Top Ten Tuesday is a book blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Books on My TBR That I Predict Will Be 5-Star Reads. My list is a mixture of new releases and novels I've had on my TBR forever.
Burn Our Bodies Down by Rory Power - I absolutely LOVED Wilder Girls. It was creepy and sinister and completely unexpected. Power's new novel, Burn Our Bodies Down which comes out in July, focuses on Margot, a young woman who wants to know her past. She finds a picture pointing her to a town called Phalane. I guess some weird shit happens once she gets there. The description is intriguing, and I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on a copy.
The Splendid and the Vile by Erik Larson - Larson writes awesome non-fiction novels that really makes you feel like you're actually there. His work is engaging and well-researched. Larson's latest work will be a profile on Winston Churchill.
Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane Moriarty - I really enjoyed Big Little Lies so I'm looking forward to reading more of Moriarty's work. This novel centers around nine people gathered at a remote health resort where apparently some stuff goes down.
The Girl in the Tower by Katherine Arden - The second installment in the Winternight Trilogy, I'm expecting The Girl in the Tower to be a fantastic, mystical read just like the first novel.
A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly - I've seen good reviews for this novel and, even though it's older (2004), I'm still looking forward to reading it. A sixteen-year-old who works at a motel finds a stack of burning letters which may hold the truth behind another young woman's murder.
The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters - Cat Winters writes in-depth historical novels with super interesting storylines and inspiring illustrations. I recently purchased The Cure for Dreaming, so I'll be picking it up soon.
You by Caroline Kepnes - There's a lot of hype surrounding this novel and, as most everyone knows, inspired the Netflix series. The novel is unique in that it's from the stalker's perspective so I'll be hopefully picking it up soon. I've been wanting to read it for several years now but it hadn't been at my local library and I hadn't gotten around to purchasing it yet.
Recursion by Blake Crouch - I read Dark Matter by this author and it completely blew my mind. Based on that novel alone, when I saw Recursion on sale at Amazon, I just had to get it. A Goodreads Choice 2019 winner, the story follows a New York City cop who is investigating a phenomenon in which victims are driven made with memories of a life they've never lived. I imagine it'll be just as crazy and mind-bending as his other work.
Little Darlings by Melanie Golding - I've seen good reviews for Little Darlings. From what I understand, a woman believes her child has been switched with a creature. It sounds dark and weird AF which is what I love.
Artemis by Andy Weir - I loved The Martin and have yet to read more of Weir's work. Artemis was a Goodreads 2017 winner. I know it's a sci-fi but that's pretty much it.
What does your list look like?
