Top Ten Books On My Spring 2013 TBR list!

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and The Bookish.  It feels a bit ridiculous writing a Spring TBR list when there's snow outside (not to mention the fact that my fingers can barely type because they're frozen) but I suppose that's just how British weather works.  At least it's super sunny...

1. Pantomime - Laura Lam

2. Zenn Scarlett - Christian Schoon
 
3. Peregrine Harker and The Black Death - Luke Holland
 
4. Insurgent - Veronica Roth
 
5. Cursed - Benedict Jacka
 
6. Level 2 - Lenore Appelhans
 
7. John Dies at the End - David Wong
 
8. American Gods - Neil Gaiman
 
9. Sever - Lauren DeStefano
 
10. Days of Blood and Starlight - Lani Taylor
 
 
Who's on your list this week?  Any new spring releases you can recommend to me?

New Acquisitions

Ordered some books with my birthday vouchers at the weekend, and they arrived in the post today.  I love post!  Especially when it isn't a bank statement that tells me I have no money at all or my student loan statement that tells me I owe a lot of money to the man.

Fated and Cursed, both by Benedict Jacka, are supposed to be written in the same vein as Rivers of London and The Dresden Files so I'm assuming I may fall in love with them. 
  My risky choice is Chris F. Holm's Dead Harvest.  The blurb describes it as 'a stunning mix of urban fantasy and noir-dark crime' which is something a bit different for me, but what really hooked me was the cover.  It is beautiful, and I am a very shallow book reader.
  Will report back at a later date as to how all three fared reading wise...
