Top Ten Tuesday ~ The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Bookshelf

Posted on January 21, 2020 by alisbooks

Ali here ~

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.

Happy Tuesday everyone!! I hope your week has gotten off to a good start! Today’s Top Ten topic is The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Bookshelf.

I’m using my physical bookshelves for this prompt rather than my virtual shelves ~

Pride by Ibi Zoboi (bought)
Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston (bought)
Irresistible by Melanie Harlow (Bookworm Box)
The Huntress by Kate Quinn (gifted)
Twice in a Blue Moon by Christina Lauren (gifted)
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern (gifted)
Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw (OwlCrate Box)
The Guinevere Deception by Kiersten White (OwlCrate Box)
Denial by Tabitha Black (won)
Restraint by Tabitha Black (won)

These are not necessarily in the order I received them, and I can’t even promise these were the last 10 physical books I added, but I went with my best guesses.

What books did you most recently add to your physical shelves? Or do you prefer ebooks, audiobooks, or borrowed books?
Happy Reading,
Ali

RW&RB was money well spent. Ditto for Illuminae. I thought Pride was excellent too.

  Yay! Glad you enjoyed them all!! Illuminae is a reread that I’m looking forward to. Last time I read it on kindle and I wanted to experience it in a physical format this time.

    I had the ARC from BEA for over a year. Regrets! I cannot believe I waited that long to read it. I heard the audio is amazing.

I see a few books that I have on my shelf. I need to read The Guinevere Deception and Winterwood from my Owlcrate boxes. I have an arc of The Huntress that I still need to get to…oops. I loved Red, White & Royal Blue.

  I read Winterwood, but I haven’t got to The Guinevere Deception or The Huntress yet. I’m glad you loved Red, White, and Royal Blue. I’m really looking forward to picking it up next month!

    I tried to read it on my Kindle, but I just couldn’t. The physical experience was much better for me. I hope you enjoy it! I love that the book’s a little different experience depending on what format you read it in.

Illuminae is so good! I loved that series. That’s saying a lot because I don’t normally like that genre.

  Yes, I read the first two books forever ago, but waited too long before picking up the third book. So, now I need to reread them. The first time I read it on my kindle, so I’m thrilled to experience it in the format it was meant to be experienced in this time!!

    I read the first book in hardback and listened to the second too. Listening was really cool too. They had different narrators.

Melanie Harlow is one of those authors I’ve been meaning to read for a long time. Irresistible and the rest of the Cloverleigh Farms series is on my TBR.

  I haven’t read much by her. I can only think of one book she co-authored with Corinne Michaels, but I’m definitely looking forward to reading more.

Ooh, that edition of Pride is SO gorgeous (I love it so much more than the original) but I was pretty disappointed with the story lol I totally forgot about Winterwood and The Guinevere Deception for today’s list 😂 Great list!

I don’t really read romance but I have been wanting to try Red, White & Royal Blue since EVERYONE was talking about that one last year and I haven’t heard a bad thing.

  Yes, I really enjoyed it. I just lost too many details after I read it and the second book. I waited too long before I picked up the third book.
