Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Every Tuesday they post a new Top Ten list prompt. This week’s list is the Last Ten Books That Came Into My Possession (bought, library, review copies, etc…).
I admit I may be a book-a-holic. I pick up books at thrift shops, used bookstores, new bookstores, and anywhere else that sells them. I also request galleys frequently enough that I receive a few a week. Then there are the ebooks, free, discounted, you name it. When all it takes is a few clicks to add a book to my collection the temptation is just too great. 🙂 With that said, I will do my best to remember which books were actually the last 10 that I acquired.
Click on the covers to go to the book descriptions on Goodreads…
1. The Curse of Crow Hollow by Billy Coffey
I won this book in a giveaway I found in the Shelf Awareness newsletter.
2. Booked For Trouble by Eva Gates
I received an ARC of this book to review from the author.
3. The Book of Lost and Found by Lucy Foley
An ARC I received from the publisher.
4. The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen
I picked this one and the next one up at Books A Million.
5. The Little Stranger by Sarah Waters
6. The Young World by Chris Weitz
Won this one in a giveaway from one of many book newsletters I get in my inbox every week, but I don’t remember which one!
7. Daughter of Smoke and Bone series by Laini Taylor
This is really three books, I know, but Barnes and Noble had the Nook versions for 1.99 each, so I bought all 3…
8. Spiraled by Kendra Elliot
I won this one in a Goodreads giveaway.
9. The Prince and I: The Royal Biography Cozy Mystery Series by Julie Sarff
Amazon had this one for free so I grabbed it.
10. The Remorseful Day by Colin Dexter
My cover is a little different since it is a UK copy, but I picked this one up at a used bookstore recently.
Now how about you? Have you picked up any good books lately?
Ha! With the Smoke & Bone series you came in at 12 books too. 😉 I am with you – it is so hard to remember the order I got my books in. All the different resources now to get books makes it difficult. I’m trying to hold back on my ARCs – I went a little crazy and i have a bunch in the queue. 🙂 Great list! A few on here I need to add to my TBR as well.

The last one and Booked for Trouble are the only real mysteries on the list, and that’s what I read most often. I’ve seen reviews for some of these on other blogs though, and decided to branch out a bit more…

I’ve actually just started Booked for Trouble, but not sure which one I’m going to get to next. I’ve been hearing about The Queen of the Tearling for quite a while now, so maybe that one.
