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 Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection. This is a constantly changing list but here are the ten latest arrivals at the time of writing. Links from the titles will take you to the book description on Goodreads.
The Mirror Game by Guy Gardner – a digital review copy for a blog tour, a mystery set in 1920s London
Yinka, where is your huzband? by Lizzie Damilola Blackburn – a proof copy of a book due to be published at the end of March and described as ‘a beautiful, big hearted story about friendship, family, and love’.
Sell Us The Rope by Stephen May – a digital review copy for a blog tour, a historical novel set in 1907 described as a ‘brilliant tale of revolutionary shenanigans in London’
The Streets by Anthony Quinn – a book I purchased after reading Eureka, this one is set in Victorian London and was nominated for the Walter Scott Prize for Historical Fiction in 2013*
Rose Nicolson by Andrew Greig – a historical novel set in 16th century Scotland that is getting rave reviews*
The Magician by Colm Toibin – a fictionalised account of the life of writer Thomas Mann*
The Silver Wolf by J. C. Harvey – courtesy of a Readers First giveaway, the first book in a series set in the Thirty Years War
April in Spain by John Banville – a charity shop find, the follow-up to historical crime novel, Snow (which I still have to read)
The Physician’s Daughter by Martha Conway – a digital copy via NetGalley, a historical novel set just after the end of the American Civil War
The Dust Bowl Orphans by Suzette D. Harrison – a digital copy via NetGalley for a blog tour, a dual time novel set in Oklahoma in 1935 and California in the present day
*purchased thanks to the lovely people who gave me Waterstones gift cards for Christmas
I’ve just finished The Silver Wolf – I thought it was an interesting read, though not a quick or easy one! I really enjoyed Rose Nicolson and I’ve also read The Streets, although I can’t remember much about it now. Happy reading!

I shall be starting The Silver Wolf soon to try to finish it before publication day but it’s a bit on the chunky side isn’t it?

Ooooh, so many of these sound so good! I’ve been very intrigued by the Dust Bowl lately, so I’m definitely going to check out ORPHANS. I hadn’t heard of it before now.
Happy TTT!
