Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection (or to your to-read list!)
I started writing this list late last week, which might have been a bit dangerous give how often I tend to 1click books in the middle of the night. Here are the last ten books I have acquired (as at the end of last week). ETA - yep, it would have looked a bit different if I was writing this post on Tuesday!
Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao - Can't remember where I saw this that prompted me to buy it, but it is probably because it is set in Tokyo.
The Last Lifeboat by Hazel Gaynor - I think I added this to my list because I saw that it had been shortlisted for an Irish literature prize.
Strange Weather in Tokyo by Hiromi Kawakami - I saw this on Emma's blog over at Words and Peace
Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett - I have been thinking about getting this for a while and finally bit the bullet.
The Last Love Note by Emma Grey - I first heard of this book last year at Rachael Johns Reader Retreat and have been meaning to get it since then.
Never Want to Sea You Again by Leonie Mack - I really enjoy Leonie Mack's books so when I saw that she was releasing this short story on her Substack I had to get it. It is still available
The Baby Dragon Cafe by Aamna Qureshi - Somehow I ended up on a broadcast channel from the publisher for this book, and in the end I couldn't help but pre-order it.
If You Could See Me Now by Samantha Tonge - Upcoming blog tour review book. I do like Samantha Tonge's books.
Happily Ever After by Jane Lovering - This is also an upcoming blog tour review book
Where the Birds Call Her Name by Claire van Ryn - This is an Australian author and the book sounds great. I was pleased when it was approved on Netgalley.
Have you read any of these?
What a neat list! So many nice covers. I've been meaning to read Fawcett's book as well. Hope you enjoy these.

How lovely to attend the retreat. You are reminding me I wouldn't mind reading The Dragon Café. Laughing at the Iclick in the middle of the night.
ReplyDeleteHaha. I havent visited free Kindle books for a while for fear of clicking!!
ReplyDeleteA great looking list. I have Emily Wilde 3 on my list. I enjoyed the first two books 😊
I also like the look of the Baby Dragon Cafe.
Have a great week!

I’m curious about When The Birds Call Her Name, too.
ReplyDeleteI want to read Strange Weather in Tokyo. And also Baby Dragon Cafe!!
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to be approved for Claire Van Ryn's novel too. And I keep seeing people posting about the Emily Wilde's book, I've already added it to my list but I'm trying not to cave in and buy it just yet.
ReplyDeleteWater Moon was on my list this week as well, I got the Illumicrate edition!
ReplyDeleteAlso going to add The Last Lifeboat to my TBR, not one I'd heard of but I love wartime historical fiction.
I'm particularly drawn to Where the Birds Call Her Name and Strange Weather in Tokyo.
ReplyDeleteThe Baby Dragon Cafe looks so adorable! I recently saw someone on YouTube talking about Water Moon.

I've been eyeing Emily Wilde's Encyclopedia but haven't added it to my reading list yet. Enjoy your reading!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoy Hazel Gaynor's books and am looking forward to reading The Last Life Boat at some point. I hope you love Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries as much as I did. The Baby Dragon Cafe does look really cute. I am adding that one to my wish list. I hope you enjoy all of these when you read them!
ReplyDeleteLOL, I understand that completely! I added books to my TBR after finishing my post. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteInteresting choices. I read/reviewed Strange Weather in Tokyo. Where the Birds Call Her Name interests me--if it makes it here
ReplyDeleteI've been one-clicking a lot lately too! The struggle is real. I hope you enjoy all these!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
