Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Unread Books on My Shelves I Want to Read Soon. Oh my goodness, how do I narrow it down to just ten? Rather than pick out some of my oldest unread books (that would be way too embarrassing), I’m focusing on books I need to – as well as want to – read soon. So my ten comprise the seven books on the longlist for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction that I haven’t yet read, two books that publish next month and my book club’s pick for May. I can get through those, can’t I? Hollow laughs all round…
- For Thy Great Pain, Have Mercy on my Little Pain by Victoria Mackenzie
- Music in the Dark by Sally Magnusson
- Cuddy by Benjamin Myers
- The Fraud by Zadie Smith
- Mister Timeless Blyth by Alan Spence
- In the Upper Country by Kai Thomas
- Absolutely & Forever by Rose Tremain
- Estella’s Revenge by Barbara Havelocke
- The Small Museum by Jody Cooksley
- The Zone of Interest by Martin Amis
Which books from your TBR pile do you hope to read soon?











I can’t recommend For Thy Great Pain… highly enough, and it’s short!
