TTT: Spring (Reading) Has Sprung!
2:25 PM
I'm a day late to the Top Ten Tuesday party this week, but I love seasonal TBR lists so much that I didn't want to miss out on the fun! I can't wait to see what everyone's reading this Spring. Even though this season is all about sunshine, renewal, rebirth, and soft, pastel-colored days, my reading for the upcoming months is kind of the opposite. I'm in need of some light, happy reads to sandwich between these dark, heavy ones, so if you've got some great Spring-ish recommendations, hit me up!
Without further ado, here are the Top Ten Books on My Spring TBR:
1. The Lost Man by Jane Harper—I've enjoyed Harper's two previous books, so I'm looking forward to her newest. I wish it were another installment in her Aaron Falk series, but this one's a standalone. It revolves around two brothers trying to get to the bottom of a third brother's suspicious death in the Queensland outback.
2. Daughter of Moloka'i by Alan Brennert—I loved Moloka'i when I read it back in 2007 and am delighted that a sequel just came out. Right now I'm re-reading Moloka'i so I can remember who's who and what's what, then I'll move on to its sequel.
3. The Vanishing Stair by Maureen Johnson—My teen daughter and I both really enjoyed Truly Devious, a YA mystery set in a remote boarding school. When my daughter spied the sequel at Half-Price Books, she begged me to buy it. Let's just say it didn't take much convincing! We're both excited to delve into this one.
4. The Last Voyage of Poe Blythe by Ally Condie (available March 26, 2019)—This YA novel about a young woman who captains the last mining ship in the Outpost sounds like a riveting adventure story.
5. The Darkdeep by Ally Condie and Brendan Reichs—I picked up this MG adventure tale at Half-Price Books as well (I canNOT be trusted in a bookstore). It sounds eerie and fun. I can't wait to dive in!
6. The Daughter's Tale by Armando Lucas Correa (available May 7, 2019)—This dual-timeline historical novel is about a French-American woman in the present who receives a stack of letters her mother wrote during WWII. As the woman unravels the secrets of her past, she discovers some surprising truths. Sounds like my kind of book!
7. The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins (available May 21, 2019)—An ARC of this intriguing novel landed on my doorstep recently. It's about a servant, a former slave, who's accused of murdering her employer and his wife. Frannie claims she can't remember anything about the incident. As her court case progresses, shocking secrets will out. Sounds tantalizing, doesn't it?
8. Woman 99 by Greer Macallister—This historical thriller concerns a woman who's distraught when her sister is committed to an infamous insane asylum. Desperate to protect her sibling, she follows her inside to discover a wealth of atrocities being performed against the helpless and hopeless. Sounds heartbreaking but compelling.
9. The Strangers by Margaret Peterson Haddix—I enjoy this author's books, even though they're a bit hit and miss for me. Still, they often have unique and intriguing premises, which I always appreciate. Her newest centers on three children who are shocked when they hear of a trio of kidnapped children who bear remarkable similarities to themselves. Could these groups of children be one and the same?
10. How High the Moon by Karyn Parsons—This MG historical novel stars a light-skinned African-American girl whose mother is away pursuing a Jazz career. When Ella visits her over Christmas, she learns some shocking truths about her family. Returning to the South, she's in for another unpleasant surprise. As Ella deals with life's curveballs, she must figure out who she really is and what she truly wants. I'm in.
So, there you have it, a few books that are really tempting me for Spring reading. How about you? What will you be enjoying this season? I'd truly love to know. Leave me a comment on this post and I'll gladly return the favor.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
