Top Ten Tuesday #46

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.
Debuts I’ve Loved

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is “Debut Novels I Enjoyed.” I’ve read quite a few debuts and thought it would be fun to see which books I’d choose. I’ve decided to focus on new adult or adult novels I’ve read. Here are my top ten choices:

  1. Dune by Frank Herbert
  2. The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden
  3. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
  4. Dragon Prince by Melanie Rawn
  5. Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt
  6. Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas
  7. This Spells Love by Kate Robb
  8. The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary
  9. Every Summer After by Carley Fortune
  10. The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood

What about you? Which debuts have you enjoyed? Do we have any in common?

    Great list! I loved The Bear and the Nightingale, and didn’t even realize that was a debut.

    I enjoyed Throne of Glass, but it wasn’t until I got further in the series that I realized how incredibly it was plotted.

      Thanks! 😀 Yeah, it’s hard to believe that THE BEAR AND THE NIGHTINGALE is Arden’s debut because of how good it is.

      I’ve only read THRONE OF GLASS but I really loved the idea of the story. I’m excited to read the rest of the books. 😀

    I didn’t know The Bear and the Nightingale was a debut either, but I love the series! I’ve been meaning to read Dune too but I feel so daunted by the fact that it’s a huge series!

      it’s such a fun series, isn’t it?! 😀 As far as DUNE, I’ve only read the first book. It’s my all-time favorite book and I’ve heard things about the rest of the series that makes me afraid they’ll ruin how I feel about DUNE if I read them. DUNE works great as a stand-alone. 😉
