Hello! Yesterday got away from me and I just didn't have time to post my TTT. Top Ten Tuesday
1- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid
I read this book over the summer of last year and I feel in love. Every part of this book was fantastic and so deserves the hype. I would love to read more of Taylor Jenkins Reid backlist, I've only read Evelyn Hugo, and Daisy Jones and the Six.
2- Comic Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks
This was a buy based on a blurb I read on Goodreads or Book Riot, and I read it when it came out in Feb of last year. I was very impressed with this debut and I can't wait to see more from this author. I've spoken about this book a lot, but I feel like nobody else I've seen around the blogging community has read it. It's Contemporary YA with a huge nod to comics.
3- Romanov by Nadine Brandes
This Anastasia retelling was everything!!!! I forget how I found out about it, but I definitely devoured this story and during my busiest month of the year no less. The story was a fantastic mix of Historical Fiction and Fantasy with the elements of magic. If you enjoy Anastasia, I recommend this because it was a new take that I had never seen before.
4- The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
If you've been following for me for a while, you know that I don't really read Fantasy, unless it's hyped up like ACOTAR and The Grisha Verse. I followed the hype train and read this book, and I loved it. This was my first book of the year, the world and the characters captured me. This Year, I would really love to finish the trilogy.
5- The Wicked King by Holly Black
I followed The Cruel Prince with this not long after it came out. The story was delightful, I still don't know what book I enjoyed more. I disliked Taryn, and I want to try to find the Novella where we find out about her and her intentions .
6- What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera
This was such an adorable Meet Cute. As a fan of musicals, I loved the musical theater references. The title is a reference to a popular musical, so I knew from that this would be an auto-buy from me. Ben and Arthur were so cute and I really enjoyed getting to know them.
7-All I Know Now: Wonderings and Reflections on Growing Up
Gracefully by Carrie Hope Fletcher
This is a Non-Fiction book by a West End Actress, and I love supporting actors when they come out with memoirs. Carrie is also a Youtuber with a popular channel, so she has a fanbase that way. The book was so good and I loved all the advice given.
8- The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston
Okay so this was almost Geekerella , and really those two books are tied for this slot. I gave it to The Princess and the Fangirl because of Imogen, her brother, and finding out more Jessica. The story was great, and I loved being back in this world.
9- Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills
I was in a bit of reading slump and this book helped me out of it! The story related to the theatre because the characters perform A Mid Summer Night's Dream. There was drama sure, but there was also a swoony romance. Overall, I would say this is a light story which would be great if you're reading a lot of heavy-duty books.
10- The Enchanted Sonata by Heather Dixon Wallwork
I really should have read this book sooner!!! It was a fabulous mix of Historical Fiction and Fantasy like Romanov. If you know the ballet The Nutcracker, read this because it's a retelling but it also combines another story.
Foolish Hearts does sound interesting!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT .
It was, and it was definitely like nothing I've never read before.
DeleteI haven't finished The Wicked King but I can tell you I hated Taryn in The Cruel Prince and I doubt that's going to change... home girl can choke >:(
ReplyDeleteI disliked her from the start tbh.
DeleteIf you liked Seven Husbands you should read her Daisy Jones!
ReplyDeleteI read it last year as well. I didn't love it as much as Evelyn Hugo, but it was still a solid read for me.
