It’s time for Top Ten Tuesday. It’s hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. Do visit this fun blog and read all the other lists. It’s a lot of fun and you’ll be sure to add books to your TBR pile. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books I’m Looking Forward To For The First Half Of 2017.
Some of the books I’m looking forward to reading are new, but a bunch are some I’ve had the TBR pile for a long tome. And now in no particular order, my list:
The Mothers by Brit Bennett
The Daughters by Adrienne Celt
On Beauty by Zadie Smith
The Story of a New Name by Elena Ferrante
Eight Hundred Grapes by Laura Dave
The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows
The Princess Diarist by Carrie Fisher
Love, Loss, and What We Ate by Padma Lakshmi
So what do you think of my list? Are any of these books on your list? Let me know in the comments below. And be sure to leave the link to your TTT in the comments, too.

I haven’t heard of any of these, but I hope you have plenty of opportunities to tackle all of them this coming year. I have far too many TBR books I really need to find time to tackle this new year.

The eternal struggle of the bookworm, I think. We have a lot on the TBR and not enough time to read them all. Good luck with your TBR in the new year!

I love the covers and titles of both books. I hope what’s inside lives up to the covers.

What a fun list! I’ve actually read a bunch of them. I just finished the Carrie Fisher book today! It’s a quick read, but really enjoyable. I read The Kitchen House and Hotel on the Corner with my book group. Powerful reads, with lovely writing. And I though Eight Hundred Grapes was lots of fun too. Enjoy!

I’m glad to hear that about the Carrie Fisher book. I love gossipy Hollywood books.
