TTT | Backlist Books I Want to Read

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog! I'm Genni, and today I'm going to be joining in on Top Ten Tuesday, or TTT. TTT is a weekly meme hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is, "Backlist Books I Want to Read." In case you don't know, backlist books are older books avaiable from a publisher, rather than newer releases, that are sometimes referred to as the frontlist.

 There are a ton of backlist books I want to read, but here are ten that I am eager to read, in no particular order!
10) Gone by Michael Grant
Michael Grant's seven (?) book long series is so well known in the YA community. As an avid YA reader, I feel like I should give this one a look! 



9) Parable of the Sower by Octavia E. Butler
I read Butler's Kindred last year, and absolutely loved it. I watched an operatic musical of this book, and thought it was great. So now I just need to actually read the book! 

8) Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn
I don't know how I did it, but I managed not to be spoiled about this, except for some minor things. I definitely want to read and watch the movie, but this isn't a priority right now. One day!


7) Compulsion by Martina Boone
I put this on every single TBR for challenges, and I never get around to it. I read the first couple chapters a while back and really enjoyed myself, so hopefully I'll get to it soon. 

6) The Summer of Jordi Perez (And the Best Burger in Los Angeles) by Amy Spalding
We have a Latina protagonist who is overweight and gay? Umm...yes!! 

5) The Defiant by Lesley Livingston
I didn't love The Valiant, which is the first book in the series, but I liked it a lot. I never got around to the sequel, but I'm still interested. 

4) The Coincidence of Coconut Cake by Amy E. Reichert

This is probably the book I'll get to first. It's available on Scribd, which I pay for, so I know I'll get around to it. In fact, I might start this one this week!


3) Poison's Kiss by Breeana Shields

I didn't hear much hype for Poison's Kiss, but I loved the premise. I'm all for some strained love! When your kiss kills, politics and romance can both get pretty messy. 

2) Flashfall by Jenny Moyer
Flashfall is a YA sci fi that got really great reviews. I used to read sci-fi more than I do now, but I really want to get back into the genre! 

1) Map of Fates by Maggie Hall
Map of Fates is the sequel to The Conspiracy of Us, which I read a couple of years ago and really enjoyed. And then I didn't read the sequel, and now I'm not too sure if I will even remember anything. Nevertheless, I want to finish the series one day, and that starts with Map of Fates.


And those are ten backlist books I want to read! Do we have any books in common? What are some backlist books you want to read?

Thank you so much for stopping by and I'll see you soon!

Happy Reading!
