Anyone who reads my blog knows that I love Jessica's weekly
Book Chat link-up over at
Sweet Green Tangerine, and
last week she introduced me to yet another book link-up. Today, I'm participating in my first Top Ten Tuesday link-up
, hosted by
The Broke and the Bookish. The topic? The top ten books I want to read this spring. I went through the 292 books on my
to-read list on Goodreads and picked ten books to move to the top of my spring list. They are in no particular order; some are on here simply because I already have copies and haven't read them, others because I've read rave reviews from my fellow bloggers, and others because I've had good experiences with the authors:
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Jonathan Safran Foer | The Night Circus, Erin Morgenstern | The Shadow of the Wind, Carlos Ruiz Zafon | The Poisonwood Bible, Barbara Kingsolver | Memoirs of a Geisha, Arthur Goldin | The Fault in Our Stars, John Green | The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown | The White Queen, Philippa Gregory | The Paris Wife, Paula McLain | Skeletons at the Feast, Chris Bohjalian
There is also one book notably absent from this list:
The Storyteller by
Jodi Picoult. That's only because I'm waiting for the paperback version to be released so I can buy it and add it to my matching collection. :)

New follower! The Fault in Our Stars is a must! Really good one! I've heard great things about The Night Circus, but the description just doesn't really appeal to me. Great list though!
Check out my TTT.

I have been waiting for The Fault in Our Stars to arrive from the library but looks like it won't happen before my move to New Mexico! I did just check out Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close from the library for my Kindle. Will have to look at some of these others as a 17 hour drive leaves lots of time for reading!
Just bought The Paris Wife! My "to read" list is miles long at this point - I may have taken a break from reading for pleasure, but I haven't stopped buying books ;)
loved the night circus and the fault in our stars! the storyteller is on my list too :)
I just read The Fault in our Stars and it is so good!!!
The Night Circus was great, Poisonwood is my favorite book, and I also loved TFiOS!
I'm in the middle of The Fault in Our Stars and I just started about 5 hours ago. It's amazing so far.
There are some great books here. You already know my opinion on most of these, so let me know how you like them! Especially The Night Circus...I want to re-read it already.
Shadow of the Wind is AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING. I am so glad to see that on your list!!
Now I just added 4 books to my already long list of must reads. Memoirs was just ok. I would have thought it would be better but nope.
The Poisonwood Bible is also on my list.
I loved the Paris Wife. Memoirs of a Geisha is SO much better than the movie and The Lost Symbol is pretty good.
I am currently reading The Night Circus and I think it's really good. It's a quick read despite having over 350 pages and I was caught up really quick in the story.
I have read The Shadow of the Wind a few years ago and I loved it. The whole universe and the books! Great story that I think I will read again some time.
I have also read Memoirs of a Geisha and although it is a rather long book (a slower read) it is very good and worth reading through. I thought some parts were long but in the end, I was happy I read it and that's what counts!
must do poisonwood bible!! It is so good. I need to read the night circus asap. I hear it was great.
Ahhh, I'm so jealous of anybody who still gets to read the Fault in our Stars for the first time! Enjoy!
I enjoyed the Night Circus...thought it was a really good read!
I'm going to have to add a couple of these to my book list! :)
Ok Megan, I blame you for the HUGE increase in my book reading. I was struggling this year to even get a solid start on my 100 books. Then you posted all these books. DESPITE the fact that I own Extremely close and havent read it yet, I added the interesting books from your list to my hold list at the library. In less than 24hrs of actually read time, I have finished The Night Circus. BRILLIANT is the best way to put that. I couldnt put the book down. I am now starting to read The Shadow of the Wind. Next up after that The Poisonwood Bible...All totalled up will end up being over 1000 pages read in a couple days flat. :)
I really loved Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, and anything by John Green is like gold to me. Fault in Our Stars is by far his best novel, but I love them all. Great list!
