Top Ten Tuesday #24

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Books on My Summer 2022 TBR

This week’s prompt is hard for me because I’m a mood reader. I might plan to read specific books because either they fit a challenge, they’re for book club, or I just want to read them. The problem is if I’m not in the mood, there’s no amount of obligation that can force me to read a book. With that being said, here are ten books I’d like to read this spring, mood permitting:

The first six of these ten are books I haven’t read yet and ones I really want to read. The two Narnia books are because I’m a bit behind on the Narniathon, and the two Harry Potter books are because I started a reread of the series in 2020 and I didn’t get to the last two.

What about you? Which books are on your Summer 2022 TBR? Do we have any in common?

I learned in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) that life is full of dialectics, or two opposing truths. In this case, the two opposing truths are: 1) I don’t agree with JKR’s stance regarding trans people, and 2) I still love Harry Potter.

    I’m the same with my reading moods. I bet the cary Elwes one will be fun, and your list is making me want to revisit Narnia one of these days. 🙂

      I think AS YOU WISH will be fun too. I’ve heard it is, anyway. 😀 The Narnia reread has been fun. I’m not really looking forward to these last two, though. They’re my least favorite of the series. Hopefully, I’ll enjoy them more this second time around.

      Thanks, Leslie! 😀 I’m glad to hear you loved THE STARDUST THIEF, DATING DR. DIL, and LADY MIDNIGHT. I’m so excited to read all three of them. Good luck with getting WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING read before the movie comes out. I’m trying to do the same.

    I think Where the Crawdads Sing is going to be huge this summer, with the film so close! I haven’t read it, but the film trailer makes me want to. I hope you enjoy these!

    My next BC book is “The Violin Conspiracy” and I’m (as usual) reading some mysteries. I just got the latest Dr. Ruth Galloway mystery and I’m excited about that.

      Lol. I understand. I was trying to have WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING by the end of May, and then it turned to June, and now it’s hopefully before the movie comes out next month. 😀 Ç’est la vie!

      I don’t know most of the books coming out anymore either. I know some from following other blogs, but I don’t pay close attention to book releases unless it’s something I’m really looking forward to. 😀 I like to keep reading and blogging as easy and stress-free as possible.

    I hope you love Where the Crawdads Sing. I didn’t connect with it right away, but once I did, I loved it. I started listening to As You Wish, and I never finished. I don’t know why! It was great.

      Thanks! 😀 I hope I do too. So far, I like what I’ve read. And, I totally get starting a book and then not finishing it even though you’re enjoying it. I’ve done that too. It just wasn’t the right time for it, I guess. 😉

      The Stardust Thief sounds so good, doesn’t it? I’ve heard such great things. I’m excited to read it too. And, lol, about Sean Griswold’s Head. I sometimes can’t remember if I’ve read a book or not, but still have fond memories. Our minds are so weird sometimes. 😀

    I listened to As You Wish when it first came out. I loved hearing Cary Elwes narrate it himself. It was a lot of fun!

    My list is contingent on my mood too. The bad thing is that when I add a book to my list, it’s usually the last thing I feel like reading. I guess I’m just contrary like that.

    I hope you enjoy these when/if you read them!

      I’ve thought of listening to the audiobook because Cary Elwes narrates it, but I already own the physical book so I’ll probably just read it, lol.

      I understand about being contrary. I’m the same way, lol.

    I just finished the audiobook for Where the Crawdads Sing and I enjoyed it so much more than I expected since it’s not really a genre I read a ton of.

    I should also totally put that As You Wish book on my TBR!
