It’s difficult to predict which books will hit all the right notes to merit a 5-star rating. For this week’s Top Ten Tuesday I picked my ten best guesses – specifically books I plan to read this year – from my TBR pile. Should be fun to compare this list to the actual results!
Featured in the header: The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafón.
Hyped Continuations: Call Down the Hawk, Maggie Stiefvater; Deathless Divide, Justina Ireland; Unravel the Dusk, Elizabeth Lim.
Award-Winning Nonfiction: Five Days at Memorial: Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital, Sheri Fink; Educated, Tara Westover; Voices from Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster, Svetlana Alexievich.
In my Wheelhouse: The Fifth Season, N. K. Jemisin; In the Shadow of Revolution: Life Stories of Russian Women from 1917 to the Second World War, eds. Sheila Fitzpatrick and Yuri Slezkine; Battle Royale, Koushun Takami.
I really need to move Dread Nation to the top of my TBR. The sequel to it sounds so good.
My TTT .
Dread Nation was a case where the blurb didn’t really grab me but I gave it a chance – and it was awesome. I have high hopes for the sequel! 🙂
Call Down the Hawk was good. I hope you love it!
Thank you! 🙂 Maggie Stiefvater is one of those authors whose books I almost always love, so I’m more confident about Call Down the Hawk than some of the others on this list haha.
I read Educated last month and loved it. I hope these turn out to be 5 stars!
Thank you, I hope so too! 🙂
Loved Call Down the Hawk and Educated. Both were five-star reads for me. 🙂
Happy Reading! My Top Ten Tuesday
I’ve heard lots of good things and have high hopes for both of them. 🙂 Thank you for commenting!
