Hi friends,
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 was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Today’s theme is: books we want to read by new to me authors. I chose simplicity and perused my Goodreads TBR (because I have the brain of a goldfish and need a list to remember what book I put on my TBR LOL).
So in no particular order, here we go!
Fate of the Five by Niamh Rose; The Poet Empress by Shen Tao and Wing Weaver by AP Beswick.



The Geomagician by Jennifer Mandula, Where the Heart Meets the Sea by Kimbra Drake, Daggermouth by HM Wolfe.



If it Makes You Happy by Julie Olivia, Today we Go Home by Kelli Estes and Crow Talk by Eileen Garvin.



Strange Familiars by Keshe Chow

Have you raed any of these?
Thanks for reading.
Sophie








I loved If It Makes You Happy. It surprised me in a good way. I have not read Crow Talk, but I own the book. I hope we both like it
Ooh, great list! I totally forgot about Shen Tao. I’m very much looking forward to trying her book because it has such amazing reviews. It’s both exciting and intimidating, lol. I hope you enjoy these authors and books whenever you get to them :)
I really enjoyed The Geomagician, and I have Strange Familiars on my list too!
The Poet Empress is on my list this week too! And ooh, I’d forgotten about The Geomagician, but I’m definitely curious about that one.
I haven’t read any of these, but there sure are some nice covers among them.
I haven’t read any of these, but there sure are some gorgeous covers among them.
Strange Familiars is on my TBR too! Great list! Haven’t read any of them myself.
