Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Want to Read by New to Me Authors 

TTT

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme where every Tuesday we look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) bookish examples to demonstrate that particular topic.  Top Ten Tuesday (created and hosted by  The Broke and Bookish) is now being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and future week’s topics can be found here.  This week’s prompt is:

Books I Want to Read by New to Me Authors 

Today’s list is a combination of books from my wishlist and owned books from my shelf that will be forthcoming reads. These are all new to me authors:

Wishlist:

The Red Sacrament by Sara Hinkley. I saw a fantastic review for this by Charlotte over at Bewitching Books, ravenous reads

When the Wolf Comes Home by Nat Cassidy. I don’t always make a note of where my recommendations come from but I read a glowing review for this one over at Books Bones and Buffy’s blog.

Assassins Anonymous by Rob Hart – This book hit my wishlist, again, after reading a glowing review by Tammy at Books Bones and Buffy.

Catherine Called Birdy by Karen Cushman – I loved the sound of this and found it over at Lexlingua – some time ago.

These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham – I do own a copy of this one but haven’t managed to give myself time yet to pick it up. Check out this glorious review at the Bibliosanctum.

Shelf:

The House That Eats the Dead by Max Doty

Aphrodite in Pieces by Lauren Bear

An Immaculate Deception by Isabela Livino

The Court of Venus by Bel Banta

Newbourne Park by Jennifer Thorne

Have you read any of these authors or do you have these books on your shelves already?

Today is day 25 of my countdown to 2023.  Today’s prompt is ‘Christmas Day’.  The prompts can be found here if you want to join in.  I’m hoping to use mostly books read this year.  Let’s begin:

CHRISTMAS DAY (A book from your wishlist)

Well, I do have quite a long wishlist but I’ve chosen a book that had absolutely glowing reviews and one that I’ve wanted to read for some time, These Silent Woods by Kimi Cunningham grant.  This sounds amazing and emotional.

Tomorrow: Boxing Day – feeling bloated, a palate cleanser
