Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl
This week’s prompt: Freebie!
I decided on doing books with a salty, watery theme for this post. I am feeling the coastal vibes and this spring and summer I have been picking up books here and there that are in that vein. This list will be both books I have read and books on my TBR.
House of Salt and Sorrows || The Wicked Deep || All the Murmuring Bones
I loved both House of Salt and Sorrows and The Wicked Deep! They were excellent and I would read them again if my TBR wasn’t so long. All the Murmuring Bones is one I have not read but looks fantastic.
The Amalfi Curse || Saltwater || Wild Dark Shore
I have all three of these on my hopefuls for summer but I will only get to one of these. I am not sure which one will be the winner! If you have read these, let me know your vote!
The Lamplighter || Wait for What Will Come || Tidepool || Malamander
I got to ten way too fast. I have so many more!! For my last few though, I chose two that I have read, and two on my list. The Lamplighter and Tidepool are lingering on my TBR, waiting for their time to be read.
Wait for What Will Come is one of my very favorite Barbara Michaels books! It takes place in a crumbling old home on the cliffs of Cornwall, and I reread it at least once a year. Barbara Michaels is one of my comfort authors.
Malamander is a middle grade I read for the first time this year, and it was so atmospheric. I felt like I was in a Scooby Doo episode, or in Innsmuth, or somewhere equally creepy and coastal. I absolutely loved it.
And I still can’t believe how quickly this post went together. I may have to do a part two!
Still Life, With Cracker Crumbs.. 
Lamplighter is one I’m wanting to try.

I know what you mean to getting to 10 way too fast. I tried to limit what I’d bring north for summer reading. Didn’t help! I’ll never get through them!

I wouldn’t mind some saltwater immersion at the moment myself — problem is, everyone else has the same idea!

I surprisingly loved The House of Salt and Sorrow even though it was way out of my comfort zone. I also loved Malamander—it’s such an underrated MG gem! I’ve seen a lot of hype for Wild Dark Shore and I get curiouser about it every time I see the cover.

I saw Erin’s making the rounds when it released. It sure looks interesting and as if there would be a compelling story inside. Also, love your title for this post. 😉 Thanks so much for visiting my list today!

The Amalfi Curse is on my TBR for the summer as well, so I vote that one just so we can read it “together” 😉 hehe

An appropriate theme for today. I am on vacation at this moment sitting in a condo looking out over Flathead Lake in Montana. No is swimming, however. Me thinks the water is too cold.

I have read a lot of Elizabeth Peters books but hardly any Barbara Michaels books. Isn’t that odd given that they were written by the same person?
