Top Ten Tuesday: Top 10 Spring / Fall 2013 TBR Books

It was so hard to pick only 10 of my most anticipated books in my Upcoming 2013 TBR stack. Check out the The Broke and the Bookish's Top 10 this week for more suggestions, and to participate in the blog hop!

Now technically the topic is my "Spring" TBR List -- however here in the Southern Hemisphere we're headed into fall so, here are my...

Top 10 Books on my  [Insert Equinox]  TBR List

Some of these are stories that I just haven't been able to to get to yet. Some of them are new releases that I am SUPER excited about ... for obvious reasons.

INTRIGUE
Spies, assassins, undercover trickery and covert plots. I've been aching to get my hands on these:

Etiquette and Espionage - Gail Carriger
Honestly, I have no idea why I haven't started this series yet! Oh yeah, because I'm super busy trying to finish my PhD. (boo). But THIS LADY is the queen of Steampunk mystery. And this is her first YA series! My mouth is watering at the thought of it. ( goodreads ) ( author )


Throne of Glass - Sarah J. Maas
An assassin fights for her freedom in a king's tournament. But when her fellow combatants are hunted down by an unknown killer, her fight for freedom becomes a fight for her life, and the survival of the world.
( goodreads ) ( author )



DRAGONS OH MY!
Because there really aren't enough books about dragons, you know?

Seraphina - Rachel Hartman
Really, the author had me at "Mathematical Dragons." Top it off with a royal intrigue and draconine music loving heroine? The icing on the cake. ( goodreads ) ( author )

Firelight - Sophie Jordan
I know this series has been around a couple years now, but I haven't had the chance to start in on them! Shape-shifting draki falling in love with a dragon-hunter.

Dualed  - Elsie Chapman
Pitched as "Hunger Games meets Matched" -- Dualed is set in a future reality where people must train to kill another version of themselves. ( goodreads ) ( author )

Pivot Point - Kasie West
Addison is a Searcher: she can see into the future, thereby determining the best path to take in the present. But the future isn't always clear, and her life is balanced on a single decision. ( goodreads )  ( author )

    .      .      

Altered - Jennifer Rush
After escaping from a secret underground lab, four genetically altered boys and the home-schooled girl who helped them try to piece together the secrets of their past before they are caught. ( goodreads ) ( author )

Reboot  - Amy Tintera
In a future where people can be "rebooted" from the dead, Wren trains the new recruits. Not all of them make the cut, which doesn't bother her until she meets Callum. ( goodreads )  ( author )

Transparent - Melanie Whipple
Love the premise of this: Most teens only feel invisible, but Fiona actually is. She's also a pawn in her dad's mob game -- until she decides she's had enough.
