Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is Ten Most Recent Additions to My Shelf. Last year I was buying books like it was my job but this year I've been a bit more restrained so I don't have quite the stack. All is not lost however, and I did pick up a few books!
1. The rest of the Westcott series by Mary Balogh - I've been really enjoying this series and when I stumbled on the rest of the series at my local used bookstore I couldn't resist!
2. The Chocolate Jewel Case by Joanna Carl - I've picked up a few books in this series and I need to read them to see if this is a series I want to read from start to finish.
3. Mrs. Jeffries on the Trail by Emily Brightwell - I was so excited when I found this one. It's the next one I have to read in the Mrs. Jeffries series and I've had a hard time finding it.
4. A Ghostly Light by Juliet Blackwell - This was another one I was thrilled to find. It's the only one I didn't have in this series and I'm only about a book away from it.
5. The Murders of Richard III by Elizabeth Peters - I just finished the first Jacqueline Kirby book so when I saw I could get the second book in the series as a reward on Thriftbooks I had to grab it.
6. Other People's Summers by Sarah Morgan - I've really loved everything I've read by this author and had missed this latest book of hers. I'm really looking forward to reading it - it may be my pick for first book of 2026 buy I haven't decided yet.
7. In the Middle of Hickory Lane by Heather Webber - This is another maybe for first book. I love everything I've read from this author and I'm looking forward to this one.
8. The Scarlet Circle by Jonathan Stagge - I know nothing about this book or this author but it called to me at the bookstore so I bought it.
9. The Sandy Page Bookshop by Hannah McKinnon - This author has been on my TBR for awhile and I loved the premise of this one.
10. A Cruise to Die For by Heather Graham - This is the latest book I've gotten from NetGalley and it looks like a fun one.
What have you added to your shelf recently?



Those are some gorgeous covers you have right there. I think it's very funny the "i was buying books like it was my job" because girl same. Hope next year brings more cool books to your shelf!
ReplyDeleteNice list. I know what you mean about buying books when you know perfectly well you have some at home that need reading! I can't help myself.
ReplyDeleteOther People's Summers looks really cute. I like Sarah Morgan's books, too. :D
ReplyDeleteGood list! Glad you are finding the next ones in series you are reading.
ReplyDeleteAnne - Books of My Heart
I’ve gone through times when I have gone crazy making book purchases but I am trying (!) to do better now.
ReplyDeleteNice list! Enjoy your books!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list you've recently added. Great find with the rest of the Westcott family. I have just pre-ordered her most recent book in another series. I have an Indie bookshop in Auckland that sells romance and I like to support them. I wish I had a very good used book store but I don't. But I love her audio too. You'll love the Heather Webber book and the Sarah Morgan book was good too.
ReplyDeleteGreat mix. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteI think I buy more books than I should because most of my purchases are ebooks, so there are no physical stacks staring me in the face. 😅
