Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is Bookish Wishes, with the prompt: List the top 10 books you’d love to own and include a link to your wishlist so that people can grant your wishes. Make sure you link your wishlist to your mailing address or include the email address associated with your e-reader in the list description so people know how to get the book to you. After you post, jump around the Linky and grant a wish or two if you’d like. Please don’t feel obligated to send anything to anyone!
When wishlists come up as a TTT prompt, I typically don’t share a link… but what the heck! I’ll jump in with my Amazon wishlist this time around. Really, I’m not terribly comfortable asking people for anything! Mainly, I’m posting this to say — here are books I want to get my hands on… and eventually, I may end up treating myself to at least one or two.
A couple of these are books that I read via the library and would love to own; one I just purchased in hardcover using a gift card, but would love to get a Kindle edition; and one is an upcoming new release that I already know I’ll need!
- The Children by Melissa Albert
- Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser
- The Calamity Club by Katheryn Stockett
- Kin by Tayari Jones
- My Friends by Fredrik Backman
- This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me by Ilona Andrews
- We Solve Murders by Richard Osman
- Daggerbound by T. Kingfisher (not out yet; release date 8/25/2026)
- Ladies in Waiting (anthology – various authors)
- Into the Blue by Emma Brodie
What books are you wishing for right now?
If you wrote a TTT post, please share your link!
Bookshelf Fantasies 
awesome list!
Thanks! I just need more time so I can read them all!
Kin sounds like a great read for sure.
I’m so eager to read that one — I thought the author’s previous novel was really great
I hope your bookish wishes come true.
Thanks for sharing your #TTT
Thank you! ❤
Great list, Calamity Club is on mine too
I’ve heard such good things! I hope we both get our hands on it soon!
I’m starting Calamity Club today. It’s so long!
Good luck! The length really makes me hesitate, except I keep hearing that it’s a great read!
Kin is on my TBR and I see The Children everywhere, so probably this means I should check it out 🙂
I just finished This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me and restarted reading it again because it is AMAZING. Caveat: I thought it is a standalone but it ends on a massive cliffhanger just when everything seems to be wrapping up nicely. Ironic…I really hope Ilona Andrews is not like her fictional author Latour, and finishes what she started!
I just borrowed The Children from the library — I’ve only read a little so far, but I’m hooked already!
I still need to read Osman!
I just picked up the Thursday Murder Club books within the past year… and read them all! They’re so much fun.
WE SOLVE MURDERS is such a great read! I can’t wait for the next book in the series to come out.
Happy TTT!

I can’t wait to read it! I loved the Thursday Murder Club books, so I have no doubt that I’ll love this one too!
The Children is on mine as well!
I just borrowed it from the library and have only had time so far to read the first few chapters… but I have a feeling it’s one I’ll want to own!
What a great list! You already know I love The Children, and I would also love to read The Calamity Club and My Friends😁
I’ve started The Children (but silly things like going to work are getting in my way!). My Friends was one of my favorite books last year, and I think one of Backman’s best, which is why I want a copy for my shelves 🙂
That’s a fun wishlist! 😀
I’d be so happy with any of these!
You have a lovely selection of books on your wishlist. Hope you manage to get some of them soon. This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me is on mine too, and I feel like The Children could well be once I’ve read it (I’m borrowing it via the library first but will be surprised if I don’t fall for it). At the top of my wishlist is the Fairyloot edition of The Knight & The Moth, unfortunately it always seems to sell for ridiculous amounts.
I’m reading The Children now! I borrowed it from the library… but like you, I have a feeling I’ll want a copy of my own once I finish 🙂
Such a great line-up! I’ve read and loved two of these: My Friends and We Solve Murders.
I loved My Friends! Loved it so much that I want a copy of my very own. And I’m so eager to read We Solve Murders. I loved the Thursday Murder Club books!
Some fun summer reads here!
Looks like some fun summer reading 🙂
I think so! 🙂 Can’t wait for a chance to read as many of these as possible!
Well, I know you’ve picked up a couple of these already. Hope all your wishes come true and you end up with all these lovely books.
Happy reading.
Lynn 😀
