Top Ten Books I Recently Added to My TBR
Like most of you, I’m sure, I’m CONSTANTLY adding books to my TBR. It’s the number one reason why I’ll never finish reading all the books on it. These aren’t the ten books I JUST added, but I’ve added all of these books in the last two weeks, and I’m STOKED to read all of them.
The Tsar’s Game | Evelyn Skye • Not too much info on this one, friends, except that the deal announcement mentioned Tsarist Russia–STOP IT LOVE THIS–magic, and star-crossed lovers. I CANNOT. Too bad I have to wait at least a year for it to come out.
Mystic and Rider (Twelve Houses #1) | Sharon Shinn • Sharon Shinn is one of my NEED TO READ fantasy authors. I’ve had other books of hers on my TBR for a long time, but I just found this one, the first in a series about a land experiencing some trouble because of perceived dangers of magic.
Saga, Volume 4 | Brian K. Vaughan • DUH, I need to keep reading about Marko, Alana, and their bebe, Hazel. Not to mention the intergalactic wars that are going on. Need this one real bad.
Romancing the Dark in the City of Light | Ann Jacobus • Do you know what book this reminds me of a little bit? REVOLUTION. But only the contemporary parts of that book. Something about the way this makes living in Paris and falling in love seem dark and troubled. I’m a little wary of the two guys business, but I’m still going to give this one a go.
The Hanged Man (Her Majesty’s Psychic Service #1) | P.N. Elrod • WHOA, you guys. THIS BOOK sounds amazing. Historical paranormal about a forensic psychic in London in 1879 who’s brought into a murder investigation to help suss out whether or not the death was suicide or murder-by-magic. The psychic? Queen Victoria’s goddaughter. PS this psychic lives on Baker Street. PPS there’s a handsome lieutenant and an enigmatic lord.
The Bride of Dusk and Glass | Roshani Chokshi • I’m noticing a new trend in YA, friends, and it involves Indian mythology. I can’t wait to delve into this vibrant culture! This one is a retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, so it’s like two mythologies. I AM READY.
First & Then | Emma Mills • First of all, this cover is just so colorful and happy-making. Second of all, CUTE CONTEMP ALERT! There’s a best friend crush and a cocky boy crush, and it just sounds delightful and adorable.
Starborn (The Worldmaker Trilogy #1) | Lucy Hounsom • Not sure when this is coming out in the States, but it sounds like a super fantasy. There’s unnatural storms, betrayal, ancient ceremonies, visions, war, and “powers fueled by the sun and the moon.” WUTTTTT.
The Unquiet | Mikaela Everett • So I can’t lie: One of the things that drew me to this book is the name of the main character–Lirael. But what kept me interested is the awesomely weird things going on. A girl has been trained to go to a parallel universe and kill other herself, except things are not really what they seem. It’s described as unsettling, but it also still sounds potentially awesome.
Silver in the Blood | Jessica Day George • I’ve never read any books by Jessica Day George, but this one about young girls from turn-of-the-2oth-century New York go back to their ancestral home in Romania and come into contact with some dark things there sounds wonderful.
A Thousand Nights | E.K. Johnston • Ok, so first thing I noticed about this synopsis? The MC isn’t named. She’s only “she.” It sounds like “she” is some spin on Sheherezade, though, and I can get behind that 100%.
Great list and I love the way you’ve presented it. Lots on here that I’ve not heard about but am now interested in. I only heart about A Thousand Nights today, in someone else’s TTT but I really like the sound of it and that cover is just stunning!
Thank you for sharing and happy reading 🙂
Romancing the Dark in the City of Light looks really good, and it almost made my list this week, but I added a few other books at the last minute, so they felt more recent.
I hope you enjoy all of these once you get the chance to read them! 🙂
Oooh I haven’t heard of these but the cover of Silver in the Blood has grabbed my attention 😀
Hope you enjoy these books when you get to read them 🙂 Have a great day!
Here’s my TTT @ Emma’s Bookery if you would like to check it out 🙂
What a great selection of novels, Amy! I found a few that I hadn’t had on my TBR, but will most definitely consider adding now 🙂 And I’m reminded that I need to read a Sharon Shinn novel at some point. Heard nothing but great things about her!
