Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
It seems like there are so many good books coming out! Honestly, I found a lot of these through other bloggers on these Tuesday posts!
A Language of Dragons by S.F. Williamson looks so good!! Bletchley Park, dark academia, dragons… I can’t wait! And do I have to? No, because this came out Jan. 2nd! I just need to get it!
The Baby Dragon Cafe by A.T. Qureshim. I know I have mentioned this one, and I think I actually saw it the first on another Top Ten Tuesday. It just looks so adorable!!
The Rainfall Market – that cover is just gorgeous.
The Green Kingdom: I love the plot of this story, where the main character needs to figure out botanical riddles!
Whale Eyes: This memoir comes out in March, and I am very much excited to read it. It is “told through an experimental mix of intimate anecdotes and interactive visuals, this book immerses readers in James’s point of view, allowing them to see the world through his disabling eye conditions.” I have been trying to read more and more books that give voice to the disabled community, as my son is a part of it. I want him to read and see books that reflect this representation, because books are mirrors as well as windows.
The Secrets of Underhill: This one is a fantasy middle grade, and the main character is the daughter of a traveling arborist who treats magical trees.
The Curious Kitten at the Chibineko Kitchen: I can’t wait, it just sounds so darn good. It also sounds like one that might me cry, but that is ok.
Vera Wong’s Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man): I loved Vera Wong’s Unsolicited Advice to Murderers and I am looking forward to this next installment of her shenanigans.
Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales: I love love this cover! Little snail!!! Ok, and I love this series too.
And finally, the last one for this post.
Greenteeth by Molly O’Neill: Growing up, I love all books about faeries, and I remember just poring over the Brian Froud books over and over again, and reading the different tales of the magical creatures – like Jenny Greenteeth. I am excited to read this version about Jenny.
And that is it from me today my friends! I can’t wait to read everyone else’s posts and no doubt add a “ton of books” (as my son would say) to my list!
I can’t wait for the second Vera Wong! I also am looking forward to reading Bonded in Death and Framed In Death (the 60th & 61st books in a series I love one is coming out soon but the other one isn’t coming out until the fall). Onyx Storm; though I’m a little worried that I’m not going to remember all the characters/plots from the first 2 books. The Maid’s Secret is another I’m really looking forward to… I guess I really just love series!
You got me at Bletchley Park, dark academia, and dragons! Off to add it to my ever burgeoning lists!
Right!! It just sounds so good!!
Wow 60th and 61st in a series! That is amazing!
Oh my gosh, Onyx Storm is going to be so big! I have seen people talking about for weeks now!
I need to read that Maid series. I also see a lot about that one!
I think the cover of this third Emily Wilde book is the best yet! It’s SO cute! 😀
Several of these are on my TBR radar as well – and the Curious Kitten one has just been added!
I totally agree! I did see that there might be different cover versions for the first two books that match this last one in cuteness, but I didn’t stop and really look at them, if that makes sense. Lol.
That one just sounds so good – although sad!
I’m really excited for Green Teeth!
Whale Eyes sounds great, too. I have a chronic illness which sometimes causes disability when I’m having a flareup. We need so many more books about people who deal with these things.
Me too!!!
We really do. I would love to see way more representation in books for the disabled/chronic illness community. And not in a “Johnny has Cerebral Palsy” way, to explain it to others, but casual representation as well.
The Rainfall Market cover is stunning!! Green Teeth is all over today and I need to check that one out! I Hope you enjoy all of these!
Isn’t it so pretty!!
I am really excited about Green Teeth too. It might be one of the books I am most excited about!
Yes!! I love it! I totally added Green Teeth to my TBR. haha
I’ve found so many new books from other blogger’s posts too, it’s amazing! A Language Of Dragons and The Green Kingdom look amazing! I hope you’ll love all these books 🙂

Thank you Marwah! I know, blog visiting can be so dangerous for my TBR! Lol.
Emily Wilde and A Language of Dragons are on my list too 🙂

I think A Language of Dragons is going to be spectacular. At least I hope it is!
A lot of these are on my TBR too. I’ve already read Emily Wilde and utterly adored it, I’m very curious about Language Of Dragons and planning to order it into the library soon. Botanical riddles sound fun and I love books about the fae too 😍 I hope you enjoy all of these and that you have a wonderful 2025.
I need to request it soon too. I just read Dead of Winter though and that was gory that I need something really light to balance it first. Lol.
Thank you Charlotte!
Oh I know that feeling, particularly after a book I read a few years ago that literally gave me nightmares whilst reading it 😂🙈 I hope you find what you’re looking for and get the light read you’re craving.
I usually love the Japanese lit so it’s good you highlighted a couple …. nice picks!
Thank you! That has been a new thing for me, reading Japanese lit. I have learned I really enjoy it.
The Vera Wong series looks so fun. I need to give it a go one of these days! I hope you enjoy all these.
Happy TTT!

I still haven’t read the first Vera Wong book! But, all of these really look good, Erin! You have a knack for finding beautiful covers. Have you ever thought about framing them? That would make for a beautiful little book nook!

Lol thank you!! I am really drawn to books with vivid colors I think. Lol.
I have an arc of The Baby Dragon Cafe, I hope it’s as cute as it looks!
Me too!
I also want to read The Baby Dragon Cafe because the cover is adorable and the story sounds like it will be very cozy. Now i want to read The Rainfall Market for the same reasons
I agree!
There’s that Curious Kitten again. Well, you have to know that one is sparking my interest!
I love all the translated Asian fiction with cats!
I hadn’t heard of The Secrets of Underhill until today, but now that I’ve looked into it, I definitely want to read it!!
My TTT
I agree, there are so many great books coming out, but it is hard to keep up with all of them. I hope you enjoy the ones you do get a chance to read.
Thank you Cindy!!
I just finished The Rainfall Market. It wasn’t quite what I expected but I did enjoy it. I do recommend reading it in small doses. The rest of these look amazing especially The Curious Kitten which I am adding to my TBR. And of course the Vera Wong. I think I gasped outloud when I saw the listing for that one!
That is a good tip!!! Hmm. That makes me reconsider it a bit.
I am very excited about Vera as well!!
