Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Fantasy Books Recently Added to My TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is an original blog meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is “10 Books From X Genre That I’ve Recently Added To My TBR List.” If asked what my favorite genre is, I’d probably say fantasy; but recently, I’ve been reading a wider variety of books. I’ve probably read more contemporary novels in the last six months than I have during the first couple of years of blogging. I joined the Flights of Fantasy challenge this year because I wanted to get back to reading more fantasy, but so far, I’m only doing so-so. Still, I love the genre and am hoping making a list of the last ten fantasy novels I’ve added to my TBR will motivate me to start picking up more fantasy. Covers are linked to Goodreads or titles if cover if unavailable.

 

1. A Blade So Black by L.L. McKinney – Can you love something without ever really enjoying it? I love the concept of a retelling of Alice of Wonderland, but have never actually read a retelling that I loved. Still, I’m always intrigued by the idea and am hoping this one ends up truly delighting me.

2. America, Vol. 1 by Gabby Rivera (illustrated by Joe Quinones) – You know that “shut up and take my money” meme? That was pretty much me when I first heard about this graphic novel.

3. The Queen and the Cure by Amy Harmon – I was pleasantly surprised when I picked up this author’s novel The Bird and the Sword. I’m beyond stoked that there’s a kind of sequel and will make time soon to read this one.

4. Broken Kingdoms by N.K. Jemisin – I finished my first N.K. Jemisin novel not too long ago and can’t wait to continue the Inheritance Trilogy.

5. Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi – This doesn’t come out until next year, but I know I am not the only one who has heard that this novel is going to be epic. The anticipation is already killing me.

 

6. The Blazing Star by Imani Josey – I haven’t heard much about this one, but several trusted bloggers have enjoyed it, so I think I’m going to give it a shot.

7. Mirage by Somaiya Daud – I haven’t heard much about this book, but every time I read the synopsis, I get excited.

8. The Hollow Girl by Hillary Monahan – This one may be more horror than fantasy, but it sounds like it has some fantastical elements, so I’m including it.

9. Song of the Current by Sarah Tolcser – This is the last book I added to my TBR because of a review by fellow blogger Amber Elise @ Du Livre. Witty banter and enemies-to-lovers trope? Sign me up!

10. Bloodwitch by Susan Dennard – I just added this one a couple of days ago. I really enjoyed Susan Dennard’s previous books in this series and am eagerly awaiting the third installment.
