Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by the Broke and the Bookish. Today’s theme was:
Ten Books You Recently Added To Your To-Be-Read List
Okay, I’m not going to lie. I was really happy this was such an easy topic this week. I found all of these on my TBR shelf on Goodreads.
Bright Lights, Dark Nights by Stephen Emond – Do you know how hard it is to not type “Dark Knight”? Haha. This book is an illustrated YA novel about first love, race, and finding yourself. So glad I got an eARC of this one waiting.
The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins – I’m not even really sure how to describe this one. Magic, cults, libraries. Go read that synopsis and try NOT to add it to your TBR. Lucky enough to also have this one as an eARC.
The Little Paris Bookshop by Nina George – A book about a man who runs a small bookshop where he prescribes books to people? First, why isn’t this a real thing? Second, is it a real thing? Third, YES PLEASE. Also an eARC.
Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon – “The narrative unfolds via vignettes, diary entries, texts, charts, lists, illustrations, and more.” Wuuuut? That sounds awesome. Also, it’s about a girl who’s allergic to the outside world. CanIpleasehavethisrightnow??!!
T
he Day the Crayons Came Home by Drew Daywalt and illustrated by Oliver Jeffers – THIS IS A SEQUEL TO THE DAY THE CRAYONS QUIT. Do I really need to explain why this is on my list?
Book Scavenger by Jennifer Chambliss Bertman – A book about a 12-year-old book lover and a book scavenger hunt. What else could you want in an MG book?
Bones & All by Camille DeAngelis – This book is about a girl who EATS the people she cares about. When she loves someone, she can’t help herself. This sounds disturbing, gross, and absolutely delightful. If you didn’t already know I was a weirdo, now you do.
And here’s two books I recently added to my (WAY TOO LONG) physical TBR:
We All Looked Up by Tommy Wallach – An end-of-the-world, figure-out-who-we-really-are book that sounds absolutely wonderful. I had to buy it.
The Alex Crow by Andrew Smith – I’ve never actually read an Andrew Smith book (though I own a signed copy of 100 Sideways Miles and I’ve actually met him. Oops), but this one sounds so. cool. I’m not even really sure how to summarize it though, so go check it out on Goodreads.
What books have you recently added to your TBR?

YES TO EVERYTHING ON THIS LIST! 🙂
You have good taste. 😉
Thanks for stoppin’ by! Have a great week!
🙂 Thanks!
I had no idea there was going to be a sequel to The Day the Crayons Quit! AHH! Also, Little Paris Bookshop sounds so so so good. It’s also on my TBR for this year. Bones & All…I actually spoke to the editor about this when I was asking her what her most interesting project was, and at first I was like “oh ew” but then all that passion in her voice and gushing over the plot and the writing has made me very curious. I hope it does well!
I can’t wait for the sequel to the Day the Crayons Quit!! One of my absolute favorite picture books.
Oh, that’s so cool that you were talking to the editor! I love when people get super passionate about projects. 🙂
Just added a bunch of these to my TBR >.> haha, especially The Library at Mount Char! You have some wonderful-sounding e-ARCs waiting!
I know! I’m so excited for them. 🙂 I always wish I could share eARCs with people like you can with print ones!
These all sound awesome, especially THE LIBRARY AT MOUNT CHAR. I have THE ALEX CROW, just haven’t gotten around to reading it yet. One of these days!

Haha. I completely understand not having read something you own yet. I have shelves of books I haven’t read. oops. 😉
The Library at Mount Char just got added to my list!
Doesn’t it sound AWESOME?!
These all look really great!
Don’t they?!
I agree Good Reads made this list so easy to do! That Library at Mount Char book looks interesting. It might be a little too far out there for me, though. I’ll need to read your review on it before I decide to add it to my TBR!
I’m really hoping it’s good. We’ll see. It sounds REALLY good but sometimes book fall flat.
The Little Paris Bookshop sounds amazing. Adding that to the list. I also have We All Looked Up…loved the trailer so I think I’d like the book as well. https://ireadboooks.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/top-ten-books-ive-recently-added-to-my-tbr/
I’m really looking forward to reading We All Looked Up. I wasn’t going to buy it, but then I saw it’s cover staring at me from the shelf and I just had to. 🙂
I have We All Looked Up and Everything, Everything on my TTT too! A few of the others you have are also on my TBR.
Both of those just sound so incredibly interesting to me!
I haven’t read it, but many people say that We All Looked Up is beautiful. I had it on my tbr list as well, though it’s not recently added.
Great list! 🙂
Well it was only recently added in that I just bought it. I’ve had it on my TBR for MONTHS! I’ve heard such wonderful things about it!
Great list. I see a few I am going to check out. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
The Little Paris Bookshop sounds fab! Added it to my TBR. 🙂
I KNEW you were going to like that one!
OMG, there’s a sequel to the Crayons book?!?! Why didn’t I know this?! I have to get this!!
AHHHH! Someone who’s as excited as me! It’s not out yet but doesn’t it sound wonderful?
I’m halfway through We All Looked Up at the minute (HAD to pause for Confess!), and I’m really enjoying it, loving the writing style, and definitely doesn’t feel like a debut. I am finding it a bit slow going, but that could be down to my life at the minute as opposed to the book (picking it up and having to put it down again to go do something). Everything, Everything sounds immense! R x
My TTT: https://confessionsofabookgeek.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/top-ten-tuesday-books-ive-recently-added-to-my-tbr/
Eeeeep! I’m really looking forward to picking it up!
Everything Everything looks really good! Sounds like something I’ve never read before. Great list! 🙂
Agreed! It sounds unique to me. Looking forward to that one!
So many great adds! 🙂 I have Everything, Everything on my list too.
Here is my post if you want to check out mine: https://sociallyawkwardbookworm.wordpress.com/2015/03/31/top-ten-tuesday-books-recently-added-to-my-tbr/
I think Everything, Everything just sounds so cool!
I stopped by your list yesterday morning! You have Never Always Sometimes on your list, right? 🙂
I do have Never Always Sometimes on my TBR list too. 🙂
Yeah! I commented on your TTT yesterday morning. 🙂
