"Top Ten Books We Wouldn't Mind Santa Bringing This Year"

Nicole's Top Five

1. Princess of Thorns by Stacey Jay
(I need this on my shelves!)
2. Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein
(I still don't have a hardcopy and that is a mistake)
3. The Infinite Sea by Rick Yancey
(This series has completely taken me by surprise!)
4. Golden Son by Pierce Brown
(A pre-order would be nice this book is like $20)
5. A Darker Shade of Magic by Victoria Schwab
(Another early 2015 release that I need!)

Ashley's Top Five

Scarlet (Scarlet #1) by A.C. Gaughen
(Everyone seems to love this one, so I would love to give it a try)
Inspire (The Muse #1) by Cora Carmack
(I would love this one for Christmas, I may cave and just buy it soon :) )
The Orphan Queen (The Orphan Queen #1) by Jodi Meadows
(I got a sneak peak of this one and LOVED it so I can't wait to finish it)
The Winner's Crime (The Winner's Trilogy #2) by Marie Rutkoski
(AHH, cannot wait for this one)
The Retribution of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer #3) by Michelle Hodkin
(I would love the last book in the series, I need to binge read this series!)

Princess of thorns, A darker shade of magic and The winner's crime are also welcome in my home. I especially need a copy from the first one, because fairytaaaaale. Scarlet is a great pick Ashley, it's such a good series :)

I got a sample (the first 5 chapters) of A Darker Shade of Magic but I'm afraid to start reading it. I know it's going to be good and I'm going to be mad I don't have to whole thing! I wouldn't mind finding Princess of Thorns or Inspire under my tree! Great list, I hope you get some of them!

I need a copy of Code Name Verity too! I just listened to the audiobook (which still was fabulous), but I actually want to read it again!

SO PSYCHED to see Scarlet on Ashley's list...it is sooooo good! I'm reading Inspire now and really liking it!

Seeing Princess of Thorns on Nicole's list makes me super happy as well, since I loved that one!

I bought Princess of Thorns for my shelf last week and it's just so pretty! I love that book so much. <3
I asked for Scarlet, too, and plan on binging that series once book 3 is out.
The Orphan Queen and The Winner's Crime will probably kill me but I'm excited for them.
Highly recommend Inspire - I loved it SO much!

Merry Christmas!!! <3

Nicole: Darker Shade of Magic…can't wait to read that one, it sounds soooo good! And Golden Son too.

Ashley: Mara Dyer!!!!! What a great series. You should read it soon. I've been participating in discussion threads on Goodreads about the last one because I just had to talk to people about it!!!
