This Tuesday’s tag from the Broke and Bookish is to list the Top Ten Books You Recently Added to your To-Be-Read List. I haven’t had the chance to participate in this meme in a while but I couldn’t pass up this week. After all, this one should be easy enough right?
Here are some titles that I’ve come across this weekend from reading BookPage, More, and Mystery Scene magazine.
The Folded Clock: A Diary by Heidi Julavatis.
Rain by Cynthia Barnett. I love the cover of this one and it sounds like a fascinating non-fiction book.
The Children’s Crusade by Ann Packer. I really loved her book The Dive From Clausen’s Pier so I’m excited to see she has a new book out.
A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara. A story of four friends and how their lives and relationships change over decades.
Dark Rooms by Lili Anolik. A beautiful girl is murdered in a close-knit campus community.
The Bookseller by Cynthia Swanson. A story of what might have been.
Barefoot Dogs by Antonio Ruiz-Camacho. A collection of short stories centered around a Mexican family whose patriarch is kidnapped and how that affects individual family members.
An Exaggerated Murder by Josh Cook. “If Sherlock Holmes and Ignatius J. Reilly had a baby, that child would be Trike Agustine, private investigator.†Ok, how can I not want to read this book?
Werewolf Cop by Andrew Klavan. This sounds like a thrilling fantasy novel and it’s set in the Black Forest. Definitely not my typical read but I’m intrigued.
The Devil’s Detective by Simon Kurt Unsworth. Another fantasy crime story but this one is set in the underworld.
Let me know if you’ve heard about some of these or if you’ve already picked up one of these books. What’s made it to your TBR list recently?
That description from An Exaggerated Murder (“If Sherlock Holmes and Ignatius J. Reilly….) is fantastic. My mind is going crazy imagining what Trike Agustine must be like!
I decided to take a pass this week on the Top Ten as I recently shared spring TBR books. I’ve heard of several of these and will admit that Dark Rooms seems to be calling me. 🙂
I love the title “A Folded Clock”! I haven’t heard of that one though. A Little Life and The Bookseller are on my list – I keep hearing good stuff about them. Hope you enjoy your books!
I’m quite intrigued with AN EXAGGERATED MURDER & THE DEVIL’S DETECTIVE so I’m looking forward to your thoughts.
Happy reading! 🙂
I have seen some of these titles, but I haven’t yet read any. Like Jenclair, I’m especially interested in An Exaggerated Murder. Werewolf Cop also caught my attention. Great list, Iliana!
I know none of these from your list! Surely I’ve been under a rock somewhere…oh yeah, reading for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize this month. Thanks for keeping me current, at least with your list.
I have heard good things about The Bookseller.
I was very tempted to bring The Children’s Crusade home with me from work today! It’s been ages since I read The Dive From Clausen’s Pier, but I do remember that I liked it. I still have it on my shelf for re-reading, but maybe I’ll try it on audio.
Hope you’re enjoying some nice spring weather!
