Top Ten Tuesday-- Backlist Poll

Top Ten Tuesday is a really cool original feature/weekly meme now hosted over at That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week they post a new Top Ten List that bloggers join in on answering... and today (April 17th) I'm one of them :)

Today's Topic

Top Ten Backlist Books I Own That I Need To Read ASAP



  • So, last month I asked you guys for help picking a backlist book to read (it's my goal this year to read some of the oldies that I own), and I finished the book you picked!!  Now, I need your help again.  Since this TTT is a Freebie, I'm using it to list 10 books that I own and have been wanting to read-- and at the end, I need you to vote on which one I will read next:




1.  Sway by Kat Spears
  • Why it made the TBR: I really liked the other 2 Kat Spears books that I've read!

2.  Silent Alarm by Jennifer Banash
  • Why it made the TBR: I like books about the tough stuff.

3.  Roomies by Sara Zarr & Tara Altebrando
  • Why it made the TBR: Because YA about COLLEGE!!!  And I like both authors!

4.  And We Stay by Jenny Hubbard
  • Why it made the TBR: Because Paper Covers Rock was good and I was interested to see what else this author would do.

5.  Life Unaware by Cole Gibsen
  • Why it made the TBR: I like the popular turned pariah trope.





6.  Hello? by Liza Wiemer
  • Why it made the TBR: I had heard good things about it, and then I met the author and she's SO nice.

7.  Get Dirty (Don't Get Mad #2) by Gretchen McNeil
  • Why it made the TBR: I really liked the first book in the series.  It had PLL-vibes.

8.  Hung Up by Kristen Tracy
  • Why it made the TBR: Lost it was one of my FAVE books before I started blogging.

9.  Raw Blue by Kristy Eagar
  • Why it made the TBR: Besides Jellicoe Road (sorry it was too confusing), I haven't read an Aussie book that I haven't liked.

10.  A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis
  • Why it made the TBR: Because I discovered the magic of Mindy in 2016 and decided I needed MORE.



I know a lot of these are older & maybe not that popular, but even if you don't know the books vote for which ever one sounds good, or whichever cover catches your eye--anything!! Vote, vote, vote!!

  3. Ooh voting. I like the look of several of thee, but I voted for Get Dirty because I liked the first book too. Fun. :) Life Unaware I'm totally clueless about but I like that cover!

  4. I voted for Raw Blue because I've been wanting to try a Kirsty Eager book for years (and I'm pretty sure I have one in my stack). Fellow Aussie fiction fan. (What -- you didn't like Jellicoe Road *gives you the side-eye*)

  5. I loved Hello? So much. I am adore mixed format books, and I have a soft spot for stories about connection, because I am always lamenting about how we, society, are becoming more disconnected.

  6. What a great topic idea! I picked the Mindy McGinnis, and it looks like I'm not alone in that pick. :)

  8. I've also been interested in reading Raw Blue. tbh I don't really remember what it's about but I've seen a few of my favorite bloggers talk about it a lot so of course it has to go on the list.

    If you're looking for other Aussie YA, I highly recommend Fiona Wood's WILDLIFE. There are two other companion novels to it but that one definitely takes the cake. I hope you enjoy Raw Blue :)

  10. I haven't read any of these, but they sound perfect for you since they're almost all authors and series and tropes that you like! And I love the cover for Roomies!
