2. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline - I had zero interest in reading this one when it first came out. The whole gamer science fiction thing just didn't catch my attention. But then I started seeing the reviews and they were beyond glowing. And THEN I discovered that Wil Wheaton reads the audio and that my library has a copy on audio on their digital site. How can I pass that up?
3. Three Fates by Nora Roberts - I love new and shiny books but lately I've been realizing that I miss my old favorites so I'm trying to throw in a reread every so often. This book involving 2 countries, 2 time periods, 3 couples and a whole host of villains is the one I'm hoping to reread this spring.
4. Lost on Planet China by J. Maarten Troost - I've really enjoyed Troost's previous two books that chronicle his time spent on an atoll in the Pacific and then Tahiti so I'm super excited to read about his adventures in China.
6. Gone Without a Trace by Mary Torjussen - Because what TBR would be complete without a thriller with an unreliable narrator? I'm super excited about this one about a woman whose boyfriend has quite literally disappeared without a trace.
7. Any Day Now by Robyn Carr - Robyn Carr is one of those authors that I'm always meaning to read more of but never quite manage to read as much as I'd like. I'm really looking forward to this 2nd book in the Sullivan's Crossing series.
8. Until You by Denise Grover Swank - I loved the first book in this contemporary romance series and am super excited about this second book!
9. Death in the Abstract by Emily Barnes - This cozy series about a former police chief turned artist has been on my radar for awhile and this one features a missing person mystery which is one of my favorite kinds of mysteries.
10. The God of the Hive by Laurie R. King - I'm woefully behind in this Sherlock Holmes?Mary Russell series. I read the one right before this last year and there were a lot of things left unresolved. I'm really looking forward to finding just how everything works out!
What are you looking forward to reading this spring?
I think Wil wheaton narrating Ready Player One would be pretty good. :) I wasn't super crazy about the book but I think I'm in the minority, a lot of people like it. And it's definitely not bad. Lost on Planet China sounds pretty good too...
ReplyDeleteGone Without a Trace is on my list too. You have quite a lineup!
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to read READY PLAYER ONE. I should listen to it on audio - seems to be loved by one and all. I've read THREE FATES and though I don't remember much about the story, I'm sure I loved it. I should reread it too!
ReplyDeleteThe RPO audio is amazing!! I loved that book so much. Hope you enjoy it!!
ReplyDeleteReady Player One was so good! I didn't enjoy Armada, his second novel, quite as much, but still good!
ReplyDeleteI loved every one of the Mary Russell/Sherlock Holmes books. I'm constantly looking for when the next one will be coming out but sadly, I have to wait... I also have Ready Player One in my pile but it's on hold for now. I'll probably read it over the summer. Have a lovely week!

I love LRK's series about Russell & Holmes! So much fun. This latest one, The Murder of Mary Russell, was especially good, I thought.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT is here :-)
I've been re-reading a lot of Nora Roberts books lately. But I've never read that one. It looks really interesting. Have you ever read her J.D. Robb books?
ReplyDeleteReady Player One is so awesome! I hope you'll like it! :)

Oh, what a great list! A nice mix of genres and styles. God of the Hive is wonderful! I liked Any Day Now (which reminds me, I need to write the review!), and I'll be reading Tightening the Threads, though it didn't quite make my list (mostly because I have to read the one that comes right before it -- I'm behind.) And it sounds like I need to add The Three Fates to my Nora Roberts list. I'm not trying to read all her books, but that one definitely calls to me!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to read a book by Denise Grover Swank sometime soon - I've heard great things! My TTT
ReplyDeleteI bought Ready Player One a while ago but haven't read it yet. I keep looking at the audio for it just because of Wil Wheaton. I can't wait to read Gone Without a Trace as well.
ReplyDeleteOnly one of those books on my list to read. :)
ReplyDeleteHi! I feel better that you haven't read Ready Player One yet. lol I thought I was the only one who hadn't. It's still on my TBR list! Ahhh....

I loved Three Fates! Definitely worth a reread. I still can't decide if I want to read Ready Player One. I have a signed copy of Armada (that I still haven't read). Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI had no interest in Ready Player One at first, either, but I want to read it now as well. I didn't play many video games, but my ex did and I watched him play, as well as being his navigator and puzzle solving buddy. I have seen a lot of reviews lately that have piqued my interest. :)
