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 “top ten most recent additions to my book collection.” I’ve been trying really hard not to buy new books, so I’m going to cheat here a little bit and include bookish objects that also go on my bookshelves.
The Books:
Only a Monster by Vanessa Len
This ARC just arrived this week (thanks to HCC Frenzy!) and I can’t wait to dive into it – I love morally grey characters/anti-heroes!
ExtraOrdinary by V.E. Schwab
I still haven’t unboxed this yet, even though it has been waiting for me since came back from the Christmas holidays. But I am extremely excited to open and read it since Vicious is one of my all-time favourite books.
We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
I found this in the fall at a used bookstore in my neighbourhood (and naturally made a TikTok about it), fully intending for it to be my Halloween read. And yet, it remains unopened.
All These Bodies by Kendare Blake
I haven’t read a vampire book in ages, but this one sounds really neat!
Dark Rise by C.S. Pacat
This was recommended to me so many times in the fall. I’ve heard it has morally grey characters, twists you don’t see coming, and excellent world building.
The Book-Adjacent:
Enamel pins
I love enamel pins, and these bookish ones were too cute to pass up! I will be adorning both my jean jackets and my tote bags with these.
+ an iPad
I wanted to read more ebooks but didn’t like using my phone as one, since the screen was a little too small and I would get distracted by the 25932 apps and text threads on there. Hopefully I can start using Libby more now!
What are the most recent additions to your bookshelves?
We Have Always Lived in the Castle was an interesting read. I hope you like it.

I’ve heard such good things about it!
those pins are so cute!!! and all these bodies looks really good!
I can’t say no to enamel pins!
The cover of WE HAVE ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CASTLE is so creepy! I don’t know why, but it really freaks me out. Of course, I’m too wimpy to read it too. Ha ha.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

The cover creeps me out too! I wanted to try reading more books that were very outside of my comfort zone (which all horror books are) but I’m too nervous to start it, haha.
Happy Wednesday, and happy reading!
I like that you included more than just books! Bookish items are fun to get as well 🙂
I swoon for enamel pins, even though I have no idea what to do with them or where to pin them. The few I have just sit in a box like a chest of pirate treasure…but it makes me happy rummaging through the collection and admiring it, so I guess that’s enough. These are all super cute!
