Hello all! Back with another TTT entry for another week. I’ll just name the most recent entries to my TBR based on my Goodreads Want-To-Read list.
Top Ten Tuesday is a blog meme hosted by the awesome That Artsy Reader Girl.
What The Wind Knows
Amy Harmon is one of my top favorite contemporary authors. And I absolutely loved the last historical fiction she wrote – From Sand And Ash. She’s a master at creating a mood in her books. This one’s a time-travel fantasy set in the Ireland of 1921. I can’t wait to get my hands on this one!

The Place On Dalhousie
I could write essays on how much I love Melina Marchetta, okay? History suggests that if I read a book written by her, I’m bound to love it. I’ve been waiting for this book since I read the short story When Rosie Met Jim which is sort of a prologue to this book back in 2017. This book couldn’t come soon enough.

Circe
I love Greek Mythology, retellings and strong women. This book happens to have all of them. Need I say more?
Goodreads Link – here.
The Poppy War
I found out about this book a little later than I’d have liked thanks to a friend’s review of it on Goodreads. The premise, the genre and the word-of-mouth – everything about this book compelled me to add it to my TBR.

The Unhoneymooners
Two words. Christina Lauren.
A wedding? The bridesmaid and the best man? Hijacking a honeymoon? A lie about being married?
Gimme already!

The Girl He Used To Know
This is one of the very first books I requested for in Netgalley… and got refused. So this was one of those cases of wanting what you can’t have (for the time being). And of course I love the sound of the book.

We Came Here To Forget
The cover was the first thing that attracted me. The premise of a young olympic skier escaping to Argentina after losing everything and reinventing herself with a group of expats was what sold it for me. Hoping that it will be a good one.

The Vanishing Stair
I’ve just started Truly Devious. And I’m really liking it so far. So I just went ahead and added the sequel to my TBR. I’m hoping to love the series even more as I go ahead.
Goodreads Link – here.
The Beautiful
I can’t remember the last time I was this intrigued by the premise of a Young Adult with vampires. This one also happens to be a historical fiction. And this is Renée Ahdieh we’re talking about. Can you blame me for having high hopes?
Goodreads Link – here.
Park Avenue Summer
Mad Men meets Devil Wears Prada. This book promises an insider’s look at the rise of Helen Gurley Brown- the woman who changed the dynamics of what magazines would do as an editor-in-chief at Cosmopolitan – through the eyes of her assistant who I assume is fictional.
I’m really intrigued and excited by the sound of this book. Hope it won’t disappoint.

This is it. Fingers crossed that these books live up to my expectations!
2019, please don’t let me down!
I hope you love Circe! I pre-ordered Vanishing Stair and it’s so pretty!

I keep seeing the beautiful hardback edition of Circe in Waterstones and it makes me sad because I can’t afford it-I’m hoping to save up enough points to get it!

I’m excited for THE VANISHING STAIR, too, although I might have to re-read TRULY DEVIOUS first so I can remember who’s who and what’s what!
Happy TTT!

That’s the first time I’ve seen the cover for The Beautiful. I got The Poppy War (on sale) last summer, but I still haven’t read it, and The Unhoneymooners sounds interesting.
