Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Quickly Save If My House Was Going to Be Abducted by Aliens

Have fun!

Top Ten Books I'd Quickly Save If My House Was Abducted by Aliens (or Blown Over by a Hurricane)
(In no particular order, though this is REALLY a hard choice)

I actually had to divide them into two sections because I have so many books that I haven't read. So I have my list of books I have read and want to save and my books I haven't read and want to save.  Don't worry, it still equals 10 books. ^_~

Books I Have Read


1. The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater
I only have one copy of this one whereas my beau (who lives in another state) has a copy of Shiver. So in a way, I'm able to have both and read them, too.


2. Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan
This book has become a bit of a treasure to me after reading it last November. I can't bear to go without it and it's small for a hardcover!


3. Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder
As my first book ready by Maria, I cannot leave without this one, especially since it's autographed!


4. Wolfsbane and Mistletoe edited by Charlaine Harris and Toni L.P. Kelner
If I have to save only one of my werewolf books, I would rather it be an anthology so I can enjoy multiple authors' works.


5. The Last Unicorn (Graphic Novel) by Peter S. Beagle & Peter Gillis
Yes, I had to save one of my graphic novels, and this one is just too pretty not to save.

Books I Have Yet to Read


1. Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
With all that I've heard about this series, I'm not about to leave it behind before I get the chance to read it.


2. Trial by Fire by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
Since I've already read the first book, Raised by Wolves, I have to know what's going to happen next especially with the release of the third book, Taken by Storm, coming soon this year.


3. Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs
It's Greek mythology, I must save at least ONE of those books! Especially sicne I haven't read it yet.


4. A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness
As the only book involving a librarian on my bookshelf, I have to save this massive one.


5. The Rose Chateau by Rebecca Monaco
I have to save this one because it's the first book my beau has bought for me. Sentimental value plus it is a take on Beauty and the Beast, my favorite fairytale.
