Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It’s all about love of lists, love of literature and bringing bookish people together.
Hey everyone! So, today is a Tuesday and you all know what that means – Top Ten Tuesday. And yes, I know I didn’t do this last week as I didn’t have much time due to work. Sorry. Anyway, this week’s topic is the ten most recent books on My To-Read list. So without further ado, here they are:
Oh, and if interested, click the photos to find out more about the books.
The Toymakers by Robert Dinsdale
Red Rising by Pierce Brown
The City of Brass by S.A. Chakraborty
Nevernight by Jay Kristoff
The Gutter Prayer by Gareth Hanrahan
Thrawn by Timothy Zahn
All System Red by Martha Wells
Vicious by V.E. Schwab
On the Trail of Genghis Khan: An Epic Journey Through the Land of the Nomads by Tim Cope
Even the Darkest Stars by Heather Fawcett
The Candle and the Flame by Nafiza Azad
So, there you have it, the ten most recent additions to my TBR list on Goodreads. I think, as we all know, that just being added to the list doesn’t mean you will be read anytime soon, though we can hope can’t we! Are any of these books on your TBR lists, or have you read them? Let me know!

I started reading The Toymakers around Christmas but I couldn’t get into it. I may try again though! I hope you have a better experience with it!

Oh that’s annoying and a shame you didn’t enjoy it. That’s why I usually get books from authors I am new to from the library. Just in case!

I bought it on Kindle and was only a couple of quid, but that’s definitely a good idea! I may start doing that in the future!

Reblogged this on The Caffeinated Reader and commented:
Definitely going to try out this Top Ten Tuesday, but more importantly, please read NeverNight so I can hear your opinion before I start reading it lol, not to mention why is the cover for Even the Darkest Stars soooo pretty?!

I am reading The Gutter Prayer right now, and it is super dense but also pretty good.
All Systems Red is A+ and I definitely recommend it. I would protect Murderbot at all costs.
Red Rising was good, but very violent and gorey. So just a warning if that bothers you.
Vicious, Nevernight,The Candle and the Flame, and City of Brass are also on my TBR list!

Ooooh great list! I’m currently reading city of Brass and am liking it quite a bit, despite how slow the beginning is! I also have the Toymakers, Vicious, and the Candle and the Flame on my tbr! Red Rising has been on my tbr ever since it released years ago, so I hope to get to it some day! 😂

Yeah some books end up on your TBR and stay there for years! It’s a bit frustrating, but there is only so much reading you can do.

Great list! I’ve seen The Toymakers everywhere for some time now, and I’m so curious about it. I’ll definitely check it out. I’m also excited to read Vicious, I’ll probably start that one once I finish my review pile. Happy Reading!
