Wow you all probably think the only posts I write anymore on here are TTT, well for the last three weeks that’s true!! I’ve still been reading, I’ve just had some personal stuff going on; it’s been emotionally demanding and I just need to read to read. Hopefully some reviews will be coming forward soon, I even have some discussion posts in the works (of my head).
Anywayyy, Top Ten Tuesdays is hosted weekly by The Broke and Bookish and anyone is free to participate! This week’s topic is book series I’ve been meaning to start. Man, there’s a lot. Every time I look at my TBR I’m just reminded of how many books demand my attention and how I keep ignoring them by doing unproductive things (for me) like scrolling through cat GIFs and eating. You know, unimportant stuff. Alright, let’s go.
- The Duchess War by Courtney Millan
I have been planning for a long time to read some Courtney Millan. I’ve heard wonderful things about her books. This is listed as a series on Goodreads, but I’m not sure if it’s a consecutive series or if they’re unrelated. - The Wedding Belles by Lauren Layne
Another series where I’m not sure if the books are unrelated or not. There’s not as many contemporary consecutive series as fantasy, so I’m not sure if they’re related. All I know is I get serious The Hating Game vibes from this book, and that’s enough for me. - Heroine Complex by Sarah Kuhn
I love graphic novels. I love books by marginalized authors. This book is both; therefore I must read it. - Boxers and Saints by Gene Luen Yang
I know I’ve had this on so many TBR lists lately, but it’s not at my current library, and it’s REALLY expensive. I’m moving in a couple months and I’ve already scouted out the library (Boxers and Saints is at my new library hallelujah) and I’ll be reading it as soon as I move. - Want by Cindy Pon
The hype is REAL for this one. I don’t have a concrete idea of what the plot of this book is, but I’ve seen SO MANY people talking about how amazing this book is and I know I need to read it. That is all. - Gilded Cage by Victoria James
I was ecstatic for this book when I heard about it, and when I finally was able to check it out from the library, I just wasn’t able to get to it. I have ambitions to, we’ll see if they are fulfilled. - Shanghai Nobody by Vann Chow
This is an exploration of modern China and living and going through life. Chow’s story is all about finding yourself and finding love. I’m looking forward to reading this, particularly because I haven’t seen anyone talking about it.
Any mutuals? What series’ have you been meaning to get to but haven’t yet?
I want to read Want too, lol! Gilded Cage was pretty good to me but it does take time to get into as there are multiple POVs.

OH gotcha!! I love multiple POV so I hope it’s done well! Are you excited for the second one? I think James has plans to release it next year.

It’s always neat when none of the books people mention on Top Ten Tuesday are ones I’ve read or even heard about. There are so many stories for me to explore in your list today. 🙂
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.

I love Lauren Layne so I would read anything from her. lol! I haven’t gotten around to that series yet either. I loved her Stilettos series, and some of her Oxford series too. Blurred Lines will always be my favorite tho. Great list!

Thanks so much for stopping by! I’m glad someone vouched for her because I’ve barely seen anyone talk about her or post reviews on her. I read a sampling of The Wedding Belles and I already adored it so as soon as June is up I’ll likely pick it up!

THE STRUGGLE. I’m always like, “I’m going to read so much today!!!” I just have so much to do with blogging, writing posts and reviews and Twitter and bleh, not to mention actually working, sleeping and showering…

*hugs* I get how you feel – all I want to do is read for reading and not write a review (maybe a small one that says EW or OMG THIS BOOK IS AMAZING). I think the only book I share with your list is Want by Cindy Pon – I’ve heard great things as well and the synopsis is right up my alley. ^^

FOR REAL. My reviews are so demanding, but I feel like the way I write them is my brand now so I feel bad diverting, haha.
Let me know how you like it!! I hope to get to it when I move (because my library is lame-sauce).

I have a copy of Gilded Cage but am hesitant as I have seen such mixed reviews. Here’s hoping it is very good! Happy reading.

Yeah, I haven’t heard much of anything about it since the initial little hype right before it came out. Hype is a real force of physics.
