Today I get to talk about the last 10 books that I’ve added to my wishlist. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is a freebie, so I want to share the latest books that I’ve added to my wishlist. Most of the time I use my Goodreads to-read shelf to add all the books that I want to read, even if I don’t have them. It’s an easy way for me to keep an eye on books coming out or simple older books that I just want to read. So here we go, these are the last 10 books that I’ve added to my wishlist.
The Lady Rogue by Jenn Bennett: Well there is no surprise that this one is on my TBR. A historical fiction fantasy, um yes, please. Theodora has always dreamed about treasure hunting with her father, but when he chooses Huck, her ex-love as his travelling companion. Now Theodora is alone in her hotel room. Until Huck arrives back without her father. Now Theodora and Huck have to come together to find him. It’s then they learn what her father has been searching for. A magical ring that once belonged to Vlad the Impaler aka Dracula. But they aren’t the only ones looking for it.
The Burning Shadow (Origin #2) by Jennifer L. Armentrout: A couple of months ago I read the first book in this series and now I can’t wait to find out what’s going to happen next. After the events of the book first, I know that The Burning Shadow is going to as intense and addicting. Evelyn Dasher found out not only a lot of the Luxen but herself when she was thrown into Luc’s world and now she has to come to terms with everything she found out, but that is not the only threat simmering away.
Chasing Lucky by Jenn Bennett: Another Jenn Bennett contemporary, hell yeah! When Josie Saint-Martin returns to mothers hometown to run her grandmother bookstore she tries to pull off the ultimate camouflage. She dates the most popular boy in town until he breaks up with her during his high school graduation party. But when Josie tries to get revenge, it backfires, massively. Now she has to spend her summer doing community service along with Lucky Karras. In a town where secrets and gossip rise, there is bound to be trouble.
Truly Madly Royally by Debbie Rigaud: I’ve been hearing a lot of things about this one lately and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Zora Emerson wants to change the world, and when she gets invited to a prestigious summer program, she is all in. Even if she feels out of place. What she didn’t expect was to meet Owen. A prince of an island off the coast of England. Then Owen invites her back home for his brother wedding and Zoe is thrown into the spotlight. Can she survive this new crazy?
These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong: This one is being pitched as a Romeo and Juliet retelling mixed with the Godfather. When a monster awakens in 1920s Shanghai it stirs trouble between two rival gangs. Roma Montagov and Juliette Cai, heirs of the rival gangs, need to work together before the monster destroys everything.
Something to Talk About by Meryl Wilsner: This one sounds like a cute as, queer romance that I will devour. When tabloids declare that a famous female Hollywood showrunner and her female assistant are dating. Not only are both their jobs are threatened, but also their credibility. And as rumours spread things start to get harder. But what happens when they realise that the rumours might be true.
Ziggy, Stardust and Me by James Brandon: This one sounds like it’s going to be both heartbreaking. In a time when the Vietnam War is still going strong and homosexuality is still officially considered a mental illness, Jonathan escapes to his imaginative safe haven to get through it all. With his hero David Bowie’s Ziggy Stardust and dead relatives, including his mother, he can be anyone he wants to be there, including a boy that doesn’t like other boys. And when he completes his treatments, he will be normal—at least he hopes. Then he meets Web and he is everything that Jonathan than wishes he was, including not ashamed of being gay. And he is the first people in his life that sees him for him.
The Rakess (Society of Sirens #1) by Scarlett Peckham: I don’t know much about this one except it follows female rakes who weaponize their scandalous reputations to fight for justice and the love they deserve along the way. For those that don’t know, I’ve been really getting into historical romance lately and sounds right up my alley.
Girl Gone Viral (Modern Love #2) by Alisha Rai: When a viral tweet sends Katrina King into the spotlight, all she wants to is hide. And that’s what happens when her bodyguard and somewhat secret crush, Jas Singh, takes her away to his family home. Now alone in a remote setting, feelings come to the surface Katrine doesn’t know if she can trust herself when it comes to love, even if Jas is droppings hints.
House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig: Annaleigh lives a sheltered life with her sisters, father and stepmother. But they were once twelve, and now the halls of Highmoor are lonely. Because four of the girls are dead, with each death even worse than before. There is also the whispers that her family is cursed. But with her sisters sneaking out every night to attend glittering balls, Annaleigh doesn’t know if she should stop them or join them. And then she meets a mysterious stranger who has secrets of his own.
