Top Ten Tuesday – Unread Books on My Shelves I Want to Read Soon

Top Ten Tuesday - Books Set in a School

Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.

This week’s theme is Top Ten Unread Books on My Shelves I Want to Read Soon. This topic was easy. lol. I have so many books on my shelves that I need to read. I’m always chasing after the new best things, which means many books get pushed off for months and years even though I really want to read them. I got back into reading as a hobby a little over three years ago, and many of these books go back to that time period. I hope to read them all soon(ish), but there are so many great books coming out this year, too. So, we’ll see what happens… The length of time the book has been on my shelves is in parentheses next to the title/author, and the covers link to Goodreads in case any of them catch your eye!

Book Review – The Obsidian Tower

The Obsidian Tower Info

Hello, everyone! Today, I’m reviewing a book that has been out for a while, The Obsidian Tower by Melissa Caruso. I’ve had this one on my shelf ever since Orbit Books was kind enough to send me the entire trilogy back in 2022. It has taken me a minute to get to this trilogy because I wanted to read Caruso’s other books first, which I did last year. So, now the time has finally come to dive into the Rooks and Ruin books, and I am so excited to see what happens next in this world Caruso has built!

First Lines Fridays (90) – April 12, 2024

First Lines Fridays is a weekly feature for book lovers hosted by Wandering Words. What if instead of judging a book by its cover, its author or its prestige, we judged it by its opening lines?

  • Pick a book off your shelf (it could be your current read or on your TBR) and open to the first page
  • Copy the first few lines, but don’t give anything else about the book away just yet – you need to hook the reader first
  • Finally… reveal the book!

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Acquired in March 2024

Top Ten Tuesday - Books Set in a School

Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday, which was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.

This week’s theme is a freebie! So, I’ve chosen to highlight my Top Ten Books I Acquired in March 2024. I usually do a book haul post each month with everything I’ve added to my shelves, but I haven’t kept up with all my purchases… So, I’m just going to use this week’s freebie to highlight some of my favorite March acquisitions instead of rummaging through all my receipts. Half of these are actually ARCs, too. March was a REALLY great month for ARC acquisitions. There’s just so many great new books coming our way soon. The covers link to Goodreads in case any of them catch your eye!
