Considering how much I love books (the reading, the talking about and the book loving community) and how often I make lists of books, I thought it was time to begin participating in Top Ten Tuesday, a meme created by The Broke and Bookish.
This week’s theme? Top Ten Most Anticipated Releases For the Rest of 2015
Listed by date of release.
Survival Strategies of the Almost Brave by Jen White (June 2015)
This is an unknown author for me but I am seeing some positive reviews from my Goodreads friends and I have a thing about resilient kids . . .
Delicate Monsters by Stephanie Kuehn (June 2015)
I have read two other titles from Kuehn. They were dark, serious and very well written – looking forward to more.
The Curious World of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly (July 2015)
I read the first Calpurnia Tate title to my children on a family holiday in Hawaii. We were smitten with the character, the time and the science. Sign me up for more.
The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness (August 2015)
A Monster Calls was a wow title for me. This one looks like a wild ride.
Goodbye Stranger by Rebecca Stead (August 2015)
Rebecca Stead. Rebecca Stead. Rebecca Stead!
I Crawl Through It by A.S. King (September 2015)
Okay so who is with me in being thrilled that A.S. King is so brilliant and so prolific?
Stand Off (Winger #2) by Andrew Smith (September 2015)
Loved, loved Winger. Love Andrew Smith.
The Wolf Wilder by Katherine Rundell (September 2015)
So if one were to judge a book by its cover . . . this is pretty gorgeous. But I have also read two titles by Rundell this year and am ready for more.
Crenshaw by Katherine Applegate (September 2015)
Yes, that Katherine. Oh so very excited.
Orbiting Jupiter by Gary D. Schmidt (October 2015)
Okay for Now by Schmidt is one of my all time favourite MG titles. The man is brilliant.
What 2015 titles are you looking forward to reading?
I’m totally judging The Wolf Wilder too. xD IT’S SO BEAUTIFUL. I hadn’t even heard of it before so definitely off to goodreads to check that one out! GAH. This reminds me how much I want to read Winger. And Patrick Ness is AMAZING. I’ve read The Rest of Us Just Live Here and fjaskdl so many incredible feels. Here’s my TTT!
It is a stunning cover! Winger is a must read!
The Wolf Wilder has been added to my list, it sounds really interesting. Great list 🙂
Rundell is a fantastic MG author.
I picked up several of these at the library conference in April. I hope to get to them soon.
Here’s mine!
Lucky you! I can’t wait to read some of the titles I have acquired at conferences this year but haven’t yet read. Hurray for summer reading!
I really need to get my hands on Crenshaw. I love that cover. Nice list!
Isn’t it a great cover? I am really excited to read this one.
I didn’t even have to double-take reading the blurb for I Crawl Through It. I immediately TBR’d it haha. And amen to everything you’ve said for Ness!
Cheers,
Joey via. thoughts and afterthoughts.
The A.S. King fan club is a big one. So much of what she does is so great. And so varied.
Great list! I am really looking forward to I Crawl Through it. I loved Reality Boy by A.S. King.

My favourite A.S. King title is Everybody Sees the Ants. But I love them all!
Your list! It is simply awesome. I fell head over heels for Cal Tate, so I am equally excited to read that book. I can’t wait to compare notes with you! I love all things A.S. King, too, so that is bound to be a good one. As you know from your comment, we share many books on our lists, so it seems we think alike. 🙂
I am so completely on the A.S. King fan list! Love to talk books with you and Kellee!
So excited for the new King, Applegate, Smith, and Ness!!!
I never read the first Calpurnia Tate book–I need to fix that!
And I ditto what Ricki said 🙂
Calpurnia Tate is such a lovely read. Both of my children loved it. Love that we all think alike 🙂
