Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time (This week was originally scheduled to be a non-bookish freebie, but I realized how close it was to the last non-bookish freebie we did. If you’re super on top of it and already wrote your post for this week, post it anyway! If you’d rather do a non-bookish freebie, go for it!).
I am, however, going rogue this week and I am going to share the last ten books I have returned to the library unread, and I haven't reborrowed .... yet!
The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris by Daisy Woods - I originally requested this one after it was reviewed for the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge.
Return to the Dallergut Dream Department Store by Miye Lee - I read the first book in this series a while ago
The Midwife of Auschwitz by Anna Stuart - Anna Stuart has been on the French bestseller lists for a while. When I did my Bestsellers Around the World post during Paris in July I decided it was time to try her books.
Us Against You by Fredrik Backman - I read Beartown and loved it ages ago and fully intend to read the rest of the series.
All the Bees in the Hollow by Lauren Keegan - Lauren Keegan used to be a book blogger and I picked up her book when I saw it next to Claire Keegan's books.
The Ingredients of Love by Nicolas Barreau - This is a French author that I am hoping to read soon.
The Yellow Villa by Amanda Hampson - After reading all of the Tea Ladies mysteries, I am now keen to read the other books by Amanda Hampson.
An Act of Love by Carol Drinkwater - I read my first Carol Drinkwater book during Paris in July this year and now I will read her backlist.
Emily Wilde's Map of the Other Lands by Heather Fawcett - I read the first book in this trilogy earlier this year
Three by Valerie Perrin - I really enjoyed Fresh Water for Flowers by this author earlier this year
I'll be reborrowing all of these at some point!
Oh, an interesting twist, did you run out of time before you could read them?

The Midwife of Auschwitz looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
One of these days I should read Us Against You.
ReplyDeleteFredrik Backman is an author I have never read. I should probably read him one day!
ReplyDeleteI hope you enjoy reading all of these when the time, and mood, presents itself.

Haha, been there done that! I have checked one book out 2 times and once on Hoopla, and STILL haven't read it.
ReplyDeleteI want to read The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris and all of Fawcett's books. Thanks for sharing, Marg. Hope we both get to read some of these.

Good topic! I also returned Us Against You due to the reader on the audio book--nothing wrong with the book. I will read it yet.
ReplyDeleteI am appalled by Us Against You!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! All the covers are so appealing. I haven't read any of these books yet, either!
