Usually, I begin the titles of these with “Top Ten.” But I couldn’t for today’s topic that the ladies over at The Broke and the Bookish picked for this week, because I have a ridiculous amount of 2015 new releases I meant to get to and didn’t! I managed to knock it down to twelve, but let me tell you – this list started at thirty. So, without furthur ado. π
1. A Love Like Ours by Becky Wade – This was one of my most-anticipated 2015 releases, because I adored Meant to Be Mine (the second book) and one of the quotes from my book review made it on the back cover of this pretty! I pre-ordered it on Amazon, but when I received it timing was terrible because I had other review copies to finish.

2. The Wonder of You by Susan May Warren –Β I love the Christiansen family so this is top priority!
Goodreads | Amazon
3. Pretty Wanted by Elisa Ludwig – Another continuation of a series. I read the first and second (enjoyed but didn’t love) and this is the last and final book in this trilogy. I really should just finish it!

4. Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard – A popular YA I’ve been dying to get to! Love fantasy and this books sounds ex-cit-ING!
Goodreads | Amazon
5. The Sound of Diamonds by Rachelle Rea – I heard great things about this debut author around the interweb. I need to get it already!
Goodreads | Amazon
6. A Wicked Thing by Rhiannon Thomas – Fairytale-esque books are the BEST!! This Sleeping Beauty spinoff sounds like a winner and I’ve been wanting to grab it for so long.

7. Hostage Run by Andrew Klavan – I read Mindwar (#1) and enjoyed the fast paced action. Been meaning to read this second book!
Goodreads | Amazon
8. All Fall Down by Ally Carter – Ally Carter’s Gallagher Girls and Heist Society series are so darn good. Can’t believe I haven’t checked out her latest series!
Goodreads | Amazon
9. From the Start by Melissa Tagg – Melissa Tagg is one of those authors I hear about ALL the time, especially from my fellow book bloggers. I still cannot believe that I haven’t read anything from her…especially this book!!
Goodreads | Amazon
10. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins – This is a bestseller, and while I usually don’t read books like this (I tend to stick to YA and ChrisFic) this one sounds AMAZING! Must. Read.

11. Married ’til Monday by Denise Hunter – Love, love, love, love Denise Hunter’s Chapel Springs series!!!! Why haven’t I read the latest installment yet? Because I stink. π
Goodreads | Amazon
12. Invaded by Melissa Landers – Another sequel of a book that I really loved!! Alienated was so great. I gotta read this second novel ASAP.

So, those are my top 2015 book releases I meant to read but didn’t! Your turn – what are yours? Thanks for visiting Will Bake for Books! β₯
Sarah says
That’s a nice selection of books you have there! Do you think you’ll read them in 2016? π I have so many books I’d like to read that I don’t think I could possibly narrow them down to 12! :/ BTW, I’ve sent you a friend request on Goodreads. π I only just joined, but if you see my to-read list, you’ll get the idea! XD
Bekah says
Thanks, Sarah!! Haha, great question…I sure hope so! But knowing me, maybe I’ll get to half of them. *shrugs* Right?! It’s SO hard!! I was like, this is impossible! π So cool! I accepted your Goodreads friend request as soon as I saw it. I’ll have to check out your TBR – I’d love to see what’s on it. Thanks (as always) for visiting my blog. I really appreciate all the support! π Heading over to your blog now. π

I loved Wade’s, Warren’s and Tagg’s books. I definitely want to read Ally Carter’s new series but I haven’t even read the first one yet. thanks for sharing Bekah!
Bekah says
Oo, really?! Awesome!! After making this list and hearing you loved them, I’m definitely inspired to pick them up and finally just READ THEM. π Lol! And Gallagher Girls is definitely worth a try – I remember I was so obsessed with every new release haha. Thank YOU so much for visiting my blog, Kaylee!!
Grace says
Nice list, Bekah! I didn’t get to “From the Start” in 2015, either, thought I wanted to. I’m curious about “Red Queen” and the hype it gets, but I’ve not read it. Maybe I’ll give it a read in 2016.

Bekah says
Grace!! It’s been a while! Heading over to you blog as soon as I’m done replying. π Thanks so much. I’ve heard From the Start is really good – maybe we’ll both get to it this year! Fingers crossed. π I’m super curious about Red Queen as well…it definitely sounds like it could be SO good, but you never know. Anyways, thanks for visiting my blog!! π
Mia says
All of these sound really good! Hopefully we’ll both get to read these in 2016 π Love you<3
Bekah says
Thanks, Mia! I *really* hope so too – it would be fun to read these at the same time and discuss. π Love you too!
Rissi says
These all look like great releases, Bekah. Some I did read and loved, others are among books I still want to read as well. We’ll both have to try, and get to them in 2016. πππ
Bekah says
Cool, Rissi! Glad you got to read some of these. I saw your Goodreads year “recap” and was super impressed by all the great reads you got to last year!! Yes, definitely. Fingers crossed that we knock those TBR’s out of the park this year. π Thanks for stopping by.
