I can (sadly) relate to this week's topic all too well. I have SO many books on my shelf this applies to, and like you, I'm sure I could have pulled MANY more to feature. I go through mine once a year or so (though currently it's been longer) and get rid of some either by selling or donating them, and always hope whoever buys/finds them will enjoy them which is more than I can say for them sitting on my shelf! ;) Thanks so much for visiting my website today!

What the Wind Knows in another by Amy Harmon that I have yet to read. I have really fallen behind with her last 2-3 releases! My husband just recently read The Wager and really enjoyed it. Fly Away was pretty good, but I really loved Firefly Lane. Hope you will get to these sooner rather than later. :)

I've heard great things about The Wager!

Yes, Homecoming is better than the one before! I’m on the fence about Wager. He’s a great writer but the subject matter isn’t calling to me. Diamond Eye is good but the idea of an assassin is a bit troubling. I remember enjoying What the Wind Knows. Lots of great possibilities here! ~Carol @ ReadingLadies

Great list, Susan! I've never read What the Wind Knows and A Girl Called Samson, but I adored Where the Lost Wander. I read Hester, and it was good too. Happy Wednesday!

What the Wind Knows is my favorite by the author, if you loved the others two, you will love that too, is amazing

I could have listed more than 10 too 🤣

I hope that you enjoy them when you get to them. In the meantime they make great decorations for your shelves 😂

Have a great week!

Homecoming and Hester are ones that I could have added to my list too.

The Wager is a book I definitely would like to read. I get so mad at myself when I go ahead and buy a book available (though with a long waiting list) at the library.

I have only read one book from Hannah, but she is so loved by readers. I feel like you can't go wrong pushing that one up your list.

You have picked some amazing books for this list! The covers are all incredibly beautiful!

Nice list, these all look good. You've reminded me I have Firefly Lane on my shelves too. I added The Wager to my wishlist when it first came out. Happy reading when you get to these!

Our Missing Hearts was so good, and it really hit very close to home for me. The Silo trilogy was also really good! I hope you enjoy all of these books!

Damn girl, it's like you pulled half of these from my list of books I was excited for the release of, but never actually acquired a copy of the book or followed up on reading it after release. I did read Our Missing Hearts and adored it, and Hester is outstanding as well. But you've reminded me about so many books on my TBR that I forgot about and need to read!

We have such similar reading tastes... even if you only consider the books we HAVEN'T read. :) Molokai has been on my shelf for more years than I can count, and still haven't read it -- and now that Daughters of Molokai exists too, I really need to make it happen!

This happens to me more often than I care to admit haha. The Wager and Celeste Ng's latest both fall into this category for me too. I'd also add in Dolly Alderton's Good Material as a newer release that is still waiting for me. I think my oldest would be Tea Obreaht's The Tiger's Wife. I bought that one over a decade ago, and still haven't read it!

Totally understand your pain. I buy books right away so I don't forget about them and then they sit until I have time to read them. By then, other books have come out.

How to Keep House While Drowning sounds great. Hope you get to read these soon.

I've read Firefly Lane ages ago and I didn't even know there was a sequel! I might check it out in the future after I reread the first book 😊
Happy TTT (even though I'm a bit late and it's Friday 😂)

That shelf of shame seems to grow and grow, doesn't it? Maybe someday we'll get around to reading all the books we own. Right? ;D

I don't know how I'll ever catch up to mine but that's okay!! haha. Hester was actually a really great read! I hope you get to some of these soon! :)

I have read one book by Kate Morton (The Clockmaker's Daughter) which I quite liked. So, I am looking forward to seeing what you think of this one.

this phenomenon is really inexplicable. Why do we not read the books we were yearning for? The ship wreck book appeals to me. I'll search for it. thanks for visiting my blog and leaving the link. Sorry for the delay in visiting.

I’ve heard good things about Hester.

Thank you for stopping by earlier!

I've been wanting to read Kate Quinn and Amy Harmon books forever. Hope you'll love all of these, no matter when you get to them!

I finally got around to reading Homecoming this year and really enjoyed it and I've only read one Kate Quinn but I desperately want to read more. I have How to Clean House While Drowning on my TBR. I think I could have made a list of 100 on this topic!
