This weeks Top Ten Tuesday topic hosted by Broke and Bookish is Top Ten 2015 Releases I Meant To Get To But Didn’t. There were so many books that came out in 2015 that I was so excited for but never got around to. That is going to make catching up on reading this year so much harder. This will probably look much like my top ten most anticipated 2015 release
♦ An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir
♦ Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard
♦ Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
♦ The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
♦ The Orphan Queen by Jodi Meadows
♦ Magonia by Maria Dahvana Headley
♦ The Bourbon Kings by J.R Ward
♦ A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E Schwab
♦ Soundless by Richelle Mead
♦ The Glass Arrow by Kristen Simmons
What 2015 releases did you not get to?

Okay scrolling through your list I was like OMG. OMG. OMG. OMG. There are so many fantastic books on this list you need to get to!!! Haha!
Red Queen has such a Hunger Games slash The Grisha series vibe – but some how it just works so well! Instead of having you rolling your eyes at the rip off!
Six of Crows is actually a gift from the book gods SO YOU BETTER READ IT haha!
The Wrath and The Dawn is somehow so messed up and romantic At. The. Same. Time. Don’t ask me how it works but it just does!
A Darker Shade of Magic is actually brilliant! Like the fantasy world building and characters just scream epic high fantasy. I’m so excited for the sequel that’s out next month! I have a feeling it might be even better!
I was so excited for The Glass Arrow, and I was loving it for pretty much the entire way through but the ending it actually horrible. Like, shocking bad. And it kind of turned me off the whole book.
I can’t believe I haven’t read An Ember in the Ashes or Soundless either! I was so excited for them but then I just never got to them! I totally plan to read AEITA before the sequel comes out this year though!
You are making me even more excited to pick up the books!!!
Do it!!! I can’t wait to here what you think of them 🙂
Still need to read Red Queen and I totally forgot about the Bourbon series. Will add that to TBR now
Ah An Ember in the Ashes, Magonia and A Darker Shade of Magic are on my list too! 😬
I really hate that I haven’t read ADSAM
Great list! Six of Crows will probably make it onto my TTT as well, but it’s so difficult to narrow it down to 10. I am ashamed to say that I missed way more books than I would like to admit. If you ever get to Red Queen and A Darker Shade of Magic though, I hope you will love them as much as I did!
I was absolutely awful with picking up 2015 releases, I feel like I got to none of them at all. So, of course, we had many similarities 🙂 I also didn’t get to An Ember in the Ashes and that was one of my most anticipated releases of 2015. Much shame. I forgot to mention A Darker Shade of Magic in my post but that’s definitely one of the top regrets too! I can say that Red Queen was a very good book in my opinion. Hope you enjoy!
I have been hearing that a lot with Red Queen. You either love it or you hate it there is no in between.
Yes, definitely. Luckily I was on the loving side. Just go in clear minded!
So many of these books are also on my TBR list… AHHH. So many books to catch up on! I definitely recommend A Darker Shade of Magic… that’s one book that I actually did read in 2015 haha. It’s so good!
Great list! 🙂
Half this list pretty much encompasses mine, which makes me wonder what 2015 releases I actually DID read, lol! I did read and love A Darker Shade of Magic 😀
So many good books here! ADSOM, The Wrath and the Dawn, Magonia! I hope you get to read those soon! I’ve also got Six of Crows and An Ember in the Ashes on my list too. 🙂 My TTT!
I really liked Red Queen and Six of Crows. I hope you enjoy them!
YOU MUST READ AN EMBER IN THE ASHES YOU MUST YOU MUST YOU MUST!
I could list all the reasons why, but since I’m sure you have a life and friends and things to do, I’ll spare you the rant.
The Wrath and the Dawn is really great too! The whole set in the Middle East thing was really cool to me.
An Ember in the Ashes is definitely at the top of my list! I have only heard amazing things!
Red Queen and A Darker Shade of Magic were both on my list this week too!

So many books I haven’t got to yet. I need to read An Ember in the Ashes, Six of Crows and A Darker Shade of Magic. I’ve heard really good things about The Orphan Queen, but I’m not so sure about The Wrath and the Dawn. I’ve heard it’s kind of instalovey.
I totally get you on Six of Crows, The Wrath and the Dawn, A Darker Shade of Magic, The Orphan Queen, and the Red Queen — I’m on the same page! But I’m super glad I made it to An Ember in the Ashes — an amazing 2015 debut I highly recommend! ~Gwen.
