Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
Ooh nice picks! Seeing a lot of The Astral Library today! I actually have this one on my watchlist! Hoping a few reviews will help convince me that it's the right book for me as well! Lol. Hope you enjoy all of these at some point this year when you get to read them!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Lots of happy reading to come.
ReplyDeleteAny new Ann Patchett or Kate Quinn goes very high on my list. I didn't know either of these were coming out!
ReplyDeleteI have the Strout, Saunders, and Patchett on my radar too. Look good!
ReplyDeleteWhistler by Ann Patchett is going on my TBR. Thanks for sharing and for stopping by earlier.
ReplyDeleteLooks like an interesting collection!
ReplyDeleteI've seen The Astral Library on a lot of lists this week!
ReplyDeleteA great selection Deb, thanks for sharing your #TTT
ReplyDeleteI have the Quinn and Patchett books on my Goodtrads list too.
ReplyDeleteI read several Elizabeth Strout books a number of years ago and really enjoyed them but for some reason I haven't picked up her latest books. I need to fix that! I have the Katherine Center book on my list and the Kate Quinn is also calling my name. Great list!
ReplyDeleteI'm very much looking forward to The Astral Library. Already have placed it on hold at my library - of course, right now it's 'on order' for them. Also noting a new Katherine Center book. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI have seen the Whistler on a lot of lists today!
ReplyDeleteAdding the Ada Limon poetry book to my list. I wonder if I will like Vigil? Saunders is one of my favorites but I didn't like his short stories.
ReplyDeleteI wondered what book of his you did not like.
DeleteThe Astral Library is on my list too! It sounds so fun 😊.

I had to come to see which two we have in common! I think just about everyone I have visited has The Shippers on it. What is it about Katherine Center that she appeals to a wide range of readers? The Kate Quinn book sounds a bit different but she is such a good story teller.
ReplyDeleteI've been fortunate enough to meet and speak to Katherine Center twice, and I would say that her sweet spirit permeates her stories.
DeleteThe Astral Library sounds good! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteThe Astral Library has been a popular choice this week. I'm interested to see how it is, as it's a different genre for Quinn.
ReplyDeletePam @ Read! Bake! Create!

I'm really excited for The Shippers! I hope you enjoy all of these.
ReplyDeleteThis week the meme is very dangerous to my TBR. I've already added 3 books and now I want to add Dear Debbie. That looks great too. Hope you enjoy your books when you get to them.
ReplyDeleteI hope they're good.
ReplyDeleteI just found out about The Astral Library today (on another list) and I'm already super excited about it! My TTT
ReplyDeleteVery interesting choices. Astral Library seems to be the book of the day! I've got The Shippers on my list, too.
ReplyDeleteGreat picks, Deb!
ReplyDeleteYes to The Shippers! I can't wait for that one. :D
ReplyDeleteI hope we both love The Shippers! and the McFadden book. I just got a copy of Dear Debbie and it'll be my first time reading McFadden. I've seen her books all over the place and have heard a lot of good things.
ReplyDeleteI've seen George Saunders on a couple of lists today but I've never heard of him. I'm sufficiently curious now though and will check out his books!
ReplyDeleteI have a few of these on my list. Kate Quinn's is one I will add. Thank you! My list was posted a few months ago, but it's still relevent if any of your followers are interested. https://lesleysbooknook.blogspot.com/2025/11/coming-soon-in-2026.html
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous list of books that are coming out this year! The poetry book sounds so interesting. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAwesome picks, Deb. The Shippers and The Astral Library made more than one list today. Thanks for sharing.
