My teaser comes from the book:

ONYX by Jennifer L. Armentrout 

I lowered my lashes before he could see that rush of fresh tears that burned my eyes. Great. I was the biggest asshat alive. This whole time I'd kept throwing the alien connection in Daemons face and it hadn't been what propelling him.

This week's Top Ten is: 

Top Ten Five Most Anticipated Releases for the Rest of 2015

1. Winter by Marissa Meyer - This book comes out 5 days after my Birthday! *hint hint* LOL 

I am so excited to be able to read the next book in the Lunar Chronicles series and see what happens next! Anyone with me on this?!

2. Every Last Breath by Jennifer L. Armentrout - I am such a HUGE fan of Jennifer L. Armentrout (J. Lynn) This series is one of the best books ever. I like loveandwanthimtohavemybabies Roth! This series is amazing and if any of you have not yet read it, please do, like now! ;)

3. What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler - I am big into YA mysteries as some of you may know and this one sounds like such an outstanding read. I can't wait! 

4. The Iron Warrior by Julie Kagawa - This book is by far the most anticipated book of 2015 for me. I pretty much died at the end of the The Iron Traitor. I'm such an ugly crier. Thanks, Julie! XD I can't wait to find out what happens next! 

5. Menagerie by Rachel Vincent - A new book by Rachel Vincent? SIGH ME UP! Rachel's soul screamers series is what got me back into reading again 6 years ago. She's a wonderful author and one of my favorites of course. Menagerie sound amazing! I can't wait to read it come September.

I know I didn't do ten books this time, but I have a lot to do today so I'm kind of in a hurry. *blushes* Next time I will do all 10, promise! ;) What do you all think of the ones I did choose? Are there any you agree with me on?

My teaser comes from the book: 

Stay With Me by J. Lynn

One side of his lips tipped up. "Yeah, I'm really looking forward to that date on Sunday."

What the what? If I recalled correctly, I hadn't agreed to the date. He let go, his hands sliding off my neck, leaving a trail of shivers in their wake. 

Goodness, he'd just kissed my forehead again.

My teaser comes from the book: 

The Wicked Will Rise by Danielle Paige

It was no use. The birds were on top of us before I could summon more than the tiniest flame. They screeched madly and circled over our heads, their big black wings blocking out the sun, and then they dove for us.

Top Ten Tuesday #27+ Teaser Tuesday #54 ( Sisters' Fate )

It's been a while since I've done a Top Ten Tuesday, sadly. I love this weeks theme so I decided to join in. I will say my ten choices are going to be an extremely (and maybe even crazy) mixed up group. ;) haha! 

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This meme was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists! 

This week's Top Ten is: 

Top Ten Book Characters That Would Be Sitting At My Lunch Table

1.  Anna from Anna and The French Kiss: She is so sweet, upbeat and downright totally awesome. I could see her being one of my closest friends at the table. 
2. Étienne St. Clair from Anna and The French Kiss (who saw this one coming?!) He of course would be there since, well, since he's AWESOME (and sexy as hell! - Shh, don't tell Anna I said that.) Sitting right next to Anna. :)
3. Robin Goodfellow aka Puck from The Iron Fey series. I love a man who can make me laugh, and who is definitely eye candy. I think we could get along famously. 
4. Kaylee from The Soul Screamers series. I can just see myself being a really good friend with her. She's loyal and brave. Besides having an epic power, she comes across as being helpful and selfless.
5. Roth from White Hot Kiss. Why? Because we would be dating and in love. Nuff' said. :) (hey a girl can dream right?? RIGHT?! ) 
6. Scarlet from The Lunar Chronicles. She's a totally wicked cool chick. I think she would be right next to Kaylee at the table. They both would fight for the ones they love. Also, she would bring food to share. ;)
7. Katarina Bishop from the Heist Society series. Kat would be great for sneaking us some free food or even figuring out a way to cut next period without getting caught. 
8. Patch Cipriano from the Hush, Hush series. Patch would be the protector and a watchful eye, so the group would be safe. He also being an Fallen Angel and drop dead sexy would fit in perfectly. (that's my reasons, and I sticking to them) :-P
9. +  10. Eleanor & Park from Eleanor & Park. (haha) They both would add such diversity to the group. I could see them both being close friends with me as well as Roth, Anna, and St. Clair. 

there's my list and wow, what a fun group it is. ;) 

What do you all think of my choices?

My teaser comes from the book: 

Sisters' Fate (The Cahill Witch Chronicles #3) 
by Jessica Spotswood

"Are you a witch?" he asks.

I respect him all the more for coming straight out with it. I should lie to him. For his own good. I should, but I don't. "Yes," I say quietly. 

"But I'm not the one who erased your memory. I swear it."

He leans forward, squinting. "How do you know my memory been erased, then?"
