Top Ten Books I Wouldn’t Mind Santa Bringing This Year

Can’t believe it’s just one day until Christmas! Where did December go, I’m not even close getting ready for the holidays.

This year been all about doing something new and different, I went a bit crazy and got myself a Christmas tree, first one ever! Now I just have to fill it with some nerdy things, right? 🙂

Well, don’t think I will get any books, to be honest I rarely do, but here is my wishing list:

1. Neil Gaiman Absolute Sandman edition, the entire series of the lovely Mr Gaimans Sandman in a really posh and luxury edition, no I wouldn’t mind that at all.
2. Leslie S. Klinger, Neil Gaiman The Annotated Sandman, Gaiman, Sandman, thoughts, pictures, interviews and a lot, lot more. How can I refuse that.
3. Neil Gaiman The Sleeper and the Spindle, I can’t get enough and well to be honest, if I don’t get it from Santa I will put it on my next-to-buy list.
4. Wizards of the Coast: Dungeons & Dragons Dungeon Master’s Guide, 5th edition, it will look so good besides all the other earlier editions.
5. Wizards of the Coast: Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual, a couple of friend and I have been talking about maybe, just maybe, start a new D&D campaign, so… Better be prepared (even if we actually are playing 4th) 😉
6. Mats Strandberg Engelsfors series.
7. Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodríguez Locke & Key Slipcase Set, OK like Sandman I already have all the volumes but I’m such a sucker for new edition with cool packing 😀
8. Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodríguez Locke & Key: Guide to the Known Keys, Key’s key’s key’s just love it, it’s on Kindle, so if Santa doesn’t bring it, well…
9. Ransom Riggs Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children series, think it’s about time to read this series.
10.Ransom Riggs, Cassandra Jean Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children: The Graphic Novel, well I do love a graphic novel or two.

Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Read In 2014

Think the year 2014 will be the year I went outside my comfort zone and tried new authors and in some way even new genres (at least sub-genres).
The ten that comes first to mind is as follows:

1. Jodie Meadows (Incarnate).
This year I stared with the wonderful, magical and almost poetic Incarnate and I fell love with Jodie Meadows beautiful writing. I read a couple of review on some book blogs and together with an awesome front cover I just had to give it a try.
2. A.G. Howard (Splintered).
This is another book with an awesome cover, and as it was a retelling of the classic Alice in wonderland, how could I possibly resist. It is truly a stunning, peculiar, odd and somewhat disturbed (in a good way) story!
3. Veronica Roth (Divergent)
I’ve sort of missed when everyone seemed to read all in the Divergent series, so I waited for the movie and then picked up the book, now the long wait for the Insurgent movie so I can read that book as well.
4. Dan Wells (Partials)
I can’t really remember what made me pick up this one, think I might have seen some recommendation on Goodreads. But I’m happy that I did, just love it. A post-apocalyptic world, walking in the ruins of NY, the human race at a threshold, survival and sacrifice, with conspiracy’s and a kick-ass female lead, can’t really go wrong with that.
5. Ramez Naam (Nexus)
Did some browsing at the local sci-fi shop, looking for something new and different to read, it’s been ages since I read a cyberpunk novel and this one really surprised me and in a good way.
6. Anne Greenwood Brown (Lies Beneath)
Never, ever I thought I would read a book about mermaids! I couldn’t imagine that I would like it as much as I did. Love this series!
7. Courtney Walker (On the fringe)
A ghost and YA love story, not my normal cup of tea, but I liked it, and it was a nice change of pace to read a standalone novel.
8. Michelle Hodkin (the Unbecomming of Mara Dyer)
There have been quite a mixed of reviews, both good ones and a lot of not so good. But the cover is so breathtaking and the book, well it wasn’t what I thought it would be, but I liked it.
9. Kimberly Derting (the Body Finder)
This one is one of those books just sitting on my to-read-list for what feelt like ages, why did it take so long for me to discover this charming paranormal YA series.
10. Heather Anastasiu (Glitch)
Besides a cool cover I liked the story, future dystopian society, sort of a young adult version of Georg Orwells 1984 mixed with the movie Equilibrium.
