10 Good Things on a Monday: Ten Books I Must Read Pronto!

10 Good Things on a Monday is a weekly feature  I am doing dedicated to every person's compulsive list-writing.  Every Monday we are going to make a list of 10 things that will cheer us up and help tide us over the whole week.

Here's how it works:

1. Think of a particular group of good things you want to make a list on, does not necessarily have to be about books, e.g. your current book wish list, or your favorite book foods (you know, foods you love to eat while reading, if you're like me), or your favorite girly names, whatever you can think of, as long as it makes you feel good.
2. If you have no ideas for a list, you can always visit my blog post to check out my theme for that week and you can take a cue from my list.
3. Post your list on your blog, grab that cute ARGH button above and put it on your post too, so we'd know you're doing this meme.
4. Leave the link for your post on my own 10 Good Things post for the week, if you see others doing it, comment too and let's share our good things with everybody.
5. Everybody goes through the whole week happy!

My 10 Good Things for this week:  Ten Books I Must Read Pronto!

I know, I already featured my book wish list here before, but as time passes, the wish list changes as I already get the books I want and find new ones to crush on. 

So here you go:

1.  Hate List by Jennifer Brown - I kept saying that I would love to read this book but I can't seem to find a copy in bookstores around my area.  Will try to widen my search :D

 2.  Hold Still by Nina LaCour - I was thinking of reading Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher when I suddenly came upon this book.  I would like to read both of them and compare them with each other.

3.  One Day by David Nicholls - I am a fan of unique story presentations, and telling us the story of what happens between two people through showing us what happened to them to that particular day every year seem cool.  I would really like to see how the author pulls it off.

 

4.  The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan - What can I say?  I am a fan of David Levithan therefore I should get to read this book.  Period.

5.  The Big Crunch by Pete Hautman - I actually learned about this book through David Levithan's Facebook fan page.  I looked it up and was intrigued by the plot. 

6.  Killing Britney by Sean Olin - I like reading the occasional thrillers and killers so I would like to pick up a copy of this.  

7.  Where She Went by Gayle Forman - because I read If I Stay!

8.  Shades of Grey by Jasper Fforde - I'm not a big fan of dystopian and sci-fi novels but sometimes, there are books from those genres that just won't be ignored.  And that book cover looks awesome.

9.  The Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon - I read The Angel's Game and this is actually the first book that mentioned the Cemetery of Forgotten Books.  

10.  Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante - I read Still Alice by Lisa Genova and fell in love with it.  This is another book that uses Alzheimer's as part of the plot but with a very different approach.  So excited to read this!

What do you think?  Are these books good choices or should I sack some of them?  You can tell me what you think, even give me a few recommendations if you like.  Plus, if you would like me to read a review that you've written about any of the books mentioned, you can also tell me about it.

Have an awesome Monday!  What are your good things?
