It’s another Top Ten Tuesday and this week it’s books on my Top Ten Tuesday.
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Here are the books on to read list for this Spring.
I enjoy any retelling of Arthurian tales, so this one featuring a modern and diverse cast sounds perfect.
Our Violent Ends by Chloe Gong
I wasn’t too sure about the first part of this duology- a fantasy Romeo and Juilet retelling in 1930’s Shanghai but I do want to find out how their story ends.
Dark Rise by C.S Pacat
This YA featuring magic and battles of good and evil sounds right up my street.
Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
I’ve read a few reviews for this book, but I have to confess to wanting to read this on the basis of the title alone.
The Surviving Sky by Kritika H Rao
This science-fiction based on Hindu philosophy sounds intriguing
The Bone Shard War by Andrea Stewart
I can’t wait for the third book in this inventive series.
The Ten Percent Thief by Lavanya Laksminarayan
This high tech sci-fi set in the future with a privileged 10 per cent of society somehow doesn’t seem that far-fetched.
Thank you for visiting.

Beat the backlog. Again
I tried to do this last and was doing so well until life and work got in the way. So I am going to again in 2023 and read those eBooks vegetating on my kindle,

It’s Top Ten Tuesday again and this week’s theme is Authors I discovered in 2021( that were new to me). 2021 was a good reading year( for me anyway) and I discovered so many great authors via book blogs or Twitter. I think it will be a challenge narrowing this down to ten but here we go, in no particular order
Andrea Stewart
The Bone Shard Emperor’s daughter ( review here) was one of the first few books I blogged about. I loved the far Eastern-influenced fantasy with a unique magical system starring my favourite smuggler turned reluctant hero.
K. D Edwards
The Tarot Card sequence series( review here) rekindled my love for urban fantasy and I can’t wait for the next book in the series. This urban fantasy is based on the fact that tarot cards are based on magical people from Atalanta who have now created a new home in the USA-how could I not love a premise like that!
Sarah M Stephen
I was hooked by Dead by False Creek ( review here), an intriguing timeslip/historical murder set in Canada which I read via NetGalley. This author has been added to my ever-growing list to keep track of.
Luke Arnold
I have to confess I really enjoyed Luke Arnold’s role in Black Sails a tv show with sexy pirates, so this may have had an influence on me picking up Last Smile In Sunder City ( series review)but I’m so glad I did. The Fetch Philips series is an urban fantasy with a touch of noir.
Sarah J Daley
I picked Obsidian ( review here) on the amazing cover but I stayed for the story, world-building and the amazing heroine. I look forward to reading this author’s future books
Patricia A Jackson
Forging a Nightmare( review) was a genuinely diverse book with an unusual biblical theme. Anaba, a warrior forged from the combination of a human soul and hell horse was one of the most complex characters I have read. So anyone who can create a character like Anaba is a writer worth following.
Freya Marske
I don’t think I have to go into too much detail about why Freya Marske is a great writer but A Marvellous Light ( review here) was one of my favourite reads- a touching romance at its heart, a genuine-pick-me up in these dark covid times.
Mike Brooks
I haven’t read any of other Mike Brooks but in Black Coast ( review here ), he manages to create a story of acceptance and belonging on a background of intrigue, dragons and lots of cultural misunderstanding.
Leonara Nattrass
Black drop ( review here) was my favourite historical fiction from last year and I hope we see more Laurence Jago, the reluctant spy.
RN Morris
Mannequin House
Silas Quinn became my favourite detective last year after I read the Mannequin House ( review here) and I’m slowly making my way through the other books in the series.
Aparna Verma
The Boy with Fire( review here) stole a little piece of my reading heart with its epic scale, its blend of science fiction and fantasy and Indian inspired world-building. So yes, I am now quietly Twitter stalking the author’s Twitter account to be sure I don’t miss the next book in the series.
