Oh boy this is going to be a long list. Just prepare yourselves now. This is part of the Top Ten Tuesday series which will soon be moving blogs people, so get ready!
- Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie: I should have read this a long time ago, not only because it is my friend’s book and she lent it to me over a year ago now?
- Shadowshaper by Daniel Jose Older: I saw him speak and this sold me, but I still haven’t gotten to them!
- Wintersong by S.Jae Jones: I have heard so much about this and I’ve been given a second chance because I finally bought it!
- Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller: I got it from my Magic Chest and never read it. Shame on me.
- Given to the Sea by Mindy McGinnis: It has been on my list forever and I just haven’t gotten to it 🙁
- Same with Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys. Yes for all things salt and sea related?
- Wicked Like a Wildfire. I was so hyped up about this book and then when I didn’t get an arc of it, it fell on the wayside.
- The same goes for Wink Poppy Midnight which I also just bought, so I get some more brownie points right? or no?
- Vassa in the Night because I got it for free at the Boston Teen Author Festival but that cover is so gorg.
- The Valiant. Which is actually what I’ll read next so I get extra points!

It’s hard to keep on top of series!
Hope you enjoy Wink Poppy Midnight. I didn’t care for it too much but I know tons of people like it.
Oh no! I just couldn’t resist that cover too…
I have read Shadowshaper and I really loved the audiobook. I will probably re-read it this year so I can listen to the second book. I also have Salt to the Sea and The Valiant on my TBR. I’ve been meaning to get those for awhile but I just haven’t yet. I hope you enjoy all of these when you get to them!
We have so many similar ones! I am reading the Valiant now and really like it so far 🙂
I’m listening to the Wintersong audiobook right now and it’s lovely, I really hope you enjoy it when you read it. 🙂
YES! I just got it in the mail today and it is gorgeous!
Last year was probably my ‘worst’ year for reading backlist because I really made an effort to read new releases. I’m hoping to balance it out a bit more this year. I did read Shadowshaper (very cool book) and Daughter of the Pirate King (less cool but still fun) in 2017.
Yeah striking a balance between the two is always tricky. Especially since my arc pile just kind of stares at me from the corner…
I hope you enjoy Daughter of the Pirate King! It was fun! I need to get to Wicked Like a Wildfire too!
I am looking forward to it. Any other pirate recommendations?
Not at the moment. I am on the hunt as well! We will have to let each other know if we find any!
YES will do 😀
