I'm trying to reduce my TBR, not add to it. But I'm still a book blogger and more, I'm still me, so here are the top ten books I've recently added to the TBR even if I totally didn't mean to.
1. Duke of Midnight by Elisabeth Hoyt - A commenter said, "the hero is basically Georgian Batman" and the book was magically already in my Amazon cart???
2 - 3. The Heiress and The Husband Hunt by Linsay Sands - The sequels to my new favorite book? Yes please!
4. Written in Red by Anne Bishop - When I asked the Twitters for ideas on new UF series, I got two answers. The Hollows, which my girlfriend has had on my TBR for ages, and The Others.
5. Last Will and Testament by Dahlia Adler - I mean, we did do a cover reveal for the sequel. And I loved Under the Lights.
6. The Crown by Kiera Cass - Why fight it? We all know I'm going to read it. And the next. And the next.
7. I'm with Cupid by Anna Staniszewski - I'm not a huge MG reader, but I liked the author's Dirt Diaries and thought this had a pretty cute premise.
8. Kill the Boy Band by Goldy Moldavsky - Oh my god, have we all read this synopsis? I'm dying. And I mean, so are The Ruperts. (Hate the cover, though.)
9. Shifting Shadows by Patricia Briggs - I go back and forth on whether or not I like short story collections like these, but my library got a copy so soon it will be mine.
10. Risuko by David Kulder - Cover good. Fire bad. Brain primitive.
So that's where I'm at this fine January, with 10 more books on my TBR and not a one removed. Oops. What about you, readers? Anything here sound good? Anything else I should be adding?
Georgian Batman?!? I must get this book!
ReplyDeleteTHE HERO'S NAME IS MAXIMUS BATTEN. mAX BAT!
DeleteLAST WILL AND TESTAMENT!! That was one of my fave books last year and one of two 5-star ratings I've ever given to NA. Are we surprised? Dahlia's the queen.
ReplyDeleteI also verrrry want to read Written in Read. I feel like everyone has been starting that series lately and I'm just !!
Also, I refuse to believe that's the final cover for Kill the Boy Band. I know it's coming out a month, but that's plenty of time for them to get their shit together.
Thank you for the LWaT shoutout!! And yesss I so highly rec KILL THE BOY BAND. I'm pretty desperate to know how they settled on that cover, but I wonder if they thought the title alone would sell the book. Which, honestly, it kinda does! (And it's great.)
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for writing books I want to read!
DeleteHearing you rec it makes me want Kill The Boy Band all the more. I do think the title stands alone, but I think a different font would have made all the difference. Something like the Rock of Ages or even 1Ds album font to make it look more "band-y"?
