I’ve decided to join the Top 10 Tuesday Weekly fun on my blog because why the hell not? Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. If you want to join in the fun, hop on over to their blog to see what it’s all about!
This weeks topic is the Top 10 Hyped Books I’ve Never Read. I had a teeny bit of trouble gathering ten books for this list because I am always reading the hyped up books when they come out. I just can’t help it. I mean what’s the point of all the hype if the book isn’t any good? So the books I put on this list are the hyped books I have yet to read, because lets face it, I’m going to read them sooner or later!
10) The Maze Runner by James Dashner
I’ve seen the movie and I’ve been slacking on picking up this book. Maybe 2015 will be the year I do it!
9) I’ll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson
This has been recommended to me from several different people. It has won awards. The plot sounds like a book I would love. All this awesomeness and I have yet to read it.
8) Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
I am slowly but surely getting through The Mortal Instruments series so I can finally start the prequel to it all. I’m only several years behind the hype.
7) Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell
Naturally after reading Eleanor and Park I wanted to immediately start Fangirl… but…but…yeah. I still haven’t read it.
6) The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
Booktube exploded with this book and has literally hyped this book up so much that I want to go as far as to purchase the UK covers. Come on, just look at the beauty of them!
5) A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin
Yes this book is huge and wordy. And yes I will eventually read it. I just have to grow some balls first.
4) The Raven Boys by Maggie Stiefvater
I am finally going to cave and read this book. I purchased it and it’s close up on the TBR list. Look out for it soon!
3) Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo
Same goes for this glory! After seeing the hype for Six of Crows, a story held in the same world as this one, I will naturally have to read this one first!
2) Red Rising by Pierce Brown
This freaking book has been taunting me on my TBR list for so goddamn long. I’ve already started it but have since put it down. Not because its not interesting or good, I’m just weird like that.
1) An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
Ok, this book. Do I even have to say anything? It was so good that it went from being a standalone book to a freaking series. It’s so hyped I don’t even know what to do with it! Duh, I will read it.
Well there you have it. The Top Ten Hyped Books I’ve Never Read. Let me know what you guys think of my list and share with me what are some of your hyped books you have yet to read.
See ya next time,
Jesse Nicholas
I want to read Red Rising too and do something similar where I put a book down (even if I like it) and then forget I was reading it. That’s not weird!

I really want to finish it though. I can’t move on if I don’t!

Ah… such a toughie because I really love The Raven Boys and Fangirl. I’d highly recommend those two. The Maze Runner was a first in a series of pure frustration. I really have not liked any of James Dashner’s books. However, I really liked the movie. Go figure?
An Ember in the Ashes was the first book in 2015 that I reread right away because I feel I missed so much on the first reading. It was good, I thought.
A few of your choices could’ve been on My TTT List if I had thought about them.

The first Maze Runner book is easily the best of the series. Personally, I enjoyed The Infernal Devices more than The Mortal Instruments – the real fun is finding all the connections.

Yeah I want to take my time with The Mortal Instruments so I can gather all the information I can to connect the dots in future books.

Welcome to this weekly meme! You say “join the fun” now…but these lists will ruin your life in the best way possible haha. In hindsight, I should have joined yearlong Sanderson Year Of Cosmere thing happening as I’ve yet to read Mistborn, but you’re right, the UK covers are so much nicer!
Cheers,
Joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts.

I definitely recommend The Raven Boys. Though the beginning is rather slow it does get better.
I’m in the same boat as you with The Maze Runner. I watched the movie, but have yet to read the book. I would really like to read Red Rising as well. I’ve heard good things about the book. 🙂

A also want to read The Raven Boys and Red Rising so bad!!! I’ll be waiting to see what you think! Everbody is saying that I’ll Give you the Sun will give so much feels, I’m not so sure I’m ready for that kind of commitment… but I’m very excited to try her out. OMG. YES PLEASE. Go read The Infernal Devices (so much better than TMI in my opinion) also Shadow and Bone (you will thank me when you meet the Darkling… or not lol) and The Ember in the Ashes. It is so exciting!! It gave me GoT feels. Do you watch GoT?? It is very intense but they say the book is more intense. Definitely should read that soon!!!! I’m so excited to talk to you about this books once you’ve read them!!! 😉
