A Countdown of
The 5 Books You Want to Read Before 2015 Ends
5. Daughter of the Forest (Sevenwaters #1) by Juliet Marillier
I've heard ridiculously good things about this fantasy book, and yet it still languishes on my shelf, untouched. If I do manage to finish some more fantasy books before 2015 ends, this is one of the ones I want to read.
4. Out by Natsuo Kirino
I mostly want to read this one since it is a step outside my comfort zone genre-wise, and it's set in Japan by a Japanese author. Since I harbor feelings of great affection for my previous impromptu thriller choice, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, I'm hoping this might re-inspire my adventurous book choices (that don't stick to authors and plotlines I love the most).
3. The Mirror Empire (Worldbreaker Saga #1) by Kameron Hurley
I'm still holding out hope that I *might* finish this one, even though I don't typically go for chunkier books at the end of the year.
2. The Greenlanders by Jane Smiley
This is another chunkier book I was planning to read this year. I'm not sure I'll be able to finish it, but I'd at least like to give it another try before 2015 ends.
1. Oryx and Crake (MaddAddam #1) by Margaret Atwood
Although I have read a Margaret Atwood already this year, I've been meaning to get to this one as I have the first two books in the series. Also, she's one of my favorite authors, and reading my favorite authors' works tends to put me in a more 'reading' mood than I've been in lately.
A book I've kind of given up on (for now) that was on a previous SFF list of books I wanted to read in 2015:
The Queen of the Tearling (The Queen of the Tearling #1) by Erika Johansen
I've read the beginning of this one twice now, and can't get past a certain point. I'm hoping that the passing of time will make me fonder of this book whenever I pick it up again.
