- The Elite by Kiera Cass: Sequel to the Selection. I've read mixed reviews (even though it came out like a week ago?) so I want my own opinions
- Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell: Waaah I want to read this so badly. I'm taking John Green's advice and reading it. Let's hope it's good!
- Atonement by Ian McEwan: I've been carrying this book around in my backpack for three months and just haven't had time to read it (I really want to watch the movie but book before movie!)
- Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn: I stole this from my English teacher two months ago and haven't given it back yet (SORRY) so I should probs read it.
- Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen: okay this probably doesn't count because I've read it like four times in the past year, but I want to read it again. ahha.
- Persuasion by Jane Austen: AN AUSTEN I'VE YET TO READ. It's tragic, really.
- The Life of Pi by Yann Martel: 'Nough said.
- The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien: It's been years since I've last read this.
- Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling: It's been almost two years since I've read all of these books and now I'm going to college so I have to read them over again???
- Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger: I never had to read this for school which is extremely unfortunate considering how much I've wanted to
- Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi: Yay for dystopian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Under the Never Sky by Veronica Rossi: MORE DYSTOPIAN!
- The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood: My mom told me years ago to read this and I've ignored her. It looks amazing, though, so yes. Reading it.
- A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin: I know. I haven't read them and I'm watching the show. Don't judge me.
- Pure by Julianna Baggott: I just found this on goodreads earlier and GOOD LORD DO I WANT TO READ IT. Everyone says the world building is excellent (my pet peeve with dystopian novels) and it's slightly disturbing. My cup of tea!
- Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas: Kind of wary of this. There are a lot of reviews on goodreads which is a good sign, but the last time I read about a 'strong' female lead, she ended up disappointing me immensely (cough Defiance cough)
- Eon by Alison Goodman: Hannah Zimmerman read this when it came out and recommended it to me and NOW I'm going to read it. Finally.
- None of the novels by Cassandra Clare because I just really don't like her writing/books/reused ideas (see post)
