Happy Tuesday, bloggers!
By 2 pm on Monday, I knew I was done with this week. It’s been that kind of start. But hopefully, it turns out better than it has. Do you feel me? Yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised. 😂
Top Ten Tuesday, originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, is a weekly meme. The final August prompt is books I’ve read that I’d like in my personal library. Well, this topic may be a bit difficult for me since I buy almost all of my books. So I’m putting in a mix of books I do own but haven’t gotten around to reading and books I’ve read but don’t own.
I hope you all my picks!
I Own but Haven’t Read
All readers and bloggers struggle with their TBR, right? Right. It’s a truth universally acknowledged. And mine is slightly out of control right now.
A Treason of Thorns
Okay, I haven’t read this book yet, but I did receive an ARC for it. And I am loving the whole premise of it though.
Soul of Stars
Since childhood, I’ve always loved the Anastasia retelling. But it’s been told time and time again. But Ashley has put her own slant to it and brought it to space, which I absolutely love!
King of Scars
Yes, I DNFed the book when it came out, but I plan to start reading it again. Leigh’s two YA series are a hit and miss for me, I’ve found. Her voice changes to dramatically, and I wish with this book, hers was similar to her second series.
Sky without Stars
The authors give readers a new take on Les Misérables. And while I’ve never read it nor watched any movies, I’m intrigued by the intergalactic aspect of this book though. So I’m hoping my expectations aren’t disappointed.
Vengeful
Ah, the little Slytherin in me desperately wants to read this book, but I’ve yet to get to Vicious. I know, I know. I’m horrible. But have you seen the number of books I own? But I love rooting for the anti-hero.
I Don’t Own but Have Read
All of these titles I received for reviews, but I haven’t gotten around to purchasing but hope to soon!
An Ember in the Ashes
Collector’s Edition
Hear me out. I’d like for my hardcover collection match. Now, I know I went on a rant about special edition copies. And honestly, if the publisher never switched up the covers, I wouldn’t be here right now. But I’m also interested in the extra content.
Deadly Sweet
Lola blends together witchery with bakery. When I first read it, I had no clue that I’d want to read the sequel. Obviously, I do.
Rise
I have not stopped thinking about this book. And even though the series isn’t complete, I’ve been wanting to read the sequels. I stopped liking witch-themed stories, but the author throws in demons and forbidden love, so I’m hooked.
So many books. If I buy a book I should just make myself read it within a week of purchase or else it will get buried. Books I want to own

I loved Sky Without Stars! I have yet to read a book by V.E. Schwab, even though I own around three of her books.

I’m sure you’ll love Vicious and Vengeful once you read them. A Treason of Thorns sounds good and I love that cover. Great post!

Oh I feel you so much on all the books and just not enough time. I haven’t done King of Scars yet – I’m a bit nervous. I had a lot of issues with Shadow and Bone – Mal mostly ruined it for me LOL I’m scared she will do it to me again.
I need to get to Vicious and Vengeful as well – I adore Schwab.
Treason of Thorns looks amazing. I love Laura.

I had such a hard time getting though King of Scars. It was not my thing at all but I now own two copies because I’m apparently that person. I think I also want to read Vicious and Vengeful too, but am back and forth of it due to mixed reviews.

Lola Dodge’s series is on my list too. The second book was really good! I am excited for the third book.

I love the girl’s hair on the Rise cover! It makes me want to dye my hair that color. I like your twist on it. I try to buy the books that I like as well, but I think about it and I don’t always reread them.

Omg I never even knew anti-heroes were a thing until I read Vicious 😂 (Please don’t hate me & my sheltered life 😂) but I LOVED it – I’ve still yet to pick up the sequel, though!

Sky Without Stars sounds interesting. I haven’t read or seen Le Miz either but intrigued with cover.

I kind of DNF’d Vengeful back when the book first came out, haha. I got 150-or so pages in and just stopped which is a shame because I loved Vicious. I hope to return to it though!
