The Top Ten Tuesday prompt for this week is all about your spring TBR. Since I don’t really plan ahead much (I get too obsessed) and I’m writing this post two weeks before it goes live (I like to be organised), this is a somewhat random selection, and I might have got round to them by the time this goes live…
- Sarah J. Maas, A Court of Thorns and Roses. I should get round to this soon, since the publishers were kind enough to grant me access on Netgalley, and I actually have yet to read anything by Maas. Everyone’s so enthusiastic… I’ll get there soon!
- Karen Maitland, The Raven’s Head. Also an ARC, though I’ve read just about everything Maitland’s written so far. I’m hoping this one breaks the mould a bit, though.
- Emma Healey, Elizabeth is Missing. The idea of this really intrigues me. It should be waiting for me at the library as I write, so I should be reading it soon. I might find it a bit upsetting, though; apparently the portrayal of dementia and mental illness is very good.
- Joe Abercrombie, Half a King. It’s about time, that’s all I can say.
- Guy Gavriel Kay, The Lions of Al-Rassan. The next in my project of rereading all Kay’s books in publication order. (The idea is to watch his writing improve/change with experience, though oddly enough his earliest novels are probably my favourites.)
- Sam Kean, The Tale of the Duelling Neurosurgeons. I’ve been recommended this, neurology is fascinating, I might want to become a neurologist, and the library has it. What more could I wish for?
- Melissa Grey, The Girl at Midnight. Just got approved for this on Netgalley after a long wait, and it was in a previous Top Ten Tuesday as a book I was particularly looking forward to. Ergo, I have no excuse.
- Carrie Vaughn, After the Golden Age. This is a reread I’ve been meaning to get round to for a long time. I think there’s another book now, too!
- Gail Carriger, Changeless. I don’t want to end up waiting ages and ages to read this and forgetting everything about the first. Too bad I’m so easily di
- Susanna Kearsley, Named of the Dragon. Arthurian connection, you say? Set in Wales, you say? I’m there.
And probably all of these are going to appear again on my summer TBR, knowing me…
I love planning my reading and having themes for months etc. I stick to it for a while and then I can’t be bothered for a while! I’m doing well with horror month for March so hopefully I’ll stick to my spring tbr reads list! Nice list-a good mixture of books which I hope you enjoy/have enjoyed!
I love it too, but I’m so bad at sticking to it — I get an urge to read something else, push myself to read my list, and end up sulking at all of it!
SARAH J MAAS! ACOTAR! Aaaaahh *flails*
I haven’t read it either, but I have high expectations after Throne of Glass tho XD
I still need to read A Throne of Glass et al…
Great mix of new and old titles! Very excited to see Guy Gavriel Kay on this list, Lions of Al-Rassan was the first book I’ve ever read by him and made me a fan forever. His writing is so beautiful.
I do love GGK. <3 The only one of his I haven't read yet is River of Stars.
