Top Ten Tuesday: To-Read List, Latest Additions


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish, now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. To read all the rules and link up, just head on over to her blog.

This week's topic is "Latest Additions to My To-Read List" and it's another one that makes me feel a little guilty. Or maybe just overwhelmed. My "To-Read" list is so enormous, it's impossible even to imagine that I could ever read all the books on it. But that's OK — I love making the list almost as much as I love reading the books. (Sometimes maybe more.) So let's take a look and see what we come up with....

Actually, there are a dozen books that have been added to my list pretty recently. Mostly fiction, but starting off with an interesting nonfiction title I found the other day.


The Catalogue of Shipwrecked Books, by Edward Wilson-Lee
The Stranger Diaries, by Elly Griffiths
Murder Theory (The Naturalist series, #3), by Andrew Mayne



The Last Romantics, by Tara Conklin
Light from Other Stars, by Erika Swyler
Old Baggage, by Lissa Evans



The Christie Curse, by Victoria Abbott (first book in her Book Collector Mystery series)
The Editor, by Steven Rowley
The Invited, by Jennifer McMahon



Lock Every Door, by Riley Sager
The Silent Patient, by Alex Michaelides
The Vicious Vet (Agatha Raisin series, #2), by M.C. Beaton


So that's my "Top Ten" list of twelve books I think I'd like to read. Some old, some not yet published. Enough to keep me occupied for at least a few months if I actually get to them. See anything tempting? Or if you've read any of these, I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Meant to Read in 2018 (But Didn't)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish, now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. To read all the rules and link up, just head on over to her blog.

This week's list topic is definitely making me feel guilty because several of the books I should have read were advance copies that I just never got around to. Shame, shame, shame. But I've made a promise to myself to DO  BETTER  THIS  YEAR. (And I really mean it this time.)

Anyway, here's my ten, in no special order:

The Great Alone, by Kristin Hannah

City of Endless Night, by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
(17th book in their series of Pendergast thrillers)

The Escape Artist, by Brad Meltzer

Educated: A Memoir, by Tara Westover
(Reading this one now.)

Virgil Wander, by Leif Enger

The Pharaoh Key, by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
(Fifth book in their Gideon Crew series)

The Rules of Magic, by Alice Hoffman

The Chalk Man, by C.J. Tudor

The Road to Lichfield, by Penelope Lively

The Ponder Heart, by Eudora Welty
