Top Ten Tuesday: 2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To

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?

    1. Me too Helen! Maybe I should download it so that I see it every time I open my Kindle!

    2. I hope you will pick up The Dubrovnik Book Club soon. Of course I am also curious about A Secret Garden in Paris.

  2. I would move up The Underground Library by Jennifer Ryan for the following reasons: it is a book about books ❤️and WWII.

  5. I'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!

  7. I 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.

  8. Great 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.

  9. Let me know when you read the King's Messenger and/or A Secret Garden in Paris and we can do buddy reads!

    1. Will 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!

  13. 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!
