need to add Vega’s upcoming book to the list as well.
Becky LeJeune recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: 2015 Releases I’m Most Looking Forward To
I would have a really hard time putting a list like this together…so many books, and so many more we don’t know about yet. I could probably put together 10 just for the first three months of 2015 😛

I like that you did a list that excludes all the obvious choices you see everywhere else! 🙂 Last year I did a “New Series/Standalones” list. I may have to try to do that one again because it had a similar effect of getting lesser mentioned items on the list.

oooh, Survive the Night and The Uninvited definitely sound up my alley, that reminds me I still need to read Merciless! So weird because at this end of the year I am reading more creepy books! Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on these next year 🙂
