Top Ten Tuesday: Ten 2014 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn't Get To

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

There were so many amazing books released in 2014, many of which I anxiously awaited and pre-ordered. Of course, try as I might, I can't read every book. There are always a few that I really wanted to read but just never got around to, which brings me to this week's Top Ten topic, "Ten 2014 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn't Get To". I was really looking forward to reading all of these books, some I even chose to feature in Waiting on Wednesday posts. Hopefully, I'll get around to reading these soon.

So, here they are, ten books I meant to read in 2014:

As you can see, I bought them all and had every intention of reading them.

Let's go through them one at a time...

Afterworlds by Scott Westerfeld

I think the sheer size of this book is what made me put off reading it. 

Atlantia by Ally Condie

I was looking forward to this all year, I even pre-ordered it! I'm sure I could even read it in a day! I really need to set a day aside for it.

The Kiss of Deception by Mary E. Pearson

This one taunts me. I hear so many wonderful things about it. I wish I had made time for it. 

The Walled City by Ryan Graudin

This book sounded so cool and so fun! I'm hoping to finally get started reading it soon. I had to have it right away, but for some unknown reason I never got to it. I wonder what distracted me?

Mortal Danger by Ann Aguirre

I really, really meant to read this. You can't go wrong with books about Faustian bargains.

The Young Elites by Marie Lu

I have no idea why I haven't read this yet. I feel kind of ashamed that I missed it last year.

Love is the Drug by Alaya Dawn Johnson

I picked this thriller as a my Waiting on Wedensday a while back. Well, I waited, I bought and I...didn't get around to reading it. This makes me sad.

Extraction by Stephanie Diaz

I seriously almost started reading this at least ten times but I got distracted or I had to read other books for review or who knows what happened. I now have the second book, so I should probably get moving and read this.

Talon by Julie Kagawa

Another book I waited anxiously for that I never got to read. It's a big one, too. I fail.

Sweet Unrest by Lisa Maxwell

I was looking forward to the spooky Voodoo that this book promised. I made it a Waiting on Wednesday and was so excited to finally get it. I tried to read it, but at the end of the year things got kind of crazy. I will be reading it soon. Really.

Have you read any of these?

Which ones should I move to the top of my tbr pile? 

What books did you miss in 2014?
