Top Ten TuesdayTop 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 Books I Wish Had More/Less […] In Them. Interpreting ‘more’ as the opposite of ‘less’, I’ve selected ten book titles made up of opposing elements. Links from each title will take you to the book description on Goodreads.

  1. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
  2. The Agony and the Ecstasy by Irving Stone
  3. War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy
  4. North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
  5. Angels & Demons by Dan Brown
  6. Sorrow and Bliss by Meg Mason
  7. Night and Day by Virginia Woolf
  8. Heroes and Villains by Angela Carter
  9. All Creatures Great and Small by James Herriot
  10. River East, River West by Aube Rey Lescure

West Heart KillWest Heart Kill by Dann McDorman (ARC, Raven Books)

You.
Yes, you, reading this.
Get in the car.

Sit in the back – you’re joining the detective and the other guy who’s driving. They’re both in the front. Don’t think about the other guy. He’s not important.

You’re going to the West Heart clubhouse. The country club that’s so swanky it’s in the title of this book. Kill. It’s not that kind of kill. Or maybe it is, after all.

You arrive, it’s the Fourth of July weekend and look – there’s cocktails on the lawn. What’s your poison?

Don’t flick forward. You just have to wait. Especially for the part when you find out what happens on page XX.

The TrapThe Trap (Alias Emma #3) by Ava Glass (eARC, Penguin via NetGalley) 

How far would you go to catch a killer?

This is the question UK agent Emma Makepeace must ask herself when she is sent to Edinburgh for the upcoming global G7 Summit.

The Russians are in town and Emma and her team know a high-profile assassination is being planned. But who is their target?

There is only one way to find out. Emma must set a trap using herself as bait.

As the most powerful leaders in the world arrive and the city becomes gridlocked, Emma knows the clock is ticking.

Normal Rules Don't ApplyNormal Rules Don’t Apply by Kate Atkinson (Penguin)

In this first full collection since Not the End of the World, we meet a queen who makes a bargain she cannot keep; a secretary who watches over the life she has just left; a man whose luck changes when a horse speaks to him.

With clockwork intricacy, inventiveness and sharp social observation, Kate Atkinson conjures a feast for the imagination, a constantly changing multiverse in which nothing is quite as it seems . . .
