We divided this one up between each other and it was honestly hard to pare it down to five books each. But we managed somehow.
As always, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl for this Top Ten Tuesday!
Indi’s Top Five:
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
I’ve heard so much about this one and the premise sounds unlike anything I’ve read.
The Doldrums and the Helmsley Curse by Nicholas Gannon
I recently read the first in this series and I’m just excited to dive into the second.
The Master and Margarita by Mikhail Bulgakov
This one is a classic that I’ve been meaning to read for a few years now. From what I hear, it’s as creepily complicated as they come!
The Secret Lives of Color by Kassia Clare
I love fashion history and art history and this book is a little compilation of both. As the title indicates, it’s all about the histories of many of the colors we love to love and love to hate today and how they came to be.
A Reaper at the Gates by Sabaa Tahir
I’m not sure this one even needs an explanation. It’s the third book in the Ember in the Ashes series and if it’s as good as the first two I’ll be overjoyed (though I expect it’ll be even better).
Pete’s Top Five:
The Arm of the Sphinx by Josiah Bancroft
Even though I have only read the first book in the Books of Babel series, I often say that Thomas Senlin is one of my favorite characters. I’m looking forward to continuing his journey up the Tower of Babel.
King’s Shield by Sherwood Smith
I was floored by the pace and depth of The Fox. I can’t wait to continue Inda’s adventures in this book.
Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi
This sounds like it will be one of the year’s biggest books. Also, what an amazing cover.
Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erikson
I’ve heard so much about this one, both good and bad. But I know that no matter what, it will be interesting and intricate!
Rocannon’s World by Ursula K. Le Guin
Le Guin’s debut novel and the first book in her Hainish Cycle. It will be interesting to read something more sci-fi from one of my favorite fantasy authors.
Children of Blood and Bone looks really good and unusual! I can’t find the time to read all the book I want to! Too many out there! I hope you enjoy all of these! 🙂

I still haven’t read the first Bancroft book but I’m hoping to get to it soon so I hope the second one is a great read.
Enjoy your Spring reads.
