This week's theme is supposed to be NEW-TO-ME AUTHORS I DISCOVERED IN 2024. But I wasn't feeling that. I read A LOT of new authors every year. And trying to narrow them down to just ten? Not happening. So, I went rogue this week and chose to do TEN FAVORITE BOOKS I READ IN JANUARY OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS instead. Because I always have fun looking back at past reads. These are all favorite reads of mine, and books I recommend!
Happy Reading!
I struggled to narrow down new-to-me authors this week too. I love the theme you chose instead! The Children sounds interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe only one of these that I have read is "Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line" which I agree was a marvelous book. In fact, it was a rare five-star read for me.
ReplyDeleteI like your take on this, Lark! And I've not read any of these books. Will look through and see if there are a few I'd like to try. Thanks and hope your reading is great this week!
ReplyDeleteAll new to me. Some of these look interesting though.
ReplyDeleteOoh this is fun! Happy Tuesday BTW! I remember Six Wakes! It had a very distinctive opening as I recall. I think I've read Natalie Richards as well, possibly her debut. Nope, I just checked, it was Five Total strangrs. I liked that.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT, I will have to check out a few of the books you've listed in your post today to my reading wishlist!
ReplyDeleteCreating these lists, and living in memory-land is the most fun for us, the creators. Thanks for this list. Di you see I did the exact same prompt? Like minds!
ReplyDeleteWasn't Land of the Green Plums so good?
ReplyDeleteI thought it would be harder than it was to narrow down, but I tried to stick with books I had rated 5-stars, which really did narrow it down :)
ReplyDeleteI like it when you list your favorites of a certain month down through the years! I haven't read any of these, but Admiral looks interesting! :)
ReplyDeleteSmall As an Elephant has an interesting cover. I’d never think to describe even a baby elephant as small. :)
ReplyDeleteI picked the ten most recent, which all came from the last few months. I have only read one of these, The Last Chance Library. Nothing wrong with going rogue.
ReplyDeleteThe Children looks like a good read.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I had forgotten all about SMALL AS AN ELEPHANT! I really liked that book when I read it. That's the only one I've read from your list.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I love this topic and may have to borrow it myself one day. :-) I still haven't read Admiral. Why haven't I read Admiral? I haven't ready from your list, but Freya Sampson's book is on my TBR as is Djinn Patrol on the Purple Line. Thank you for sharing your January favorites from the past!
ReplyDeleteI too am interested in the mystery of Roanoke and so Blackwood is worth a try.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun topic! Six Wakes sounds really good! :)
