Top Ten 2014 Release I'm Dying To Read

I had to go do some Goodreads research to see what new books were coming out! I'm so behind on the news here in the book blogging part of the internet.

 

 

The Blood of Olympus by Rick Riordan(The Heroes of Olympus Book 5)

NO PHOTO

The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey 

(The 5th Wave Book 2)

 

 

Hollow City by Ransom Riggs

(Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children Book 2) 

 

The World of Ice and Fire by George R.R. Martin


There probably should be a lot more to this list but because I am so behind on my reading and haven't read a ton of new stuff to know that their sequels are coming out soon.

Leave links to your Top Ten Tuesday so I can catch up on all the new books coming out soon! Thank you!

46. The Immortals by Alyson Noel (4/6.5) WILL NOT FINISH
47. October Daye Series by Seanan McGuire (1/way too many)

 

There are actually more but I either didn't think they were important enough to write down or I just got tired of continuing the list. The 'way too many's will probably never get read.

 

I've also been trying to avoid starting new series but in most cases with newer fiction, you just can't help it. I really wanted to read Falling Kingdoms but now I have to wait til the end of the year to read the second book. I think I'm going to start waiting until the series is finished before reading it.
