Have you read any of these? Any recommendations for what I should get to first?
Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!
Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.
All totally new to me ones! Hope you get to read all of these this year!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I have not read any of these, but I own a couple of them and several more have been on my radar. I especially want to try NEWS OF THE WORLD.
ReplyDeleteNews of the World almost made my list. I bought a copy when it was on sale for Kindle at Christmas. I am hoping to read it with my book group later this year. Right now it is so popular that not enough copies are available through the library.
ReplyDeleteI may have to give Hillbilly Elegy a try sometime. It is extremely popular at the library. Homegoing and Raymie Nightingale both look really interesting too.
I hope you get the opportunity to read these this year. With so many good books being published every year it is hard to get to them all!
A Little Life is one of my favorite books ever. News of the World is really great and short! I would have liked to read Barkskins, too, but every time I looked at it I just couldn't get past how long it is!
ReplyDeleteHaven't read any of these yet but I hope you'll get to all of them this year :)
ReplyDeleteSomeone just mentioned to me how much they liked Homecoming. I should add it o my list. I wanted to read Hillbilly Elegy until Trump won then decided I'm made enough with out adding fuel to the fire. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteI read Jellicoe Road and liked it, but didn't love it as fervently as I think many do. Hillbilly Elegy, Raimie Nightingale, Homecoming, and A Little Life are all books I've been wanting to get to, and I'm always up for some Proulx! This list looks pretty fantastic, which is no surprise.
ReplyDeleteHomegoing is really excellent; definitely worth investing in. I started Barkskins last year but found the first part really slow; I'm going to pick it up again when I have a big chunk of time in which to really get into it.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I hope you enjoy all of these if you get to them!

I held off on reading Jellicoe Road for ages but it's a great book! Hope you get to all of these soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my TTT
I always intend to read Jellicoe Road. I really must one day!
ReplyDeleteI loved Jellicoe Road. I read it way before blogging, but it's a great book. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI really loved A Little Life. It is gut-wrenching beautiful but no matter how many times I tell you this, you won't be prepared for it. It's like getting kicked in the stomach and not being able to breathe. My one recommendation is to read it when you have a good chunk of time you can take to recover from it because it affected me for months and made other reading really difficult. BUT, you need to read it.
ReplyDeleteOh my! I'm not sure I've ever had a book recommended to me that is described like this.
DeleteHomeGoing & Raymie Nightingale! You're a sophisticated reader!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these yet, but I have noticed that American Housewife has been really popular at my library. :)
ReplyDeleteThese are all new to me but I hope you love them when you get a chance to read them! :D
ReplyDeleteHere are my Top Ten!
Great list! I love anything by Melina Marchetta, and Homegoing is a popular one. I still want to read it, but it's got like 18 reserves on my library... which is actually a good thing. :P
ReplyDeleteI loved Jellicoe Road when I read it a few years ago!
ReplyDeleteRaymie Nightingale has definitely gotten a lot of love on best-of lists, but it fell flat for me.
