Happy Tuesday everyone! Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is Reasons Why I Love Reading, but I felt like doing something different this week so I'm sharing Recently Released Hidden Gems That I Want To Check Out From The Library. All of the books on my list have been published since 2020 and have 2,000 or less Goodreads ratings. Without further ado, here we go in alphabetical order by title:
The Enigma Game by Elizabeth Wein - Wein has written exactly my kind of World War II set historical fiction in the past and I can't wait to try her newest.
Race Against Time: The Untold Story of Scipio Jones and the Battle to Save Twelve Innocent Men by Sandra Neil Wallace and Rich Wallace - Somehow I've never heard of Scipio Jones, an early African American civil right hero, but it's not too late to learn about him!
Renegade Flight (Rebelwing #2) by Andrea Tang - The first book in this series was such a pleasant surprise. I need to know what happens next!
Seven Deadly Shadows by Courtney Alameda & Valeynne E. Maetani - I've really enjoyed what I've read by both of these authors and this standalone YA fantasy sounds great.
Spell Starter (Caster #1) by Elise Chapman - The first book in this series was awesome and I can't wait to read this sequel.
Witches Steeped in Gold (Witches Steeped in Gold #1) by Ciannon Smart - I've seen some mixed reviews for this series opener, but it sounds like it has a lot of potential.
Yesterday is History by Kosoko Jackson - I can't resist time travel and this looks like it's going to be a good one!

Wait a minute, Wein is out with a new book? I didn't know that! And Parent Trap in Victorian London? What a fabulous premise. Some very cool books in here! How DO you find out about these? 🤩

My fingers are crossed. :)
DeleteI really thought the Enigma Game was well-done and I am a fan of the author and her series involving the same family. What are their names? I've forgotten Beauford-Stewart, something like that. My TTT is off-topic this week. Please visit anyway?!
ReplyDeleteGood to know!
DeleteSanctuary by Paola Mendoza & Abby Sher has such a cool cover! Here's my list!
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised I don't see it around more often actually.
DeleteThese do look good...I'll be adding several to my own TBR list. :D
