Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books On My Spring TBR List

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish.  Each week a new Top Ten list topic is posted and book bloggers fill in their own choices.  I'm a list girl (as in, I don't function without them), so I thought this would be a good choice for me!  I actually keep a running list based on release dates of ARCs on hand, books I want to read, and library book due dates.  If I went by the NEXT ten books on my spring TBR, this would be easy, but being the type to never make anything easy, I am going to do the top ten that I'm most excited for this spring...

Top Ten Books On My Spring TBR List

(March 21st-June 20th)

10.  The Springsweet by Saundra Mitchell~ Usually I don't really like Historical Fiction, but I loved this book's predecessor, The Vespertine (read my review HERE).  There was a mysterious paranormal element to this series that just drew me in.  Also, the covers are lovely.  The Springsweet comes out April 17th.

9.  Arise by Tara Hudson~ I read Hereafter, the first book in this series, last spring and absolutely loved it (read my review HERE).  Arise comes out on June 5th, and I can't wait!!

8.  The Selection by Kiera Cass~ I know there's been a lot of buzz about the author's response to a negative review on Goodreads, and I know a lot of people have said they won't read this because of it, but the story still looks good to me, and I still feel a need to read it.  Also, I love the cover, so I need to have it as part of my collection.  The Selection comes out April 24th.

7.  Thumped by Megan McCafferty~  I thought the first book in this series, Bumped (read my review HERE), was one of the smartest, most original books I read last year.  I'm very much looking forward to the release of Thumped on April 24th.

6.  Dreamless by Josephine Angelini~ Last spring I read this author's debut, this book's predecessor, Starcrossed (read my review HERE), and was blown away!  It thought it was great take on Greek mythology.  I have been eagerly awaiting the May 29th release of Dreamless ever since.

5.  The Drowned Cities by Paolo Bacigalupi~ I put off reading the award-winning first book in this series, Ship Breaker (read my review HERE), because it just didn't grab me.  I was so wrong to do that!  It was phenomenal, and I am so excited for The Drowned Cities to come out on May 1st!  I won't make the same mistake twice!

4.  Insurgent by Veronica Roth~ The first book in this trilogy, Divergent (read my review HERE), was one of my favorite books of 2011.  It ended with a lot of unknowns, so I am really eager to read Insurgent when it comes out on May 1st.

3.  City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare~ One of the few good things about the months slipping by so quickly is that it is almost May 1st, and that means that book #5 of The Mortal Instruments series, City of Lost Souls, comes out.  I'm a HUGE Cassie Clare fangirl, and this is not only one of my top spring TBRs, but one of my top 2012 picks.

2.  Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore~ This book has been a LOOOOOOONG time coming!  Graceling and Fire are two favorite High Fantasy novels EVER, and I think Bitterblue is going to be even better!  May 1st is going to be a great day!

1.  Timepiece by Myra McEntire~ Hourglass (read my review HERE) was one of my favorite books last year, and it left off in such a way that I was ready to trade my favorite of my three children for the next book!  June 12th can't really come soon enough!
