Top Ten Tuesday: My Latest and Greatest
1:00 AM
It's Tuesday and you know what that means—it's time for another edition of Top Ten Tuesday, my favorite bookish meme. If you want to join in the fun (and you really do), click on over to That Artsy Reader Girl, read a few instructions, make your own list, then spend some happy hours hopping around the book blogosphere. It's a great way to spread some love in our community, discover new blogs, and, of course, get more recommendations for your TBR
This week's topic is Top Ten Most Recent Additions to My TBR List. Since I add books constantly to my TBR list on Goodreads, I can't remember which titles are the literal last ten I added. So, I'm just going to talk about ten I've added recently that I'm really excited about. Sound good? Here we go:
Top Ten Most Recent Additions to My TBR List:
1. The Personal History of Rachel DuPree by Ann Weisgarber—I'm in the middle of Weisgarber's newest historical novel, The Glovemaker (available February 5, 2019), which I'm enjoying. Weisbarger's written a couple of other books, but this is the one I most want to read. It's about a black family trying to survive on South Dakota's drought-dry plains in 1917.
2. The Night Visitors by Carol Goodman—I'm a big fan of Goodman's Gothic thrillers and her newest sounds like another intriguing read. It concerns an abused woman and her son who are stranded in the middle of a snowstorm in New York. A stranger takes them in for the night. As the blizzard worsens outside, shocking secrets are being revealed inside ...
3. The Hidden by Mary Chamberlain (available February 7, 2019)—I can't resist a dual-timeline novel that features WWII, so I'm drawn to this one about a young German woman trying to find a mysterious woman who appears in an old photograph of her mother's.
4. Home for Erring and Outcast Girls by Julie Kibler (available July 30, 2019)—I loved Kibler's 2012 debut, Calling Me Home, and I've been waiting anxiously for her to publish something else. This one, her sophomore novel, is a dual-timeline novel about a woman in the present who's seeking to uncover the history of a home that once offered "ruined" girls hope and help.
5. The Orphan of Salt Winds by Elizabeth Brooks—A newly-adopted orphan arrives at her mysterious new home on the edge of a marsh. She soon discovers that her adoptive parents have a house full of secrets and lies. While trying to make sense of her new world, her life is rocked again when a German airman crashes in the marsh. What happens next will haunt her for the rest of her life. Sounds good, no?
6. The Bridge Home by Padma Venkatraman (available February 5, 2019)—This middle grade novel is about a group of children trying to survive on the streets of India. Sounds heartbreaking, but intriguing.
7. The Unsung Hero of Birdsong, USA by Brenda Woods—Another middle grade novel, this one revolves around a young boy who's saved from a car accident by a black WWII veteran. As a thank you, the boy gets his rescuer a job at his dad's auto shop. This is the Jim Crow South, however, so there's tension, even as the boy discovers just how much of a hero the vet really is.
8. Where Dandelions Bloom by Tara Johnson (available July 1, 2019)—I'm fascinated by true stories of women who disguised themselves as men in order to serve in the Civil War. This novel is about a young woman looking for a way to escape an abusive home and finding herself—and true love—on the battlefield.
9. The Woman in the White Kimono by Ana Johns (available May 28, 2019)—Another dual-timeline novel (my favorite!), this one concerns a Japanese woman who is cast out when her traditional family discovers that she's pregnant with the child of an American sailor.
10. Apple of My Eye by Claire Allan—This psychological thriller about a pregnant woman who's receiving threatening notes that call into question her husband's loyalty and her own ability to be a mother, sounds intriguing.
So, there you have it, ten of the most recent additions to my TBR mountain chain. What do you think of my selections? Have you read any of these? What titles have you added to your TBR list lately? I'm truly interested to know. Leave me a comment on this post and I will gladly return the favor on your blog.
Happy TTT!
