Top Ten Tuesday is sponsored by The Broke and The Bookish.
This happens every year. There are books I'm so excited about, but then I either don't get the ARC, or run out of time to get to them because of other review books. So here is a list of the top 10 books I didn't get to last year, but had been so excited to read.
1.
2.
3.
I actually got started on an e-galley of this one, but wasn't able to get it finished due to review obligations. :-(
4.
Even though the author thought there would be ARCs of this, there were not, so I just didn't get a chance to read it, still need to buy it.
5.
6.
The final book in a trilogy, there were no ARCs. But then with all the political things, I had a hard time reading all of his posts, they were so negative and so I just kind of lost my taste to read on in his series. I'll finish at some point, but for now, it's on the backburner. The second book had actually strayed quite a bit from what I'd loved about the first one, and had turned into the second book which is the usual road trip.
7.
8.
Well, I got an ARC of this through books for trade on Twitter, but while I got started reading it, again, because of review obligations, I didn't get to it.
9.
No ARC, so no copy of it yet.
10.
I had the e-galley of it, and thought I was on a tour, so I had it on the schedule to read. Then I realized that I had never received anything about the actual tour dates, so checked the tour site and saw that I had not been picked to be part of the tour. So unfortunately, my disappointment kept me from fitting it in. :-(
What are some books you planned to read in 2017 that you didn't get to?
Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings to spotlight
and talk about the books we're excited about that we have yet to read.
Generally they're books that have yet to be released. It's based on
Waiting on Wednesday, hosted by the fabulous Jill at Breaking the Spine. This week I'm picking a book that is by an author that I really like, but that I feel is not that well-known. It's also a Norse mythology story, and that is really getting to be more popular these days. Here is the blurb from Goodreads:
Are Hanne's powers a gift from the old Norse gods, or a curse?
Her brother Stieg swears their powers are a gift from the old gods, but Hanne Hemstad knows she is truly cursed. It's not Stieg's fault that their father is dead, their mother has left, and their brother Knut has been accused of a crime he didn't commit.
No, the fault lies with Hanne and her inability to control her murderous "gift"--she is a Berserker. When someone she loves is threatened, she flies into a killing state. The siblings must leave Norway for the American frontier or risk being brought to justice.
Aided by a young cowboy who agrees to be their guide, Hanne and her siblings use their powers to survive the perilous trail, where blizzards, wild animals, and vicious bounty hunters await.
Will they be able to reach their uncle, the one man Hanne believes may be able to teach her how to control her drive to kill? With Berserker, Emmy Laybourne, the author of Monument 14, presents her vision of an American west studded with Viking glory.
Have you read anything by Emmy Laybourne? Do you like the new trend of Norse mythology? Will you be adding this to your TBR? What book are you eagerly awaiting this week?
