Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly book meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week, she posts an idea relating to books and encourages other book bloggers to respond with their own top ten lists.
This week’s topic is “my ten most recent reads.” I’ve only read 24 books total so far this year, but I’ve loved almost all of them. Here are the last 10 I read:
Act Your Age, Eve Brown by Talia Hibbert
Absolutely charming, as expected. I think Eve’s story might be my favourite of all of the sisters’, but I’ll have to re-read the series to confirm.
Good Girl, Bad Blood by Holly Jackson
I do still think that A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder could have been a standalone, but this was another solid mystery that I finished in one sitting.
The Duke and I by Julia Quinn
I enjoyed this for the most part, and now I am very curious to see how the other Bridgerton siblings’ stories play out.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
I had to reread this before the Netflix show aired (which I still have to finish watching…), and I’m still 100% of the opinion that this duology was infinitely better than the original Grisha trilogy.
Siege and Storm & Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo
I did a Shadow and Bone reread towards the end of 2020, but figured I should finish these two before starting on my Six of Crows reread. Still don’t like Mal or his tattoo so we’ll see if the show changes my mind!
The Divines by Ellie Eaton
Picked this up because of the cover and was pretty underwhelmed. I expected more substance and drama to the boarding school pieces, and the present-day parts just didn’t work for me.
In Five Years by Rebecca Serle
This book went in a completely different direction than I expected, and it was heartbreakingly beautiful.
A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik
The premise was interesting, but there’s so much exposition and info-dumping that it took a very long time for me to warm up to it.
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
I can certainly see why everyone was raving about this last year!
What recent read have you loved the most?
It’s very cool that you’ve loved almost all of the books you’ve read this year!

It’s odd because last year I didn’t like anything I read, and this year I love everything.
I’m so glad you’ve enjoyed your recent reads!

Omg, so smart to reread some of the Grisha books before the show premiered! And I 100% agree with your comments on Six of Crows haha. My Bridgerton hold at the library has FINALLY arrived after spending at least five months on the Holds list, so I’m excited to dive into that world as well!

It had been so long since I read the series that I knew I’d miss a lot if I didn’t do a re-read! I hope you love Bridgerton – I had to wait so long for my hold to come in, too, but it was worth it.

I loved The Vanishing Half, and In Five Years is definitely on my list!
I hope you love In Five Years! Happy reading!

I still need to read Six of Crows. This book keeps getting pushed back on my TBR.
I definitely recommend it!
I really enjoyed Six of Crows, but haven’t read The Grisha Triology. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
If you do read The Grisha Trilogy, I hope you enjoy it!
Eve was my favorite Brown sister too. Such a fun series. 🙂
I’m so glad you enjoyed it, too!
