Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
THIS WEEK'S TOPIC:
MY TEN MOST RECENT READS
This week's prompt is super straightforward and simple but I like it.
1) Because it's just so easy to share my last ten reads.
2) I always love to see what others are reading (or have just read).
Starting with the most recent:
Not at all necessary to the series, but interesting to learn more of Cardan's background.
The story went in a direction I didn't expect and that's one of the reasons I love Jennifer Weiner.
Enjoyable enough but not my favorite from Dade.
An emotional, second chance romance - totally enjoyed it.
I loved seeing the male lead come into his own and recognize his worth.
Jax and Tanner were both so lovable.
Sweet, sexy, funny... plus food porn. The total package.
My only complaint is that this novella set during the lockdown was too short. I wanted more.
Keith + Sam's story wasn't my favorite in the Cake series, but it was still a great read.
Nothing memorable, but a solid romance from Keeland.
HAVE YOU READ ANY OF THESE BOOKS?
Great list! love it.

Great list! How the King of Elfhame Learned to Hate Stories made my list this week, too. I need to give Olivia Dade's work a try!
ReplyDeleteOlivia Dade's books have been fun audio reads for - in between other books.
DeleteWhat a nice list. :)

I have a copy of The Invitation on my Kindle and I'm looking forward to reading this author for the first time!
ReplyDeleteI'm still on the fence about the twist at the end, but it was a fun read. :)
DeleteLove seeing you read Olivia Dade! I adore her books! Also yay! I'm glad you liked Make It Sweet!
ReplyDeleteMake It Sweet was such a surprise hit for me. :)
DeleteI agree with you on 40-Love. There was a whole thing that went on too long for me, but I did like the ending a lot.
ReplyDeleteTess made such a huge issue over the age difference and made so many assumptions about Lucas that it rubbed me the wrong way. But I still enjoyed it.
Delete40-Love looks cute.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I've never read anything by Weiner, but THAT SUMMER sounds like one I would like. And if it goes in an unexpected direction (in a good way)? Yes, please! Glad you enjoyed it and all these others.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I definitely recommend That Summer!
DeleteI also love to see what others are reading. And the one sentence reviews are great.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it's fun to be super brief instead of super wordy. :)
DeleteMake It Sweet was on my list, too. So many of the others here are on my TBR.
ReplyDeleteMake It Sweet surprised me with how much I enjoyed it.
DeleteI need to try Teach Me after your comments. I loved Spoiler Alert and then tried 40-Love and it was good but not my favorite. I haven't read anything else by her because of that. I guess I need to give her another go.
ReplyDeleteI think you would enjoy Teach Me. A good story, solid characters, low drama. I definitely liked it better than 40-Love.
DeleteSo much male goodness here Tanya!! LOL
ReplyDeleteDefinitely some eye candy. :)
DeleteI do like this topic! Can you believe that I have never read Jennifer Weiner?
ReplyDeleteIf you enjoy women's fiction at all, she's one I highly recommend!
DeleteI liked this topic! I didn't have to think much lol. That Holly Black series has been on my list for a while, since I keep hearing she's the queen of kick butt fae stories, but I haven't tackled em yet...
ReplyDeleteIt's such a fun series, Greg!
DeleteThose books look great. I've read Could Have Been Us too. Make It Sweet sounds very good too. Who doesn't love a bit of food porn. LOL!!
ReplyDeleteCould Have Been Us was so good!
DeleteIt really doesn't happen that often that I have not read any of the 10 books, and they're not even on my TBR?! Which of the 10 do you highly recommend? :)
ReplyDeleteMake It Sweet and Could Have Been Us were the real highlights. :)
DeleteSounds like wins! I'd like to try Kristen Callihan sometime. Great list, Tanya!
ReplyDeleteI'd only read one other by her. Make It Sweet is definitely worth reading.
DeleteI completely agree about Jennifer Weiner's book. I was not expecting it to go in that direction at all but wow, such a great story.
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to adult/women's fiction she's a real favorite.
DeleteI have Heartscape - and the first two in the "series" that I need to read. I'm curious about That Summer.

Heartscape was such a good one. I loved those guys. :)
DeleteI'm a little curious about The King of Elphame. I saw the physical copy at the bookstore and it's gorgeous. Will I cave??? lol
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
If you *love* The Folk of the Air series and are desperate for more Cardan, I'd say pick it up. The artwork really is lovely. But otherwise it didn't add much to the story/series.
