Top Ten Tuesday

 
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly meme hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.

This week's theme:  Books on my Fall 2023 To-Read List.

This was an easy list to compile except for one thing...keeping it to just 10 books. Because there are a lot of books I'm hoping to read before the end of the year. Here are some of them:


Bookshop Cinderella by Laura Lee Guhrke




Gallows Hill by Darcy Coates




What the Hex by Jessica Clare




The Dark by Emma Haughton




With Love, From Cold World by Alicia Thompson




Girl, 11 by Amy Suiter Clarke




The Man Trapped by Shadows by Pete Zacharias




Finlay Donovan is Killing it by Elle Cosimano




North of Nowhere by Allison Brennan




Fairest of Heart by Karen Witemeyer




The Last Cold Place by Naira de Gracia




Home At Night by Paula Munier




How many is that? Probably more than 10. Oh, well. This list could easily have been much, much longer. But it's a lovely problem to have...too many books I want to read. 

Happy Reading!

    1. :D I did check out your TTT list, and I tried to leave a comment, too, but it wouldn't let me because I don't have an account with Facebook or Wordpress.

  2. A list that is a good selection of novels for to have good moments of readings.

    1. Doesn't that one look like fun? Gotta have a witchy book on the list when fall rolls around. ;D

  4. That's an interesting list and I see some on there that I may be adding to my own list.

    1. Well, you always add books to my TBR list. :D

  5. I also feel that 10 books is not enough!
    With Love, From Cold World is one I've seen around and I'm intrigued. And I really enjoyed Finlay Donovan! Happy reading!

    1. I've heard only good things about Finlay Donovan, so I'm excited to read it. Thanks for commenting! :D

  6. Great list, Lark! Fairest of Heart was a fun Snow White retelling. I really enjoyed it. I'll be curious to hear your thoughts on Finlay Donovan is Killing It. That book sounds so good. :)

    1. I'm excited to read both of those. Especially Fairest of Heart. :D

  7. I hope you love all of these. It's been a while since I've read a Brennan book, but that one looks really good!

    1. The reviews I've read of it have been very positive, so I'm hopeful it's as good as it sounds. :D

  8. You did an admirable job of keeping it to 10 books only. Way too much choice out there for that ever to be an easy task. I like the penguin book, looks good along with several of the "suspense" and thriller style books you listed. Some nice, attractive covers going for most of them, too.

    1. It was hard narrowing my fall TBR list down to just these, because my actual list is much longer. And when fall rolls around I always get in the mood for some good suspenseful thrillers. :D

  9. I confess to not reading of any of these books but also to not having read any of the authors. Shame on me. We do all follow our favorites when making selections, huh?

    1. We do have our favorites, that's for sure. :D

  10. Nice list. Bookish Cinderella looks interesting and I still haven't read Fairest of Heart either!!

    1. I'm hoping to read both of them before the end of the year...fingers crossed! ;D

    2. Lark, I understand completely! I think I need to *gasp* put myself on a library ban!!! I have SO many books out and my holds keep coming in, plus my ARCs, plus trying to finish my challenges, sigh!

      Delete
    3. It can get a little overwhelming when the books start piling up like that! I went a month without going to the library once just to force myself to read some of the books sitting on my own shelves...but I've only done it that once. Going to the library is my bookish addiction. ;D

  11. Gallows Hill looks perfect for a spooky fall read. And the cover of Home at Night makes me want to know more.

    1. Gallows Hill does look good...and Coates knows how to write a good scary story. I've liked several of her haunted house/ghost stories. :D And the Paula Munier series is a fabulous one.

  12. Lots of great looking books on your list this week!!

    1. And there's so many more that I didn't even put on this list! Too many books to ever read before the end of the year. But I keep trying. ;D

  13. I love the mix here. Home at Night I added after seeing it somewhere this weekend, and the penguin one. Brennan's also. And Finlay sounds fun also!

  15. Great list! I've been wondering about Coates. Her books look like ones I would like, except they might be a little too creepy for me. I'll have to give them a try and find out. Enjoy your Fall reading.

    Happy TTT!

    1. Craven Manor, The Carrow Haunt and Hunted are my three favorite Darcy Coates' books so far. I'd recommend trying one of those first. :D

  16. Loved North of Nowhere! Hope you do too! Finlay is madcap fun! I would like to start that Paula Munier series at some point. Girl 11 looks interesting. I'll have to look it up. Great list, Lark! I hope you enjoy your Fall TBR.

  18. Finlay Donovan is Killing It is definitely on my radar too. And I must check out the Paula Munier as I haven't read one of those in a while.

    1. I love Mercy and Elvis! It's one of my favorite series. :D

  19. I realized something while reading this post: I'm always drawn to books with animals on the cover. Scrolling down your list, and judging by cover and title only, books that most interested me are the last two! :P

    1. I think you would like Paula Munier's series...but be sure to start with the first book, A Borrowing of Bones. This is a series best read in order.

  20. I really enjoyed Finlay Donovan, With Love, From Cold World, and Bookshop Cinderella. I hope that these are all winners for you.

    1. There's 30+ other books that I didn't put on this list that I'm also hoping to read...though I probably won't get to them all.

  22. Yeah it's hard to compete with an Antartica book, yay! But that North of Nowhere also looks good. Like a Montana wilderness setting too. Enjoy.

    1. I've enjoyed several of Allison Brennan's novels, so I'm looking forward to reading North of Nowhere. And that wilderness setting is always a favorite of mine. :D

  23. I am going to have to find The Last Cold Place by Naira de Gracia. Sounds fantastic. I already have another nonfiction book about penguins in Antarctica (still unread), they would go together well.

    1. I love reading about Antarctica...and penguins, too. So I'm excited to check out The Last Cold Place.

  28. I really enjoyed Cold World -- hope you do too!

  29. Having too many books to read is definitely a lovely problem. I can't wait to read "With Love, From Cold World" for our next buddy read! :)

  30. I often find it impossible to keep my TTT posts down to just 10, especially with the anticipatory posts (seasonal TBRs and "most anticipated new releases.") This looks like a great collections of books; I hope you are able to read at least some of these this fall. I need to read What the Hex, too.

    1. I'm hoping to get to all of these before the year's over...but you never know. Other books always seem to get in the way of my reading lists. ;D
