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. 

This week's topic is: The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection

*in no particular order as my Goodreads list got a little convoluted at this point! Lol.

10. THE EMPRESS by Kristin Cast--Kristin was in St. Louis the first week of the year just after our snowstorm! This sounds like an intriguing read and I love the cover!
9. THE SKY WEAVER by Kristen Ciccarelli--Kristen is also coming to St. Louis next month, so I thought it was time to finally read her books on my TBR and I realized I didn't have this one, so I quickly fixed that!
8. TO SHATTER THE NIGHT by Katherine Quinn--a preorder that came in December! Hoping to read this beautiful duology soon!

7. THE STUDY OF FIRE by Maria V. Sndyder--another preorder book that came in and this one I did read! LOL!
6. FOR SHE IS WRATH by Emily Varga--this was the December Fairy Loot book, although it wasn't this cover. I love The Count of Monte Cristo so I definitely want to give this one a read!
5. IT WILL ONLY HURT FOR A MOMENT by Delilah S. Dawson--this was one of the Black Friday books I picked up for half off!

4. CHASING ETERNITY by Alyson Noel--another Black Friday purchase! This one was a keeper copy since I read a digital ARC. Still trying to locate my copy of the second book. It has to be in my storage unit, but for the life of me I could not find the marked box...so I am terrified it was added randomly to a box before I started keeping a sharpie in there.
3. BATMAN RESURRECTION by John Jackson Miller--my final Black Friday purchase! That 1/3 off totally threw me off my game as I had a list of books I was going to buy for 1/2 off. Sadly, not all were available so I guess it was good that it was only 1/3 off.
2. THE HALF KING by Melissa Landers--another preorder that came through and still needs to be read!

1. THE SONGBIRD & THE HEART OF STONE by Carissa Broadbent--Carissa came to St. Louis for this tour, so naturally I went and picked this one up but I think I'll be waiting for its sequel before starting it! Always feels wiser to binge a duology! Lol.
