Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Ten Books You Recently Added To Your To-Be-Read List. Since my list seems to grow day by day and week by week, this should be easy!
In no particular order, books I’ve recently added to my to-be-read list — some not yet released, some newly published, and some that have been around for a while but are still new to me!
1) Sweet Forgiveness by Lori Nelson Spielman
2) Rook by Sharon Cameron: A YA re-telling of The Scarlet Pimpernel? Yes, please!
3) Dead Wake: The Last Crossing of the Lusitania by Erik Larson: Because a little history is sometimes just what I need!
4) Peace Talks by Jim Butcher: Can’t wait for book #16 in the amazing Dresden Files series! Not due out until spring of 2016, but worth waiting for!
Found on Pinterest…
5) A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
6) The Buffalo Soldier by Chris Bohjalian: I’ve been on a roll with books by this amazing author, and I need more!
7) The Wrath and the Dawn by Renee Ahdieh
8) Winter by Marissa Meyer: Okay, technically this has been on my TBR list ever since I read the rest of the series, but since the cover was just recently revealed, I think it counts!
9) This Is Your Life, Harriet Chance! by Jonathan Evison
10) Fire Touched by Patricia Briggs: The 9th Mercy Thompson book doesn’t have a cover image yet and isn’t due out until spring of 2016… but you can be sure I’ll be preordering this one the second it becomes available!
My Briggs shelf… just waiting for new additions!

Great list! I have heard great things about A Little Life.
It got such a great review in one of the newspapers I read — I just had to add it to my list! (Even thought it’s about 700 pages…)
AHH! Winter by Marissa Meyer..I CAN’T EVEN! * fangirls*
I seriously cannot wait for that book, the series just seems to be getting better and better!
My TTT: http://simplybookishthings.blogspot.com/2015/03/top-ten-tuesday-2-ten-books-you.html
I know! I really can’t wait, even though I’ll be so sad when the series is over.
Anyone who isn’t dying waiting for Winter is missing out on a series good series of reading. Happy readings!
Thanks! I really love this series!
I’m reading the new Erik Larson book right now. I’ve heard some less-than-stellar thoughts about it, but, so far, I disagree. It’s as fascinating as all of his other books.
I went off in a different direction: Great Books that Independent Booksellers Recommend.
I’m glad to hear you’re enjoying Dead Wake! I’ve always been interested in the Lusitania, and I”m really looking forward to reading about it.
Wow! The Buffalo Soldier seems really interesting and has a nice cover too! Great list!

Thank you! I’ve read a few great books by Chris Bohjalian lately, and The Buffalo Soldier sounds great .
I still have yet to read anything by Chris Bohjalian. Sweet Forgiveness looks very interesting too 🙂
My TTT
I’ve read about 5 of Chris Bohjalian’s book at this point, and think he’s terrific!
I don’t know most of these, but golly, what gorgeous covers! I take it you liked The Scarlet Pimpernel? I’ve been considering picking it up, but haven’t really made up my mind yet!
I just read The Scarlet Pimpernel with a book group, which was a really fun way to go about it. It’s very outdated in some ways, but it was a fast read and I was glad to have finally read it!
Sweet Forgiveness is a YA retelling of The Scarlet Pimpernel? SIGN ME UP RIGHT NOW! I never get sick of that story. Have you read Across a Star Swept Sea? That’s a great SP retelling.
And oh my gosh, I cannot wait to read Winter.
Oh wait, it’s Rook that is a SP retelling.
Yes, The Rook… but I hadn’t heard about A Star Swept Sea, so thanks!! I’ll have to check that one out too!
I didn’t know Rook was a retelling of the Scarlet Pimpernel! Have you read Across a Star-Swept Sea which is also a retelling of the story?
No, I didn’t know about that one until today! Will have to check it out — thanks!
There are a couple I’d read only for the cover, namely ‘Rook’ and ‘Dead Wake’ 🙂
I know what you mean — I’m pretty much drawn in by a great cover too!
Love your Briggs shelf 🙂
It’s my favorite. 🙂
Ooh! Haven’t read any of those but I gotta read Rook! And I really need to start the Cress series! Great list. Happy Tuesday! My TTT
I’ve seen a lot of The Wrath and the Dawn and Rook today! I’ll have to add them too! 🙂
Don’t they look great? I’m finding so many good books on today’s TTT lists!
Me too! I’ve added at least 5 books to my TBR list already!
