Books That Live in My Head Rent-Free | TTT | Top Ten Tuesday | 7/21/26

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 of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Please check out her website for more TTT topics!

This week’s topic is:

Books That Live in My Head Rent-Free 

---

• Beneath by. Ariel Sullivan – a recent read this year that was an emotional roller coaster.
• The Winged Game by. Sophie Kim – a recent read that was fun because of the creatures!
• White Lights by. Lauren Kate – a book that was so chaotic, I can’t help think about how crazy it was.

• Alchemised by. SenLinYu – I felt like this was such a reading event in 2025 — hard to forget.
• The Night Prince by. Lauren Palphreyman – this series has a chokehold on me. I’m obsessed with Blake.
• Crown Me yours by. Liv Zander – an unexpected book that made me cry!

• Weavingshaw by. Heba Al-Wasity – such a good book. Can’t wait for the sequel.
• Starside by. Alex Aster – for some reason I can’t stop thinking about this one. Maybe because it was all action and then like 2-3 pages of spice at the end. LOL…kind of wild but I loved the quest.
• The Library of Amorlin by. Kalyn Josephson – Loved this story, it was magical with the creatures but also so tense because of the morally gray FMC.

Daggermouth by. H.M. Wolfe – read this at the end of 2025 and loved it! Can’t wait for book two!
