Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Most Recent Additions to My To-Read List

Written by Brooke K.

For this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, I was tasked with choosing ten books on my to-read list. Books have the ability to transport readers to new worlds and teach important lessons. The books below are ones that I am looking forward to reading in 2025.

1. Queen Bee- Amalie Howard - a newish book I’ve been meaning to read for a while
2. Chaos Theory- Nic Stone- a story from an author with many other books that I have enjoyed reading.   
3. Icarus- K Ancrum- I am interested to see how she weaves Greek mythology into the plot. 
4. Peaches- Jodie Lynn Anderson- The title reminds me of the Justin Bieber song.  
5. We’ll Always Have Summer - Jenny Han - This is the final book in a series that I love. 

6. Wildfire- Ferin Davis Anderson- It is really important to learn about what is happening in California. 
7. Adventures of Mary Jane - Hope Jahren -I read Huckleberry Finn in school and am interested in how Jahren imagines Mary Jane's life.  
8. Love Requires Chocolate- Ravynn Stringfield- Chocolate is one of my favorite foods so I was intrigued by the title. 
9. In Want of a Suspect- Tirzah Price- It is new to the library and I have seen good reviews about it online.  
10. A Queen’s Game- Katharine McGee-  The author also wrote American royals which I really liked. 

 

Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Provide a Much Needed Escape

Written by Grace H.

Welcome back to TBG’s Top Ten Tuesday! 

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, Top Ten Tuesday is a widespread trend in which book bloggers create a “Top Ten” list in response to a different topic each week.

This week’s theme is… Books that provide a much needed escape!!

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi: even if I am escaping to a world scarier than my own, it’s still an entertaining setting to visit and read about!

American Royals by Katharine McGee: this carefully-crafted dystopian setting in which royals rule America is a fun and interesting read (and the new America is nothing like the one that we know!).

An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir: this fast-paced fantasy series will whisk you away from the normal world and problems that come with it.

The Selection by Kiera Cass: while reading, you’ll be too busy worrying about America’s love triangle, that you will forget about all your own problems!

Every Day by David Levithan: this book switches perspectives multiple times, and you’ll never get bored as the narrator moves from body to body as a spirit.

As Good as Dead by Holly Jackson: the thrilling scenes in this novel will make you completely lose track of time while reading

Anatomy: a Love Story by Dana Schwartz: this book completely transported me to another time period, and the characters will certainly hold your attention.

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares: this lighthearted read will fill your mind with heartwarming tales of friendship and happiness.

The Summer of Broken Rules by KL Walther: this novel will bring you back to the joyful emotions that come with summer and spending time with family.

The Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas: my all time favorite fantasy series, this complex fantasy world and its characters will keep you enthralled for all seven novels!

What books are your favorite escapes?
