2015 I started this blog and I'm happy about how far I've come already, so thank you for that.
I know that these won't be all books I'm going to read this year but it's the plan so far. Bear with me here.
1. "Throne of Glass" by Sarah J. Maas
See my last blogpost about it here: http://bookstain3.blogspot.de/2015/10/my-tbr-shelf-4_31.html
2. "A Game of Thrones (A Song of Ice and Fire #1)" by George R.R. Martin
Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun.
As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must … and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty.
The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne. (source: goodreads)
Basic, I know. I'm a huge fan of the TV-Series so I feel like i have to at least read the first book. Only problem, it's HUGE. Gonna need a lot of time there.
3. "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon
The year is 1945. Claire Randall, a former combat nurse, is just back from the war and reunited with her husband on a second honeymoon when she walks through a standing stone in one of the ancient circles that dot the British Isles. Suddenly she is a Sassenach—an “outlander”—in a Scotland torn by war and raiding border clans in the year of Our Lord...1743.
Hurled back in time by forces she cannot understand, Claire is catapulted into the intrigues of lairds and spies that may threaten her life, and shatter her heart. For here James Fraser, a gallant young Scots warrior, shows her a love so absolute that Claire becomes a woman torn between fidelity and desire—and between two vastly different men in two irreconcilable lives.

It's my moms favourite book series and my favourite booktubers (Sasha Alsberg/ abookutopia, go check her out!) so maybe I'll like it too. I'm not a huge fan of historical fiction but I will try this series.
4 & 5. "Rivers of London (Peter Grant #1)" by Ben Aaronvitch and "Sophie's World" by Jostein Gaarder
Check out this post to see what they're about: http://bookstain3.blogspot.de/2015/06/my-summer-holiday-reading-list.html
I know I should have already read them but new books came and I guess you know the struggle.
6. "Half Bad (The Half Bad Trilogy #1)" by Sally Green
Wanted by no one.
Hunted by everyone.
Sixteen-year-old Nathan lives in a cage: beaten, shackled, trained to kill. In a modern-day England where two warring factions of witches live amongst humans, Nathan is an abomination, the illegitimate son of the world's most terrifying and violent witch, Marcus. Nathan's only hope for survival is to escape his captors, track down Marcus, and receive the three gifts that will bring him into his own magical powers—before it's too late. But how can Nathan find his father when there is no one safe to trust, not even family, not even the girl he loves? (source: goodreads)

It's waiting in my shelf for about half a year now and I'm really excited about this book, don't get me wrong, I'm just more excited about other books. As always.
7. "Poison Princess (The Arcana chronicles #1)" by Kresley Cole
She could save the world—or destroy it.
Sixteen-year-old Evangeline "Evie" Greene leads a charmed life, until she begins experiencing horrifying hallucinations. When an apocalyptic event decimates her Louisiana hometown, Evie realizes her hallucinations were actually visions of the future—and they're still happening. Fighting for her life and desperate for answers, she must turn to her wrong-side-of-the-bayou classmate: Jack Deveaux.
But she can't do either alone.
With his mile-long rap sheet, wicked grin, and bad attitude, Jack is like no boy Evie has ever known. Even though he once scorned her and everything she represented, he agrees to protect Evie on her quest. She knows she can't totally depend on Jack. If he ever cast that wicked grin her way, could she possibly resist him?
Who can Evie trust?
As Jack and Evie race to find the source of her visions, they meet others who have gotten the same call. An ancient prophesy is being played out, and Evie is not the only one with special powers. A group of twenty-two teens has been chosen to reenact the ultimate battle between good and evil. But it's not always clear who is on which side. (source: goodreads)

One year it's on my shelf. That's all I'm going to say.
8. "To kill a Mockingbird" by Harper Lee
To Kill a Mockingbird is primarily a novel about growing up under extraordinary circumstances in the 1930s in the Southern United States. The story covers a span of three years, during which the main characters undergo significant changes. Scout Finch lives with her brother Jem and their father Atticus in the fictitious town of Maycomb, Alabama. Maycomb is a small, close-knit town, and every family has its social station depending on where they live, who their parents are, and how long their ancestors have lived in Maycomb.

It's so hard to find a summary about this book. I'm still not sure what this book is about but, oh well, still going to read it.
These books are just on my top shelf, so this is just the beginning. Yay!
Love,
