Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Books I’ve Added To My To-Be-Read List Lately
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke And The Bookish. For more info on how to participate in this weekly post or future topics click here.
Defy by Sarah Larson
One of my favorite booktubers, Naya Reads and Smiles, mentioned this book in a recent video of her favorite underrated reads. It seems like it falls into the love triangle tropes of YA, but the fantasy and magic aspects sound interesting enough.
Behold The Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue
Ever since I read Adichie’s novel Americanah, I’ve been on the quest to read more books by African authors. The synopsis sounds good and I’m interested to see how the themes marriage, immigration, class, and race intersect in this novel.
The Wicked + The Divine Vol.2: Fandemonium by Kieron Gillen
I just read the first volume of this series last month and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The story is set in a world where gods are like pop stars. I’ve been on a graphic novel binge recently and this series is easily becoming one of my favorites.
Nemesis by Anna Banks
Despite a lot people saying they hate this cover, I actually like a lot. It’s what partially drew me to the book. It seems like a fun book filled with royalty, mystery, spies, and romance!
Death, Dickinson, and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia by Jenny Torres Sanchez
The title alone was enough for me to want to read this book. It seems like a deep YA book that is not only a coming of age story, but also focuses on some serious issues as well.
The House Between Tides by Sarah Maine
This novel about a woman who discovers the century-old remains of a murder victim on her family’s Scottish estate which leads her into an investigation of its former occupants. I love a good mystery so this is definitely up my alley. Plus I love the mysterious and eerie cover!
Wonder Women by Sam Maggs
I love learning about history and books infused with girl power! Wonder Women sounds like such a wonderful compilation of influential women throughout history.
A Shadow Bright and Burning (Kingdom on Fire #1) by Jessica Cluess
As you can probably tell by the other books listed in this Top Ten Tuesday, Fantasy is a reoccuring genre (and my favorite type of book to read!). The story follows a female sorcerer who goes to London to train with Her Majesty’s sorcerers. Sounds exciting!
Everfair by Nisi Shawl
I was absolutely hooked into this books synopsis after reading Jenny’s (The Reading End) amazing review of this book. It sounds like a good mix of fantasy and steam punk with a more globalized view.
Willful Machines by Tim Floreen
I saw a review of this novel from Stefanie @ your daughters bookshelf and it looks good. It’s seems like it has a good balance of sci-fi and romance, so I’m definitely intrigued.

Thanks for the recommendation Diana! We Need New Names has been added to my TBR list. 🙂
Some great recommendations! I’ve just added a few more to my list now too… Nemisis and Everfair look amazing.
Yay! Thanks!
Fantastic list. Behold The Dreamers is also on my TBR. Have heard promising things about it. The “Wonder Women” book has made the rounds in the blogosphere. It looks so good!
I also have Nisi Shawl’s book on my TBR. Omg, Rachel, you have excellent taste in books. 😀
Thanks Naz! It’s bloggers like you that keep my TBR overflowing with amazing book recs. 🙂
I’m 110% here for The Wicked + The Divine. I liked the first issue/volume well enough, but I need to find the second one. Behold the Dreamers looks so beautiful! I’ve been seeing it around a bit, so I may just have to steal that one for my TBR pile as well.
Great choices (because now my TBR is bubbling over even more than it already was)!
Thanks Morgan! 🙂
I’m very curious about Behold The Dreamers by Imbolo Mbue as well!
I’ve never heard of The House Between Todes but it sounds like my type of book! That cover reminds me of Alcatraz… very eerie!
Tides* not Todes lol
Now that you bring Alcatraz up, I can totally see the image of in that cover art.
