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 Top Ten Tuesday topic is Bookish Wishes. Here are the ten books I’ve recently added to my wishlist, pretty much all of them historical fiction. Links from each title will take you the book description on Goodreads.
- Gabriel’s Moon by William Boyd (publishes 5th September 2024) – added because I loved his last book, The Romantic
- Star of the Sea by Joseph O’Connor – added after hearing the author talk about the book on the Between the Covers Live tour last week
- Shy Creatures by Clare Chambers (publishes 29th August 2024) – added because I love this author’s books and she mentioned it during a recording of BBC Radio 4 Bookclub
- A Trace of Sun by Pam Williams – added when it appeared on the longlist for the Women’s Prize for Fiction
- The Disappearance of Adele Bedeau (Georges Gorski #1) by Graeme Macrae Burnet – added when I heard the author mention during a recording of BBC Radio 4 Bookclub that a third in the series (A Case of Matricide) is coming soon
- The Accident on the A35 (Georges Gorski #2) by Graeme Macrae Burnet – see above
- The Instrumentalist by Harriet Constable (publishes 15th August 2024) – added just because I love the sound of it (no pun intended)
- Whale Fall by Elizabeth O’Connor – added because I’ve seen so many great reviews
- From Dust to Stardust by Katherine Rooney – added because I loved her first novel, Lillian Boxfish Takes A Walk
- Disobedient by Elizabeth Fremantle – added because I’ve enjoyed several of her previous books, including The Poison Bed
What Cathy Read Next... 
A Trace of Sun sounds interesting.

I haven’t heard of any of these, but some of them definitely sound like ones I would like. I’ll be interested to see what you think of them!
Happy TTT!

OMG… From Dust to Stardust is SO good. Mind you, being from Chicago helped me adore this book. I hope you get to it soon!

Well, as I noted in my review, having grown up in Chicago we had school trips to the Museum of Science and Industry every other year. One of the exhibits I loved to visit was the Colleen Moore Doll House. This book is a fictional story of Colleen Moore (using another name, but practically parallel to her life) and how she made the Doll House, which here it is called the Fairy Castle.
