Confessions of a Literary Addict

Top Five Wednesday is a weekly meme created by GingerReadsLainey and hosted Sam from Thoughts On Tomes over on Goodreads. This week’s topic is top 5 favorite science fiction & fantasy books I want to read ASAP.

I see how this ties in with the last one on this relative topic.

I’m down, but I’m going to break the rules again because I’m a rebel.

Science Fiction

5

Still own this. Still need to read it. The Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken.

4

Another one I own and still need to read. The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey.

(To be fair, the reason I’ve been putting it off is because I haven’t heard great things about the second book and I don’t want to initiate slump by accident.)

3

I feel like a broken record here. Zodiac by Romina Russell.

2

This one I don’t own, but I wish I did! Starflight by Melissa Landers.

1

And, finally, Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. I’m so pumped to read this and Gemina, but I want to wait until it’s closer to the release date of the third book, which still doesn’t have a title or a cover!

Fantasy

5

The Wrath & the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh, one I’ve been meaning to read for a while now.

4

… Been meaning to read this one since I was in, like, Elementary school. Oops. Inkheart by Cornelia Funke.

3

Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter.

2

The Foxhole Court by Nora Sakavic. I just really feel a pull for this one, and I really want to read it.

1

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, because I just really need to read one of her books. It’s the emotional investment that scares me.

And there’s my T5W for the week! Thanks for reading!
