Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is 2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To (will you be prioritizing these this year?)
So the hardest thing about this topic is limiting the list to just ten, but I have somehow managed it.
The Mirror by Nora Roberts - I listened to the first book in this trilogy so my intention is to listen to them all. I do, however, have several audiobooks on the go so not sure when I will get to this one!
A Secret Garden in Paris by Sophie Beaumont - I really want to read this. If nothing else, I will definitely get it read before this years Paris in July event.
The Last Illusion of Paige White by Vanessa McCausland - I loved this authors last book so I really want to read this one too.
The Wedding People by Alison Espach - I didn't know I was excited to read this one until the very end of this year. I have started this one, and so far, so good!
Dirrayawadha by Anita Heiss - Such a bad reader. Anita Heiss was at the reader retreat I went to last year, she was on our table for dinner, she was great company..... and yet I still haven't managed to read this one!
The Kings Messenger by Susanna Kearsley - This is one of my favourite authors ever and yet I still haven't read her latest release
A Certain Kind of Starlight by Heather Webber - I intended to read this one before now. I honestly did!
The Underground Library by Jennifer Ryan - I have only read one Jennifer Ryan book but I liked it a lot so I requested it for review....and still haven't read it!
At the Stroke of Midnight by Jenni Keer - I did read the first page of this one, and then realised I had some deadlines and haven't gone back to it yet. I will though...at some point.
The Dubrovnik Book Club by Eva Glyn - This sounds so good!
Which one of these books should I move up the priority list?
The King's Messenger is one of my favourite Susanna Kearsley books, so I hope you're able to read it soon!
ReplyDeleteMe too Helen! Maybe I should download it so that I see it every time I open my Kindle!
DeleteI hope you will pick up The Dubrovnik Book Club soon. Of course I am also curious about A Secret Garden in Paris.
DeleteI will move Dubrovnik Book Club up my list
DeleteI would move up The Underground Library by Jennifer Ryan for the following reasons: it is a book about books ❤️and WWII.
ReplyDeleteBoth good reasons to pick it up!
DeleteI haven't read any of these books either but A Secret Garden in Paris looks amazing! I hope you'll read all these books this year :)

I really liked the other book I read from this author which was also set in Paris
DeleteThe Mirror has a cool cover.
ReplyDeleteIt does! And I really liked the first book in the trilogy
DeleteI'm terrible at keeping up with new releases, but several of these look good. I'll probably be adding them to my already out of control tbr. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI think everyone's TBR pile is out of control really!
DeleteThese look good.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed you get to read them soon!
Have a great week!

I hope they are good!
DeleteI started my list with the ones I own, which made it easier to narrow down! With so many books coming out each year it is hard to keep up with them all.
ReplyDeleteI already own half of them and want to own the rest!!
DeleteGreat list. I also had more than ten that came to mind. The Underground Library and At the Stroke of Midnight sound wonderful. Hope you get to read these this year.

I am particularly keen to read At the Stroke of Midnight, if I can find time!
DeleteLet me know when you read the King's Messenger and/or A Secret Garden in Paris and we can do buddy reads!
ReplyDeleteWill do! Still deciding if I wait for the US edition of King's Messenger or just read it soon and then maybe get it again later!
DeleteThe Dubrovnik Book Club sounds really good and right up my alley. Will have to add to my want to read list!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to read The Mirror. Nice list you have. I hope you get to read them.
ReplyDeleteI quite liked the first book so I definitely want to read more of the story in The Mirror!
DeleteGreat review
ReplyDeleteTHanks
DeleteWait... A reading retreat? That sounds so great! Hope you'll enjoy all these books when you come around to them!

Yes! Been on a couple and going on another one this year. I should more precisely say a readers retreat because there isn't a whole lot of actual reading done!
