Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.
Ah, Goodreads. A wonderful source to connect with fellow readers, read and write reviews, and, of course, scroll for books that catch your interest. I didn’t start taking Goodreads seriously until 2016, when I signed back in after a five year absence and fully realized the wonder–and trouble–the website can be. For you see, I have gone down the rabbit hole of clicking on a book that catches my interest only to have a list of other books similar to the one I’m looking at pop up too. This often leads to clicking on the “Want to Read” button, then scrolling through other books, and repeat. Soon I’m buried in more books I will possibly get to in my life. It’s messy.
Today’s Top Ten is a look at recent additions to my ever-expanding TBR list, courtesy of the gift and curse of Goodreads. For the sake of keeping this small, I’m only going to share a few because then we’ll be here all year. Enjoy!

The Dreamers looks excellent!
My Fate According to the Butterfly looks really cute. I hope you get to read these soon.
Thanks, I hope you get to yours soon as well. 🙂
I want to read all three of those middle grades books. There are so many wonderful MGs offerings out there, and they always leave me really, really happy.
I love middle grade. I found a few that caught my interest recently.

I love Goodreads! I’ve been using it since 2012 but only started taking it serious around 2015-2016 when I started reading more and writing on a blog.
I had to add Silver in the Wood to my TBR because it sounds amazing!
Goodreads is great, but it has gotten me so many times. LOL.
Yay about Silver in the Wood! I’m glad to spread the word about upcoming books. 🙂

I really want to read Watching You. I’ve heard great things, and it sounds fantastic. I pre-ordered Shout because the author is coming to a bookstore near me so now I can go and get it signed, and I cannot wait!
