As I read more and more books, the more I want to surround myself with a library of my favorites. There’s just something comforting about being surrounded by old friends. For today’s Top Ten Tuesday I’m talking about books I don’t own, that are some of my favorites, that I need in my library! Again it’s hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl!
Faves I Need
- We Set the Dark on Fire. UM HELLO!? Let’s talk giant cliff hanger and oh my word, I adore this book to bits and I need more!
- The Merciful Crow. I just need to collect all the first books in series that I loved because I need this one! Also I love the little touches, like the stamp on the hard cover and the end pages!
- Seafire. I have such a soft spot for pirates. Arrr! Plus I love the UK paperback because it is simple, elegant, and bronze!
- The Wise and the Wicked. Because I don’t have enough teal books and because I loved Rebecca’s book! Witches, fighting our destiny, and family.
- Permanent Record. Did you see what they’ve done with the clear dust jacket? Um of course I would need this book! My review isn’t live yet, but loved this Choi book!
- And in that similar thinking, I love the gold foil on Emergency Contact!
- The Dragon Republic. I need this to add to my collection of books that tore my heart into pieces.
- Pachinko paperback because that is EXQUISITE! And this book is so emotional and intense.
- Eclipse the Skies. I need to own this sequel and I would love if it was also soft matte touch because I adore these covers so much!
- Circe is a gorgeous hardcover. Like….just stunning.
I probably could go on forever because…I have a long wishlist, but these were the top books off the list.
We Set The Dark on Fire and The Wise and the Wicked are two books I still really want to get and read at some point. They sound so good. But I think I’m waiting on the paperback releases because I can’t justify having everything in hc. ><
Ooohhh that makes absolute sense, I try to only get the HC if I know there’s something special, like embossing or a stamp or something
There’s probably a few books on here that I want to read and then have in my physical library Like The Merciful Crow and Circe (especially since I have Song of Achilles as an owned book, but haven’t even read it yet ♀️).
Ooohh let me know what you think when you do, I personally liked Circe better than Achilles, but I did read Achilles first…
We Set the Dark on Fire is sooo beautiful in person – I def agree on that one. I also just loved the story so much.
YES! It is gorgeous and I just want to stare at that beautiful cover
Permanent Record sounds like such a good read. I hadn’t heard of it before, so thanks for mentioning it!
My TTT
And thanks for commenting! Yes it is! I think his struggles, and mistakes, are all really relatable!
I’ve not ready any of these, but I really like some of the covers, especially the one for Seafire. Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
And I think the UK one has a lot of more metallic touches in the cover so win!
Haha I noticed how all the books in your list have very pretty covers. I would do the same, to be honest! I actually have a few books on my list soleley based on covers.
Here’s my TTT 🙂

YES! I have carefully picked out which editions haha
Seafire- love that cover! And Circe too.
Circe is just stunning, I know there’s the very metallic one, and I love that one too!
Emergency Contact is so pretty! I bought it in August and it is on my TBR for September. I can’t wait to read it.
It’s such a great book of character driven plots! I hope you enjoy!
