Top 5 Books I can't Wait to Read


Note: Tope 5 Wednesday is a group on Goodreads. If you are interested in joining you can check it out here. 

     I suppose these are the books I am so excited about that I cannot hardly get to them fast enough. If only I could read multiple books at once *sigh*.  Once, I tried listening to an audiobook while reading a paperback at the same time. I don’t recommend it though. 


The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess Volume 5

      We got snowed in on New Year’s so I binge read my younger brother’s collection of the Twilight Princess manga. This does not even have its cover revealed yet, and I already cannot wait to get my hands on it.  I have played the game this manga is based on so I do know how it ends, but I still need to see the direction the writers take this story in. GAH!!!!!!! 

Just Ella 
     Words cannot describe how long I have been searching for this book. It wasn’t at my local library or my school library, and it is definitely not at my university’s library. I couldn’t find it at any bookstore, and I never looked for it online because I didn’t think to do so. *insert blushing emoji here* Recently, I discovered a copy of Just Ella while restocking the book shelf at a thrift store I volunteer at. Now that I have it in my hands I see it’s a relatively small book so I don’t think it would take me to long to read it. 



The Rose and Dagger

       I almost finished The Wrath and the Dawn on a long-bus trip this past summer. Being the first in a duology, the ending of The Wrath and the Dawn left me wondering what was going on more than knowing. I was unable to read The Rose and Dagger until after the fall semester passed so I am looking forward to reading this one now that I finally have time. At last, I will have my answers!!!


Heartless
     Marissa Meyer wrote The Lunar Chronicles, one of my favorite book series of all time. I would read that woman’s grocery list. Although I have not exactly heard glowing things about Heartless, I know I will at least enjoy its writing even if I get infuriated with the main character which, apparently, happened to many reviewers. However, I might end up loving the main character so I need to read Heartless to know for certain. Just because other people had problems with it, does not mean I will. 





The Return of Sir Percival
      When I was in middle school I had to read about the knights of the round table in English class. Although I was forced to read it for school, I became obsessed with the world of Camelot! I wrote fanfiction about it before I even knew what fanfiction was. However, in high school, my interest in King Arthur lulled. I blame it on most of the retellings I have read/watched as most retold the story of how Arthur became king over and over again. I eventually grew a little board with this formula. Fast forward a few years, and I discover a book titled The Return of Sir Percival, and I realize not only is this story about my favorite knight, but it also takes place after the fall of Camelot. I have never seen a retelling like this one and I am so excited to see how this book handles the King Arthur Mythos.
