Top Ten Tuesday is an original/weekly meme hosted by The broke and the bookish.
This weeks topic is: Ten Books We Meant To Read In 2017 But Didn't Get To (and totallyyyy plan to get to in 2018!!)
In 2017 it was the year of adult reads for me and my YA reads got put on the back burner, however there was some really great YA books I wanted to get to but just didn't. Below is a list of those books as well as an adult book thrown in for good measure.
Here We Are Now by Jasmine Warga- YA Contempoary
Out Of The Ashes (Maji #1) by LA Casey- Adult Sci Fi Romance
Geekerella by Ashley Poston- YA Retelling
The Names They Gave Us by Emery Lord - YA Contemporary
A List Of Cages by Robin Benway- YA Contemporary
By Your Side by Kasie West- YA Contemporary Romance
The Hate U Gave by Angie Thomas- YA Contemporary
Letters To The Lost by Brigid Kemmerer- YA Contemporary Romance
The Love Letters Of Abelard and Lily by Laura Creedle- YA Contemporary
I See London, I See France by Sarah Mlynowski- YA Contemporary Romance
What 2017 read didn't you get to but want to?
Letters to the Lost has been recommended to me by so many people. I read a few chapters of Geekerella when it first came out, but I wasn`t into it at the moment. Maybe I`ll have better luck in the summer.

I have heard great things about Letters to the lost. I really hope to get to it soon.
DeleteAwesome list! I also wanted to read the Hate U Give and Geekerella! Let's hope we both read these books!

ReplyDeleteI hope you like The Hate U Give. I thought it was an interesting read.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
I hope to get to it as well I have heard great things about it.
DeleteAlthough it wasn't on my 2017 TBR, I'd like to read Geekarella, and recently bought it for Kindle (on sale.)
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a fun read am hoping to get to it later in the year maybe the summer.
DeleteI didn't get to The Hate U Give in 2017 either, though I didn't manage to fit it on my list this week.

I read a few less YA last year too, although a few good ones snuck in. :) I see London, I See France sounds fun, and so does Here We Are Now.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these, but THUG is definitely on my list. I've heard such good things about it. I need to get to it ASAP.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I want to read Geekerella and By your side. I hope to get to them asap but you know how that goes haha. Great list!!!
ReplyDeleteTTT:Books I meant to read in 2017
You should drop everything and read Letters to the Lost! It's my favorite book by Brigid Kemmerer and that's saying a lot from someone who's not a huge fan usually of contemporary YA. It is brilliant!
ReplyDeleteA 2017 read I didn't get around to is Feversong by Karen Marie Moning. I don't even know why... :(
I don’t read much YA but I See London I See France and Geekerella both sound adorable!
ReplyDeleteA fun group of YA books! I think they all sounds like great choices. I really think YA books have the BEST covers too.
ReplyDeleteI happend to have read 7 of the books from your list. Geekerella was such a standout. If you are looking for fun, look no further than that book. Letters to the Lost was ah-mazing! I really liked Abelard and Lily. Lily was a great character. I always like a Kasie West book, and I did find By Your Side charming. The Name They Gave Us was fabulous too! A List of Cages made my list. I am angry at myself for letting it slip through the cracks, by it's going to happen.
ReplyDeleteI’ve had A List of Cages on my TBR list since before it came out. Sill haven’t read it. I hope you get a chance to read all these!

Geekerella was so good! And The Hate U Give was one I need to read as well. Thanks for stopping by my top 10 on Lisa Loves Literature earlier.
ReplyDeleteI loved Geekerella and The Hate U Give. Both were on my top 10 for 2017, so I hope you enjoy them. I hope you get to read all these books on your list.
ReplyDeleteI read A List of Cages last year and it broke my heart. So, so powerful. I still think about it. By Your Side was cute but not my favorite by West. And Letters to the Lost was so very good. I kept meaning to read Alex, Approximately last year and it never happened. Same with Autoboyography and The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice & Virtue.
ReplyDeleteGeekerella was so good! The Hate U Give was on my list too, I need to read it this year.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TTT
The Hate You Give and Geekerella are on my radar! Awesome list!
