Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week's theme is Books on our Winter TBR pile. In terms of pure numbers this year has been my best reading year for about four years so that's something to be celebrating isn't it? So these are books that I aim to be continuing my renewed reading mojo with over the next few months.
Something to Talk About by Rachael Johns - This is the follow up to Talk of the Town which I read not too long ago. Rachael Johns is always a good read.
Dictionary of Lost Words by Pip Williams -This book has been on my radar ever since I heard the author talk about it! I need to read it!
500 Miles from You by Jenny Colgan - I listened to the previous book in this series not too long ago so I am keen to given this one a go now.
Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo - I loved reading With the Fire on High earlier this year so I am super excited to read this one.
Kitchen Chinese by Ann Mah - This is the next book in the Cook the Books bookclub.
Rosewater & Soda Bread by Marsha Mehran - This is the last book that I borrowed from the library before it closed that I haven't read yet, so I want to read it before the library opens again
The Pretty Delicious Cafe by Danielle Hawkins - I read a couple of Danielle Hawkins books earlier this year and now I intend to read them all.
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles - I have seen and heard so much about this book recently. Even when I was out for dinner recently someone talked about it.
The Goldminer's Sister by Alison Stuart - This is a review book that I have coming up and the follow up to
Storm Glass by Maria V Snyder - After reading the original trilogy in this series, I am now going to read the next trilogy which focuses on a character that we have already met in the previous book.
I've read A Gentleman in Moscow twice and loved it both times (once in print and once on audio). You're in for a treat! I also enjoyed Rules of Civility, which is also by Towles. Be sure to check out his website, where you can see photos of the Metropol.
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to check that out Les!
DeleteOoh Kitchen Chinese sounds good to me, and I've heard good things about Colgan's books!
ReplyDeleteJenny Colgan is really good at light but serious books.
DeleteI really enjoyed Gentleman in Moscow. I hope you do, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope I do too Deb!
DeleteI'm so curious about Clap When You Land.
ReplyDeleteMy TTT .
I am very much looking forward to that book Lydia.
DeleteI'm hoping to read Clap When You Land this summer too!

I saw it on quite a few lists this week Lauren!
DeleteThe Dictionary of Lost Words sounds good.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
It does sound so good! I've heard the author talk about it and it is fascinating.
DeleteI haven't read any of these yet, but I've heard a lot of good things about many of these. Someone said Clap Out Loud is their favorite book so far this year.
ReplyDeleteThat makes me anticipate that book even more Deanna.
DeleteNice list! I always find great-looking books to add to my TBR list when I visit your blog :) CLAP WHEN YOU LAND is one I definitely want to read, especially since, like you, I loved WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH. I love Jenny Colgan, so 500 MILES is on my TBR list. THE PRETTY DELICIOUS CAFE is one I hadn't heard of, but it looks like one I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I always find great looking books on your blog too Susan! The Pretty Delicious Cafe is by a New Zealand author so might be a fun read for you.
DeleteSomething to Talk About by Rachael Johns looks like a good read. Great list.
ReplyDeleteHere is my TTT.

I really like most of her books!
DeleteSomething To Talk About is fantastic, of course! I've read the book before Rosewater and Soda Bread, wonder if I should read that one. Also, I really enjoyed The Pretty Delicious Cafe
ReplyDeleteI only read Pomegranate Soup a few months ago.
DeleteI loved A Gentleman in Moscow. It's one of those books I would love to read again. Hope you enjoy it too.
ReplyDeleteI hope I have a similar reaction!
DeleteThat's a nice variety of books you have there! Hope you enjoy reading them all!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to them Melody!
DeleteGood list--I'll look into Rosewater & Sodabread. I can't wait for Clap When You Land!
ReplyDeleteClap When you Land sounds great. Thanks for stopping by Lisa.
DeleteA Gentleman in Moscow sounds interesting. I'm lucky because our library is offering curbside service now. It's not as good as being able to go to the shelves yourself (it can take a while to get a book even if it's already checked in) but I'm glad to have it again. Hope your library opens soon!
ReplyDeleteA couple of branches of ours are open but not the one when all my holds are being held at.
DeleteI can't wait to read Clap When You Land. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading to you too Lauren.
DeleteThank you for my visit on my page earlier.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Marianne!
DeleteI read Clap When You Land this weekend and it was a lovely read.
ReplyDeleteI really need to read it Annemieke!
