Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Yes, another check-in post! Last wek I checked in on my Backlist TBR, but I didn’t realize this week is a freebie. However, next week we’ll be putting books on our Winter TBR, so let’s see how I did on my Fall TBR first.
- The Adventures of Amina Al-Sirafi by S.A. Chakraborty – Yes, I read this book. Although I enjoyed the setup of the story and the amount of research the author clearly has done, pirates are not really my cup of tea still. (click here for my full review)
- Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus – I didn’t put it out there on my tracking apps, but I’ve tried and made it to chapter 5 before I decided this book is not for me. The writing is not for me, neither are the main character and the humor. It’s not funny at all! Also, I expected to get a decent historical fiction and this is clearly not that.
- Fall of Ruin and Wrath by Jennifer L. Armentrout – I actually read this soon after I put the original post up. I’m not sure what’s happening to this author, because this book was not what i’m used to read from her. I mean, it’s so slow and only picks up around the 70% mark. However, I’m still curious for the sequel. (click here for my full review)
- Things We Hide from the Light by lucy Score – Yes, I read this one as well. I enjoyed it, but I wasn’t the biggest fan of Lina. Nash shows an immense character growth though! (click here for my full review)
- Glow by Raven Kennedy – No, I’veread too much fantasy lately.
- The Bell jar by Sylvia Plath – No, I actually forgot I put this on my TBR!
- Falling Hard for the Royal Guard by Megan Clawson – Yes and I really disliked this one. (click here for my full review)
- November by Thomas Olde Heuvelt – I read this one as well but I won’t be reviewing it here since it’s a Dutch book. Unfortunately, I didn’t like it that much, I liked his other books better.
- Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros – Of course I’ve read this! Although it sometimes was a bit too long, I enjoyed every second of this read. (click here for my full review)
- Ruthless Fae by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti – No, I haven’t read this one either because of the amount of fantasy I’ve consumed these past 3 months.
Verdict: I’ve read 6 out of 10! I don’t count Lessons in Chemistry because I’ve only made it to chapter 5. I did better than I thought, considering getting Covid and a reading slump at the same time.
How did you do on your fall TBR?
