Happy Tuesday and welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish! This week's topic is Underrated/ Hidden Gem Books I've Read In The Past Year Or So. All of these have less than 1,000 ratings on Goodreads, but they all deserve so much more love.

The Trial (PULSE #1) by R.A. Crawford - Goodreads Ratings: 12
Redemption by Elora Mitchell - Goodreads Ratings: 22

Have you read any of these underrated/ hidden gems? What hidden gems have you discovered this year? As always, thanks for visiting my blog, and perhaps even leaving a comment!
Pulse- oh my. That's quite the cover! Down With The shine is on my list to read, and Future Shock looks like it could be a good dystopian/ time travel story?
ReplyDeleteAll are very good - and, yes, Future Shock is a time travel story. :)
DeleteInteresting list!! I actually have a copy of The 13th Continuum that I haven't read yet, so it's nice to see it on your list today! I think I also got an eARC of Down With the Shine that I haven't read yet. Ugh, I need to get it in gear hahah. I've never heard of Frost before, but the cover is so cool, I looked up the description and it seems really interesting. Nice choices!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT!
I really hope you like all of them! Thanks for visiting my blog. :)
DeleteAll these books have gorgeous covers! I sadly haven't heard of any of these. Ink & Ashes and 13 Continuum have peaked my interest!

My Top 10
They're definitely worth trying out. :)
DeleteFrost and Revenge and the Wild sound right up my alley. I put them on my TBR. Great list. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYay! I hope you get the chance to read them, Bill!
DeleteInk and Ashes looks interesting and I love the cover! That's always the first thing that attracts me to a book and what causes me to take a closer look. I will definitely be looking Ink and Ashes up today! Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteMy Top Ten Tuesday
I'm the same way usually - and Ink and
DeleteAsh just draws you in. :)
Happy reading!
Down with the Shine looks really interesting! I'll have to check it out
ReplyDeleteIt's so cool! I hope you get to try it out, Lia! :)
DeleteI haven't read any of these books nor have I heard of them. Now I have a new list of books to look for.
ReplyDeleteI'm adding quite a few books to my tbr this week too. :)
DeleteI haven't read any of those. I'm VERY curious about Frost though.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do get to try it. :)
DeleteI love your list, I'll be adding some of them to my TBR. I went with books that I didn't really enjoy this past year, because I kind of already shared the underrated books/Books that I loved from the past year.

Thanks very much for sharing, Marie! :)
DeleteFuture Shock by Elizabeth Briggs sounds SO good! And the 2nd book in the series is coming out this March, so I can't wait to see what people think about it!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to get my hands on the sequel!
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog, Jen!
Thanks for checking out my blog. Ink and Ashes looks like a great read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting mine as well, Allison. :)
DeleteDown with the Shine is one I've been intrigued by. Just took a peek at your review and I'm even more interested based on the premise. Happy weekend, Lauren!
ReplyDeleteThanks Alicia! I've pushed Down with the Shine on so many friends this year...
DeleteI'm definitely intrigued by Future Shock, that's one I really want to pick up this year! My favourite hidden gem I read last year was Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. It's a really unique take on vampires set in Mexico City!
ReplyDeleteI hope you get the chance to do that! I'll have to look for Certain Dark Things. Thanks for visiting my blog, Danya!
DeleteDown with the Shine was popping up on a lot of WoW's last year and it always sounded interesting, maybe I should keep it in mind. And the cover to Frost intrigues me. Great list.
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing that! Thanks for visiting, Eve!
DeleteI have a copy of Revenge and the Wild that I need to read! It sounds so good! I also want to read Down With the Shine.
ReplyDeleteYes, you need to get to it- both of them! :)
DeleteI've only heard of Revenge and the Wild and I've been meaning to pick up that book. I also like the look of Frost.
ReplyDeleteI hope you can Lois! Thanks for visiting, Lois. :)
DeleteOh I've hardly heard of any of these! *gasps* Except I really want to read Frost and my library just bought it so I'm excited for that! And Revenge of the Wild has the best cover and font I've ever seen.😍
ReplyDeleteCool! I'm hoping you like Frost, Cait!
DeleteThanks for visiting my blog!
I haven't heard of any of these. I like how you used the number of Goodreads ratings to create your list. I'll be adding some of these to my TBR! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThat's about the only way I could do it - too difficult for me to make it any other way! Hope you will enjoy them!
DeleteI've only heard of Future shock from this list and I haven't even read it. Also, Frost and The awesome need to be added to my TBR!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I could pique your interest, Adreana! Thanks for coming over!
DeleteThat's one way to say it!
ReplyDeleteI don't blame you there. :)
