Top Books on my Spring TBR

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and now lives at That Artsy Reader Girl.




I've already talked about my March TBR, to be found here if you're interested, but as I am off for two weeks at Easter as well as going on a study trip to Poland and Germany, I'm going to get a lot of reading done - and not all of it set texts!


University
1 - The Third Man by Graham Greene
2 - Wormwood by Poppy Z Brite
3 - And the Ass Saw the Angel by Nick Cave


Pleasure
4 - Obsidio by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
5 - Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by Gail Honeyman
6 - Scythe by Neal Shusterman
7 - The Exact Opposite of Okay by Laura Steven
8 - Sam and Ilsa's Last Hurrah by Rachel Cohn and Daivd Levithan
9 - Moxie by Jennifer Mathieu
10 - Genuine Fraud by E Lockhart




Obviously if I can get ahead of my university reading then I will prioritise that but while I have time off, I'm going to catch up on my TBR. Plus I'm only taking my kindle on my trip so can finally catch up on the e-books I've been collecting for months!


Let me know what's on your Spring-time TBR or if there's any books you're waiting for!

March TBR

To make up for a ridiculous absence, here is my very boring TBR for the month of March which is, of course, all university books because I don't have room in my head or my life for anything else!


Currently Reading: Zombie Apocalypse! by Stephen Jones


To read and be studied in March:
The Devil Rides Out by Dennis Wheatley
Fat White Vampire Blues by Andrew Fox
Pig Island by Mo Hayder
Rosanna by Maj Sjowall and Per Wahloo
The Buenos Aires Quintet by Manuel Vazquez Montalban


It might not look like a lot for one month - normally, five books in one month is easy for me - but because of the content and the writing styles, it takes a lot more of my brain power to concentrate and way more will power to pick them up in the first place!


Anyway, if you're interested, I'm reading The Devil Rides Out and comparing it to the film of the same title; Vampire Blues and Pig Island we will be looking at the deviant body; and the last two are for Latin-American crime. Oh, and my current read and my last read, World War Z, is for the Gothic body of zombies and apocalyptic fictions. I do love my course, even though the amount of reading is stressing me out at the moment.
