Welcome to my first ever Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and this week’s topic is the 10 most recent additions to my to-read list.
- Noumenon – Marina J. Lostetter
I stumbled upon this in my local book shop recently and the blurb stood out to me so much I immediately bought the book despite never having heard of it before, which is not something I often do these days.
- The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy – Douglas Adams
This is a book I’ve known about since I was a child, but have just never got around to reading it. As a huge science fiction fan, I feel like I really need to read this book.
- The Warrior’s Apprentice – Lois McMaster Bujold
This book is part of the Vorkosigan Saga, and it’s the first of several books following a protagonist called Miles Vorkosigan. This has been mentioned and recommended several times at the book club I go to as a really good sci-fi series.
- Ninefox Gambit – Yoon Ha Lee
I can’t remember where I first heard of this book, but I’m pretty sure it was somewhere online. The blurb sounds very interesting and I love a good space opera.
- Throne of Jade – Naomi Novik
Throne of Jade is the sequel to Temeraire, which I recently finished and absolutely adored.
- Dune – Frank Herbert
This is another very, very popular sci-fi novel I keep seeing and hearing about, and I know I really need to get around to reading it at some point.
- Mirage – Somaiya Daud
I found this book on Goodreads recently and I was intrigued by the fact that it combines both fantasy and sci-fi.
- Ascension – Jacqueline Koyanagi
Ascension is another book I discovered online when I was looking for book recommendations, it definitely seems like something I would enjoy.
- Swordspoint – Ellen Kushner
This was another novel recommended at the book club I go to, at first I wasn’t sure if it would be something I’d be interested in reading, but after investigating further on Goodreads I’ve decided to add it to my to-read list.
- V for Vendetta – Alan Moore
This is a graphic novel I’ve been wanting to read for many years but for some reason never got around to adding it to my to-read list until recently. I’ve read a couple of other works by Alan Moore (Watchmen and The Killing Joke) and really enjoyed them, so I’m sure I’ll like this too.
Have you read any of these books before? If so, which ones would you recommend me prioritising? Let me know in the comments!
