Top Ten Books on my Spring List

Still Step 1 studying and studying for my (hopefully) last exam of M2 year (on Friday)...wish me luck!!  This week's Top Ten Tuesday is (one day late): Ten Books on my Spring 2014 To Be Read List.  My Spring TBRs probably won't be read until Summer time, but it's still fun to think about!  I need something to look forward to.  I got some of these from participants in last week's Top Ten bloghop, yay!

1. Better by Atul Gawande.  
I've read this cover-to-cover at least three times, but I think it'll be a good motivating read before 3rd year, so it's probably going to be the first book I pick up post-Step.

2. The Fault in our Stars by John Green
As seen on Beauty and the Bookshelf.  I like to read books before I see the movie, and I really want to see the movie.  I'm hearing good things, so I'm excited to read the book and immediately watch the movie afterwards. 

3. Divergent Series by Veronica Roth 
As seen on Fortune Favors the Brave  See above.  Same girl in both movies.  I don't know very much about her, but I hear she's this year's Jennifer Lawrence (I loved The Hunger Games).

4. The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey
I started reading this over Thanksgiving break, but then got too caught up with school, so I'm only about 100 pages in, it's good, but not addicting, so that's why I'm going to read 2 and 3 first.

5. A Passage to India by E.M. Forster  
I started reading this before college, but didn't get very far and then I got distracted by other books.

6. Dead Souls by Nikolai Gogol 
 I bought this one and Swann's Way in college sometime, but I've never had the time to read them.  They're both books that Professors recommended to me, and I think I'm always too intellectually exhausted when I have time to read, that I just want brain candy, but I do want to read these two!

7. Swann's Way by Marcel Proust  

8. The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

9. Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle 

10. The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson


Have you read any of these?  What did you think?  What are you top books to read this spring/summer?  Do you have any more recommendations for me?
