Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week you compile a list of ten books which coincide with that week's theme. You can find everything you need to know about joining in here!
This week's theme is ' Books with Red, White, & Blue Covers (In honor of the 4th of July in the USA. Choose covers with your own country’s colors if you prefer!)', but I decided to do something a little different and talk about some books on my TBR that are set in the USA instead! Oddly I've noticed that a lot of these would be good books to read near Halloween...
The Diviners by Libba Bray: I've been meaning to read some Libba Bray for years and still haven't, and this series set in 1920s New York sounds so fun.
Devils Unto Dust by Emma Berquist: The first of two novels on this list to feature zombies, this book is giving me serious Blood Red Road vibes, which I loved, and I have a soft spot for characters called Daisy and Ben so I really should get this one.
Dread Nation by Justina Ireland: More zombies but this time on the battleground of the American Civil War in this YA alternate history novel. This is another one that sounds really fun!
Leah On the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli: Can't wait to get to this one - huzzah for bisexual representation!
Hex by Thomas Olde Heuvelt: I love books about witches and witch trials but I don't read much horror at all. Hex sounds so creepy and cool, though, so I'd like to get to it at some point.
The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager: I read and enjoyed Final Girls last year and this one sounds like it'd be a fast-paced thriller to read over the summer!
Things Half in Shadow by Alan Finn: This one's been on my TBR for years and every Halloween I mean to pick it only to get distracted by something else.
The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal: This is a new release that's giving me Hidden Figures vibes, something of a sci-fi alternate history novel about women wanting to get involved with the colonisation of Mars.
The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin: I've heard great things about this novel so far, about a group of siblings who learn when they're going to die and how it effects the rest of their lives.
Unbury Carol by Josh Malerman: This one sounds like Sleeping Beauty gone wrong meets a western, which is a story I didn't know I needed until now.
