Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Books On My Summer 2019 TBR. Here are ten books that I'll be picking up this July and August. Here we go:
July:
Annals of the Time Patrol (Time Patrol Omnibus #1-2) by Paul Anderson - I plan on reading this for my Beat the Backlist Challenge 2019 and as a part of Sci-Fi July for Devour Your TBR. Just look at that cover!
The Best Science Fiction of Arthur Conan Doyle - I also plan on reading this for my Beat the Backlist Challenge 2019 and as a part of Sci-Fi July for Devour Your TBR. His Holmes stories are some of my favorites, so we'll see what I think of these sci-fi shorts.
Catching Teller Crow by Ambelin Kwaymullina & Ezekiel Kwaymullina - This book will fulfill the task to read an #ownvoices book set in Oceania for Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge. This sounds like a fantastic Indigenous Australian YA mystery/ fantasy to me.
Queens of Geek by Jen Wilde - This book will fulfill the read a book by or about someone that identifies as neurodiverse for Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge. I've been eyeing this for awhile and it sounds like it could be a lot fun.
Spin the Dawn (The Blood of Stars #1) by Elizabeth Lim - I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this novel and I can't wait to read it.
August:
The Color of Magic (Discworld #1) by Terry Pratchett - After devouring Good Omens on Amazon Prime Video, I definitely need more Terry Pratchett in my life. Plus, I plan on reading this for my Beat the Backlist Challenge 2019.
The Dragon Republic (The Poppy War #2) by R.F. Kuang - I somehow managed to get an ARC of this and I'm really excited to continue this series since book one was so good.
Ouran High School Host Club, Vol. 1 by Bisco Hatori - This book will fulfill the task to read a book of manga for Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge. Not my usual choice for manga, but I want to start this series because I've enjoyed what I've watching on the anime.
Swipe Right for Murder by Derek Milman - I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this novel and I can't wait to read it given how much I loved Milman's debut Scream All Night.
The Vegetarian by Han Kang - This book will fulfill the task to read a translated book written by and/or translated by a woman for Book Riot's Read Harder Challenge. I've been wanting to read this nontraditional literary horror story for a while now and I'm glad this challenge is giving me an excuse to finally try it.
Swipe Right for Murder was so much fun! Great list.

Good to know! Thanks for sharing, Melanie. :)
DeleteI've recently been seeing a lot of things on Spin the Dawn. Not sure if I'll pick it up soon or not, but it does sound interesting - love the Mulan vibes. :) Happy summer TBR-ing, Lauren.
ReplyDeleteThat aspect totally sold me. Thanks, Rissi.

ReplyDeleteMy TTT
Pratchett was fantastic. Good to know about the manga!
DeleteArthur Conan Doyle wrote Sci-Fi! I never knew... This is why I love reading these even when I'm not participating (I just published another author interview on my blog instead). You might want to take a look - Jane Davis is an amazing author!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean - it's a good way to find new to you reads. :)
DeleteAnnals of the Time Patrol- now that sounds like some old school SF! Love that title! And I thought Queens of Geek was fun.

For sure! :)

ReplyDeleteI can't believe it happened. :)
DeleteGreat list! Catching Teller Crow sounds really interesting and I need to get to The Poppy War soon.
ReplyDeleteI was really looking forward to it. Turns out I had to change my tbr today for that challenge because I can no longer get the book via interlibrary loan.
DeleteI bought Queens of Geek last year (?). I should really work it into my TBR. It sounds great and I read a lot of fabulous things about it.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed we'll both love it.
DeleteI'm really curious about The Vegetarian. I heard it's a tough read in places but I still want to try it. Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteSame here. Thanks, Tammy!

DeleteOh, oh, oh, The Vegetarian by Han Kang is awesome!! I read it in 2017 and loved it. It's a short, fast read and thought provoking!! See my review of it here: https://captivatedreader.blogspot.com/2017/07/the-vegetarian-by-han-kang.html

ReplyDeleteFingers crossed. Thanks for coming over, Jessica.
DeleteI think this is the only place I've ever seen Catching Teller Crow. I'll be awaiting your review because it's been on my Amazon wishlist for some time. Hope you get to all of these!
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I was planning on borrowing it from my library but it's now no longer available in any format there as it turns out. I'm going to have to figure something else out now.
DeleteGreat looking list! Spin the dawn looks so awesome! I hope I get to buy it soon. And exciting that you got an arc of the Dragon republic! The poppy war is on my wishlist. I am really curious about it!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed they'll all be great! :)
DeleteI need more Terry Pratchett in my life too! I've only read a couple of his Discworld books, but we listen to this book for kids, Dragons at Crumbling Castle, in the car a LOT. Sooo funny.
ReplyDeleteOh yes!
DeleteI'm really looking forward to Spin The Dawn also! I hope you enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteThanks! You too, Nicole.
DeleteI hope you enjoy these! I'm curious on your thoughts re: Spin the Dawn, once you finish this one. I have a good feeling about it! I'm about to start The Dragon Republic myself so I'm also keen on hearing your thoughts on that one in the future. Also, The Best Science Fiction of Arthur Conan Doyle sounds really fantastic. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteWe'll find out! :)
DeleteSo many great books on your list! I recently got The Poppy War after seeing so many glowing reviews for it. I LOVED the Ouran High School Host Club anime! I hope the manga is just as awesome!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed on them!
DeleteGreat TBR!
ReplyDeleteQueens of Geek is awesome, I hope you enjoy it.
Good luck with Colour of Magic, it's probably one of my least favourite Discworld books, but I'm not a fan of Rincewind.
