Top Ten Tuesday: Anticipated Reads For Late 2015

This feature is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

Hi guys, 

I wasn't going to do this week's TTT, but then I saw the topic for it. Then I knew I had to do it. I love lists and I love talking about books that I'm excited about.

I decided to do ten books that I already have ARCs/e-ARCs for and then ten books I do not have ARCs/e-ARCs of.
