Top Ten Tuesday: Who Has Time to Clean When There's Reading to Be Done?
8:45 AM
Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is a Spring cleaning freebie, but let's be honest here...I hate cleaning. I'd much rather put my feet up and read a book on the couch than dust, scrub, vacuum, or sweep. In keeping with this theme, I'm going to avoid today's prompt and spring forward a week and do next week's Top Ten Books On My Spring TBR instead. Since there are so many great-sounding books coming out in the next few months, I'm going to focus my list on upcoming releases. As usual, I'll do it in two parts because, you know how it is when you want to read ALL the things.
If you want to join in the TTT fun (and you do), head on over to That Artsy Reader Girl for all the details.
Top Ten Upcoming Releases on My Spring TBR List
1. In a Book Club Far Away by Tif Marcelo (available April 6, 2021)—This contemporary novel features three Army wives who bond through a book club, which is later disbanded because of a shocking betrayal among its members. When one of the former friends sends out a plea for help, the others come to her rescue. As they work through old hurts, they'll have to decide whether or not their broken friendship is worth salvaging.
2. All the Children Are Home by Patry Francis (available April 13, 2021)—Set in the 1950s and 60s, this historical novel revolves around a set of foster parents who reluctantly takes in an indigenous girl who has been horribly abused. The child, who knows next to nothing about herself or her Native American roots, just might be the family's salvation.
3. Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia (available March 30, 2021)—This family saga features family history, secrets, and fraught mother/daughter relationships, all with a Cuban flair.
4. A Trail of Lies by Kylie Logan (available May 11, 2021)—I enjoy the Jazz Ramsey mystery series, so I'm excited to read this third installment. An ARC of A Trail of Lies just landed on my doorstep, so it's next on my list. The story features more dead bodies for Jazz's canine to find and more murders for her to solve.
5. The Women of Chateau Lafayette by Stephanie Dray (available March 30, 2021)—This historical novel has three timelines, all which center around a French castle and the women who defend it.
6. A Million Reasons Why by Jessica Strawser (available March 23, 2021)—You all know I love a good DNA/family history story and this one sounds compelling. It's about two sisters who find each other through a mail-in DNA test. The shocking discovery changes both of their lives.
7. The Haunting of Alma Fielding by Kate Summerscale (available April 27, 2021)—I don't believe in ghosts, but I'm still a sucker for a haunting story. This "true" account sounds like fun, even if it seems more appropriate for Fall than Spring.
8. Last Gate of the Emperor by Kwame Mbalia and Prince Joel Makonnen (available May 4, 2021)—I need an Afrofuturist book for a reading challenge prompt and this middle grade sci-fi/fantasy adventure sounds fun.
9. The Vines by Shelley Nolden (available March 23, 2021)—For several decades, North Brother Island, New York, was used for quarantining patients with infectious diseases like tuberculosis and small pox. Long abandoned, but still covered in crumbling medical buildings, it's off-limits to visitors. When an urban explorer sneaks onto the land and spies a beautiful woman hiding in the ghost town, he becomes obsessed with learning her story.
10. The Kew Garden Girls by Posy Lovell (available April 20, 2021)—With World War I in full swing, able-bodied male workers are scarce in London. Determined to do their part on the home front, Ivy and Louisa enlist, becoming laborers at the Royal Botanic Gardens. Not everyone is pleased to have women doing men's jobs, however, and problems quickly ensue.
There you go, ten upcoming releases I'm looking forward to reading. Which new titles are you interested in? What's on your Spring TBR list? I'd truly love to know. Leave me a comment on this post and I will gladly return the favor on your blog.
Happy TTT!
