Everything I Never Told You by Celeste Ng
2014 • 297
pages • Penguin Books
This
one has been on my radar for some time. I noticed that it was doing the rounds
on booktube a couple of years back and I mentally added it to my TBR,
Fast-forward a year or two and I finally got my hands on a copy. This sounds
like a cosy family drama/mystery that I could definitely get on board with and
one I can see myself devouring in a few days. At just under three hundreds
pages that shouldn't be a problem so I'm hoping to love what Celeste Ng has to
offer because I've heard amazing things.
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine by
Gail Honeyman
2017 • 385
pages • Harper Collins
I feel like most of you will have heard
about this one. Honeyman's debut is national bestseller, has been nominated for
numerous literary prizes and has even won a few, so naturally I want to see
what all of the fuss is about. I know countless people online and in my real
life who have loved this and I hope I'll be one to join this particular group
of book love.
A Gathering of Shadows by V. E. Schwab
2016 • 508
pages • Titan Books
Earlier this year I read A Darker shade of Magic, the
first in V. E. Schwab's "Shades of Magic" trilogy, and I loved it. It
had been on my radar for some time and I was craving a bit of fantasy so it was
the right book at the right time. Since then I've been desperate to pick up the
next book in the series so I can delve back in to this world. I struggle
with staying engaged with complex high fantasy - unless I'm watching Game of
Thrones - but these books are the right amount of fantasy for me. They're
imaginative but are still grounded in a familiar reality. This is one I have
high expectations for.
Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng
2017 • 336
pages • Little Brown Book Group
Despite having to yet read Ng's debut,
since her second novel came out I've been itching to get my hands on it. Is it
crazy to say you think you're going to love an authors work before you've
picked up any of their books? I know what I like and I think Celeste Ng is
going to be one of those writer's that I click with. I guess I'll have to stop
speculating and actually start reading.

So these are the books on the very top of
my current TBR and the ones I'm hoping to fall in love with. They're all
popular and well-loved books already so they've got lots to live up too. I
guess I best start reading...
