Top Ten Tuesday: Books on my Spring TBR

 Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Books on My Fall 2026 To-Read List (or Spring if you live in the Southern Hemisphere). So here are ten books from my Spring TBR




Secrets of a Winter Escape by Sue Moorcroft - The is the second book in The Italian Legacy trilogy, which is set in a small town on Lake Como in Italy.

A Fresh Start in Pelican Crossing by Maggie Christensen - If Maggie Christensen has a new book out, it will be on my TBR list, whatever the season.

The Kamogawa Food Detectives by Hisashi Kashiwai - This is the next selection for Cook the Books. Given that I am the host I need to reread and decide what I am going to cook from the book. 

A Far-flung Life by M L Stedman - Normally my book club is read on a theme, but evey 18 months or so we all agree to read the same book. This is the book for October.

Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman - These next few books are all the books I have chosen for the Goodreads Fall challenge. I am currently listening to this one whenever I am in the car by myself!



Long Island by Colm Toibin - I read Brooklyn years ago but I never got around to this one.

The Other Moctezuma Girls by Sofia Robleda - This one is for Hispanic Heritage Month.

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee - I have had my eye on this book for a long time! Now I am finally going to read it!

The French Christmas Market by Gillian Harvey - I feel like I need at least one Christmas book on the list!

The Talented Mr Ripley by Patricia Highsmith - This was the book that came up on the Classics Spin. I am currently reading it, and it is ...interesting to say the least.

    1. It's a little grittier than I expected it to be rather than cute!

  3. I'm trying to decide whether I have time to pull a TTT post together today! I should put Long Island on my list, although I haven't read The Magician yet, either. Happy Tuesday!

  5. Nice list! I'm curious to see what you think of Panchinko. It was so popular for a while that I waited -I usually stay away from the hype.

  6. I didn't realize that Alice Hoffman was the author of Practical Magic! I love her book Blackbird House. I'm pretty sure The Kamogawa Food Detective is on my TBR (not for this fall, though). Here is my TTT: https://thissideofstoryland.blogspot.com/2026/09/top-ten-tuesday-fall-2026-tbr.html

  11. Some great looking books, hope you enjoy Pachinko, I believe a TV series for it on Apple, however I just like to read the book which was very enlightening over Korea/Japan.

    1. I'll look for the series after I have read the book!! Rosa Kwon Easton's book was very enlightening about the Japan/Korea thing too!

  12. Some really good choices here! I love the Kamogawa series! Long Island [and Brooklyn] and Pachinko were really good, too.
