Top Five Tuesday is hosted by Bionic Book Worm and this week I decided to use my extremely well-managed TBR. I am so proud of myself, I went through my Goodreads and carefully selected which books I for sure want to read in 2019 and savagely deleted while dying inside all of the books that didn’t make the cut.
It was extremely hardcore and I’m still shocked & exhilarated. I almost decided to blog about it, but it’s so sad to present all the poor neglected books. Maybe I’ll still do it, though, once I gather my courage to show you all how cruel and upsetting I truly ammmmm
it was such a bold reorganization that I’m now down to,,,,,,,,,,
///174 books///
❤
It was a big day for me and it was ((a little bit traumatic)) but at the same time it feels amazing because I’m one of those Organize Or Die humans.
And so here are my favorite book titles from my TBR ❤
I will instantly buy any book that includes the word “savage”
Two heirs to a divided city, Kate wants to be ruthless, August wants to be good. Also, it’s Victoria Schwab so this book already has my eternal respect and devotion
2. The Love That Split the World
I cherish love stories && this one SOUNDS SO INTENSE. It actually split the world and this makes me feel warm in my heart.
MY OWN DARLING EMMA MILLS IS PUBLISHING ANOTHER BOOK. SOUND ALL THE GIANT ALARMS.
I feel an all-consuming need to camp out in front of my local bookstore and wait for this patiently. Since the publishers refuse to send me an ARC, this is the only way I can think to pass the eternity which awaits me.
In sum, this title is amazing. I love things that are wholesomely ironic jhkjh
I don’t even need to know the premise. The dark and twisted idea of saints who are actually wicked?????
My evil soul is tremendously pleased.
(aLsO tHe CoVeR,,,,i feel as though I’m hallucinating the cover I’ve always wanted & needed)
So many people on Twitter have loved this.
&& I’m obsessed with references to fevers && kings.
what is your favorite book title?
are any of these on your TBR?
is anyone else in true distress while waiting for the new emma mills book?

The Love That Split the World sold me on Emily Henry. I loved the story and the writing, and her second book was even better.

This is a great list, and an interesting topic too. When it comes to books I’m always more drawn to the cover or the blurb but when I think about it there’s always something about the title that draws me in before either of those two things.
I have Wicked Saints on my TBR list as well, and I can’t wait for it to be released because it sounds amazing. Also any book with the word ‘Savage’ or ‘Wicked’ or anything like that in the title is an automatic add to my TBR list it seems like. 😀
Also The Love That Split the World is a favourite of mine, the story is just as intense as the title makes it sound. I’m sure you’ll love it too Malanie.
Again great post. 🙂 ❤

tysm Beth, oh god the cover is *SO IMPORTANT, I’m guilty of buying books for the cover alone, or if one of my favorites is published w a better cover i feel an overwhelming need to buy the new stuff XD so many people are dissuaded from reading The Foxhole Court bc of the cover and it’s a terrible tragedy sldkflsdk
+ ahhh yay now I’m sm more excited to read TLTSTW????!! it’s one that was rec’d to me and I want to love it with my entire heart c: c:

Oh I’ve done that once or twice, I’m weak for pretty covers, and it’s affected me the other way around too. I will admit to being one of the people dissuaded from The Foxhole Court at first but eventually the positive reviews I kept on seeing swayed me back again! 😀
I’ll be keeping my fingers tightly crossed that it lives up to the hype for you then. 🙂 ❤️
