top ten books i predict will be 5-star reads
posted by soe 1:33 am

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from That Artsy Reader Girl asks us to consider books that we just know we’re going to absolutely love. For the purposes of simplicity, I’m not going to consider books that are parts of series.

Books I predict will be 5-star reads:

  1. Nic Stone’s Shuri (my favorite Black Panther princess-scientist)
  2. The Telephone Box Library by Rachael Lucas (someone wrote a book about Little Free Libraries, essentially)
  3. The 24-Hour Café by Libby Page (I would like to live in the title of this book)
  4. Abbi Waxman’s The Bookish Life of Nina Hill (there might be more to life than reading?!)
  5. Sherry Thomas’ The Magnolia Sword: A Ballad of Mulan (I loved the movie; I love the author)
  6. Dreyer’s English: An Utterly Correct Guide to Clarity and Style by Benjamin Dreyer (I am a grammar snob)
  7. The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi (caper!)
  8. Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo (I mean, isn’t everything she writes brilliant?)
  9. Rebecca Stead’s The List of Things That Will Not Change (ditto)
  10. Yes No Maybe So by Becky Albertalli and Aisha Saeed (they wrote a romance about political canvassing)
  11. How about you? Are there books you are confident were written with you in mind as a reader?
