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 I HAD to Have Immediately but Still Haven’t Read
I don’t have 10 today, only 7!
- Every Spiral of Fate by. Tahereh Mafi – I haven’t read it because someone advised me to wait until the next book comes out first. So I’ve been waiting!
- Rites of the Starling by. Devney Perry – I borrowed this right away (surprised it was available), but for some reason I couldn’t get into it. I’m trying again with the audiobook.
- This Shattered Tempest by. Thea Guanzon – I actually have this as an arc, but I wanted to wait nearer to publication to read this. I may give in and read it earlier though!
- Daybreak by. Autumn Woods – have been waiting on this for a year! And I will read it as soon as it is delivered to me this week.
- For Whom the Belle Tolls by. Jaysea Lynn – found this on Book Outlet, after hearing good reviews for it. I still haven’t read it!
- Witch of Wild Things by. Raquel Vasquez Gilliland – I keep meaning to read this! Hopefully this fall!
- Scorched Earth by. Danielle L. Jensen – I haven’t read it yet because I feel like I need to read the previous books since it’s been so long between books!

August 11: Books I Was Reading On This Day Over the Last Ten Years (Stolen from Anne @ HeadFullofBooks) (This might be tricky if you don’t use a reading tracker like Goodreads, but the idea is to share what you were reading on August 11th of 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016. If you have no idea, pick a book you loved that you read at any time during each of the last ten years. And if you still have no idea, pick a book you loved that was published during each of the last ten years. Make this work for you!)
