*Top Ten Tuesday* My Spring TBR



Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Joood - Hooligan of Platypire reviews bossed me into doing this, so I guess this is a thing I do now. 

This week’s theme is books on my Spring TBR. Now if you've read many of my Top Ten Tuesday posts, this is the type of theme that leads to a game of Netgalley Request Roulette...but if you've been reading my Top Ten Tuesday posts, you know I've been playing request roulette a LOT lately, so I'm not doing that again right now. I'm already behind on my Netgalley requests that have been approved at this point of the year (although not as behind as I thought I'd be considering how many books I've been approved for, so that's something). But where the books I should be reading next for Netgalley have been featured here on the blog very recently already, I'm not doing that either. Instead I'm going to change things up a bit and pick ten paperback books from my shelves that I currently plan to read this year (because one of my reading goals for the year is to read 23 physical books because it's 2023). Ideally I'll get to a few of them this spring if I can get ahead on those Netgalley requests again at least. Here we go. 


When the Moon is Low by Nadia Hashimi


(My copy has a different cover that I like much better than this one)


When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore




The Beautiful Ones by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
(My copy of this also has a different cover that I like much more than this one.)


River of Ink by Paul M.M. Cooper


Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith


The Cookbook Club by Beth Harbison


Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt


Diamond City by Francesca Flores

There you have it. Ten books that already exist on my bookshelves that at least for now, I want to read this year (presumably some of them this spring). Have you read any of these books? If so, what did you think?

What books are on your spring TBR? If you're stopping by from the linkup, please be sure to drop a link to your post below. I like to return all visits, but typically can't do so until the weekend, so those links help a ton. Kbye! - Katie

  1. The Silvio Moreno-Garcia looks great. I've heard great things about it too (all her books, really). :>

    1. See, if I'd gotten a copy with the current cover, I wouldn't want to read it nearly as much, because I don't like this cover. And I absolutely judge books by their covers. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie

  2. I really want to read The Watchmaker of Filigree Street.

  3. Great list! I'm so very behind on my ARCs as well... The Beautiful Ones is also on my TBR and I've seen Remarkably Bright Creatures on quite a few lists today and my curiosity is piqued! I hope you enjoy all these titles.

    1. Yeah, I feel like I've been seeing Remarkably Bright Creatures everywhere! So when I found it on my shelves, I decided to move it to my read sooner rather than later pile. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie

  4. Excellent list! And it's so hard to resist requesting books from Netgalley sometimes. I've managed (so far) to keep my shelf under control. LOL

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!

    1. I took an unintentional two year hiatus from blogging (basically, I posted a few times in those two years, but not with any regularity) but that didn't stop me from grabbing really good looking read now books on Netgalley. I'm in such a deep hole I don't know if I'll ever be able to dig myself out. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie

  5. I've heard When the Moon was Ours is good. I hope you love all of these.

    1. I'm pretty sure the last time I read a library book, I was in high school...and that was two decades ago, which is a horrible thing for me to have to admit. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie

  7. I need to follow your lead and read some of the MANY physical books on my shelves. I just always seem to get distracted from the books I actually own. It's a thing. LOL. Good luck with your goals!

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

    1. Oh I absolutely stole the idea to read 23 of my physical books this year from another blogger (wish I remembered who so I could give them credit). I absolutely get getting distracted from reading books already owned. Thanks for stopping by. - Katie

  8. Thank you. I hope I stick to the plan to read them. - Katie
