Hello! It’s Tuesday and you know what time it is…Top Ten. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl, Jana every week, they post a new topic/top ten list and invite everyone to share their own answers. I looked at this week’s challenge and thought I could easily participate since I have a rather large TBR to choose from.
So many years ago, I read Edwidge Danticat’s “Krik Krak” and was so moved by how at such a young age, Edwidge wrote with so much feeling and rawness that I knew I had to read more. I ended up buying more of her books but not reading them.
Some of the books she has written that I still need to read are:
I read The Samurai’s Garden a couple years ago with a book club and really enjoyed the writing and the story. I quickly began snatching up used copies of Gail Tsukiyama’s other books at used book sales. Another of her other books I would like to read is:
This list would not be complete without Sujata Massey. I have been with her since her first novel in 1997, “The Salaryman’s Wife (Rei Shimura #1). I loved the main character and experiencing various aspects of Japanese culture while solving a mystery. I read the entire series. Two books of hers that are not in that series that I have not read yet are:
I am also super excited about her upcoming release of another series she writes. It is called “The Satapur Moonstone (Perveen #2) and it is scheduled to be released in May 2019 and you know I already have it on pre-order!
Another author that I have read a lot of books is Susanna Kearsley. I started with Mariana and never looked back.
They are fantastic books. With a mix of romance and historical fiction that keeps you coming back for more. I have a few that I have not read yet:
A Desperate Fortune
Another author that I have read and enjoyed and need to catch up on is Kristin Hannah. I have only read The Nightingale but I loved it. So I picked up several of her books in my last birthday book haul and have yet to read them.
One of which is:
I read Lisa See many years ago and really enjoyed her books. I recently bought one of her books as part of my birthday haul that I have been meaning to read:
So as you can see, I had no problem pulling some books that I want to read from my big old TBR.
Hope you have a wonderful day and find time to spend with a book!

Ooooh…. I hadn’t heard of any of these books before. The covers look amazing, especially on Firebird. I love historical fiction and don’t read nearly enough of it. I will have to check these out. Thanks for sharing!
I read the Great Alone earlier this year. It’s really good.
