Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by
That Artsy Reader Girl! This week, we're talking about the books that have yet to come out (I included only releases from June onward, not anything in May) that we're super desperate to get our little hands on. As I always whine, these kinds of topics are a struggle because I read over 80% backlist, but here are ones I'm really looking forward too!
The Dean: This one I've actually pre-ordered, which I virtually never do because it's cheaper to wait for the paperback but I looooooooove John Dingell (who used to be my Congressman when I lived in Ann Arbor!) so much that I'm shelling out hardcover money.
Seduction: This one, from the lady who does the You Must Remember This podcast (which is amazing, if you haven't listened yet), is something I am genuinely super hyped to read but will wait for paper for and then devour.
The Book of Essie: This sounds so fascinating! It's about the daughter in a super religious reality TV family, who gets underage pregnant and has to figure out how to deal with it. Which basically checks all of my reading boxes and I want this so bad.
The Winter of the Witch: I have talked multiple times about how much I loved the first two books in the Winternight trilogy and this is the last one and my expectations are sky-high even though I know that is an excellent way to get burned hard.
There There: This book, about the intersecting lives of Native Americans headed for a pow wow, has gotten tons of hype and I always appreciate the chance to read a great book by an own voices author.
The Captives: As a former psych major, I'm a sucker for stories about psychologists/therapists, and the hook in this one (a disgraced psychologist working in a prison who, unethically, begins treatment for his high school crush when she appears in his prison) has definitely intrigued me.
The Completionist: I love a good speculative fiction, especially when there's a dystopian angle, and I am thrilled to have an advance review copy of this one to read!
If You Leave Me: Wartime love triangle and choosing the wrong guy and reverberating choices sounds like the kind of drama I enjoy, and somewhere (I honestly can't remember where), I read a short review that indicated this was fantastic. I am lucky here, too, to have a review copy to read!
The Bonanza King: This is a local interest choice, about the Comstock Lode (which was located just outside of Reno), and the man who ended up with control over it, John Mackey. I got approved for a review copy of this as well, so looking forward to get into it!
The Silence of the Girls: As much as I did not love reading the ancient Homer epic poems in college, I did love
The Song of Achilles so I am also hopeful for this retelling that focuses on the women in the army camps.
