Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme
created by The Broke and the Bookish.
There was a time when I added books to my TBR left and right. Something looked mildly interesting? Added it to the TBR. I read an interesting review? Bam, it went on the TBR. These days I'm a lot more discriminating. I have to be truly excited about a book for it to make it to the TBR. So here are the ten most recent additions to my To Be Read list.
The Night Mark - Tiffany Reisz | The Light We Lost - Jill Santopolo
The Hard Truth About Sunshine - Sawyer Bennett | Violet Grenade - Victoria Scott
My Skylar - Penelope Ward | Words in Deep Blue - Cath Crowley
Eliza and Her Monsters - Francesca Zappia
Have you read any of these?
What have you most recently added to your TBR?

I'm so excited about Eliza and Her Monsters. I hope you enjoy these books when you get around to them. :-)
ReplyDeleteI hope we'll both love Eliza and Her Monsters, Chrissi! So far I'm seeing really positive reviews!
DeleteI haven't read any of these-nor do I have them on my TBR. I always say though- TTTs are the best way to hear about books! I did something similar in my list, I didn't choose a genre, just listed some books on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteI agree! I've discovered some books thru TTT that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. :)
DeleteI TRY not to add things to my TBR willy-nilly but it doesn't always work lol. I know what you mean though, we have to try. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm curious about Violet Grenade and Eliza and her Monsters.
I've become near-militant about not adding random stuff to the TBR. LOL
DeleteHaha! I have to say, your old way is exactly how I still do my TBR lists (my list is splits in several lists and categories, it's that bad!) Since I'm an eclectic reader, I love having a lot of choices, but I'm much more discriminating when it comes to buying books or borrowing from the library, fortunately.
ReplyDeleteEliza and her Monsters and Words in Deep Blue both sound good, I'm hoping I'll get to read them too. Great list!
Thanks Kay! Last year I went through my GoodReads TBR and weeded out A LOT. I was heartless. LOL Felt good to get rid of stuff I'd lost interest in, though.
DeleteI've read The Light We Lost and I liked it but didn't love it. I think I am the black sheep there. I want to read Eliza and Words in Deep Blue too. Great list!!
ReplyDeleteI've seen pretty mixed reviews on The Light We Lost... but I'm still hopeful. :) I have such high hopes for Words in Deep Blue. I feel like it's going to be great!
DeleteMy TBR is full of books that make me question my sanity that day! Sometimes I look at a book on my TBR and think "Was this a mistake? Was my goodreads account hacked? Why would I mark this as to read??" So like you, I am pretty picky now!
ReplyDeleteLOL So I'm not alone! :) About a year ago I went thru my GoodReads TBR and weeded it out like crazy. I was brutal about it. I had lost interest in so much stuff that I had added ages ago. And yeah, some of it was like, "Did someone else add this? Was I having an out of body experience?" LOL
DeleteI try to be picky about what I add to my tbr list as well, but it still manages to get longer and never shorter! I've not read any of these books, but the covers are gorgeous. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteI think it's every reader's bane: the ever-growing TBR! :)
DeleteI've had my eye on Eliza and Her Monsters. But yea, I'm not that discriminating on my list. Well...maybe just a little. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing good reviews of Eliza and Her Monsters so hopefully we'll both enjoy it.
DeleteOh I can't wait to hear what you think of the Night mark. I Loved it. My review is coming up soon. she is one of my top authors :)
ReplyDeleteThat is so great to hear!! It will be my first by Reisz and I get the feeling it's unlike her other stuff. Can't wait to see your review!
DeleteEliza made my list too. And I just reviewed Violet Grenade yesterday---it's a bit of a head-trip, but I kind of loved it anyway. :-)
ReplyDeleteNicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction
Your review of Violet Grenade got me even more intrigued!
DeleteThe cover for The Light We Lost is so beautiful! I also can't wait for Eliza, too. Great list, Tanya. :)
ReplyDeleteI love that cover, too! The reviews I've been seeing for it are pretty mixed but I still have high hopes.
DeleteI received Eliza and her Monsters recently am hoping to get to it soon! I've seen such positive reviews for it! :)
ReplyDeleteStacy Renee @ Lazy Day Literature
Oh how exciting! I've seen great reviews, too. I hope you'll love it!
DeleteJust Friends seems so cute!! And I can't wait to read Eliza and her Monsters as well as Words in Deep Blue. <3
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for Just Friends. I received an arc and it looks like it's right up my alley. :)
DeleteI see so many books I want to read: Sivac and Bennett and The Light We Lost. Great list!
ReplyDeleteSam @ WLABB
I've yet to read anything by Tara Sivec even though I hear great things about her books. I have high hopes for The Story of Us!
DeleteI TRY not to add too many books to my wish list on Amazon or to-read list on Goodreads, but it's difficult some days. I REALLY want to read Eliza and Her Monsters.
ReplyDeleteI am seeing rave review after rave review of Eliza and Her Monsters. It has me super excited to get my hands on the book!
DeleteI read Eliza and Words in Deep Blue, and I really liked both! Violet Grenade is on my TBR too, I really want to read that one! Hope you get to read these soon, and that you enjoy them!
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing nothing but raves for Eliza. Makes me even more excited to get my hands on the book. And Words in Deep Blue seems so up my alley.
DeleteThe Night Mark looks great. I hope you get to read all of these, and that they meet your expectations.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jazmen. I've read some mixed reviews of The Night Mark but I still have high hopes for it. *fingers are crossed*
DeleteI`ve heard amazing things about "Words in Depp Blue". Also, "Eliza and Her Monsters" sounds interesting, so I`m hoping it`s good.

Words in Deep Blue sounds like it's right up my alley so I very excited about that one. And even though Eliza and Her Monsters isn't my typical read, all the fantastic reviews have me intrigued!
