Originally, I was planning to give credit to the people who introduced me to these books in previous Top Ten Tuesday posts.
The problem with that plan is that a) I usually can’t remember who talked about them first, and b) most of these books have been mentioned by multiple Top Ten Tuesday bloggers before, during, and after their release dates.
Therefore, I’m giving credit to everyone has who blogged about these books.
Thank you for bringing these titles to the attention of the rest of us. You’ve enriched my TBR list and no doubt the reading lists of lots of other folks, too.
Here are some of the many books that came to my attention thanks to you.
1. Starter Villain by John Scalzi
2. Babel by R.F. Kuang
3. Camp by Lev A.C. Rosen
4. Anna, A Child of the Poorhouse by Pat Mattaini Mestern
5. Horrorstör by Grady Hendrix
6. Godkiller (Godkiller, #1) by Hannah Kaner
7. Daisy Fay and the Miracle Man by Fannie Flagg
Camp has been on my TBR list for awhile now! I’m going to have to read it (finally!) My TTT: https://www.literacious.com/2023/08/08/top-ten-tuesday-books-i-want-to-read-because-of-top-ten-tuesday/
I hope it’s great!
It is hard to give credit when multiple people post about them. I hope you have a great week!
Thanks. You, too. 🙂
Camp was a big favourite for me!
That’s awesome.
For as much as I loved The Secret History by Donna Tartt, I really need to read Babel… And Horrorstör is on our list for my IRL book club. I’m really hoping it gets chosen next. 😬🤞
Have a great week!
Thanks, you, too!
I hope Horrorstor does get chosen next for your blog club.
Great list! I had the same struggle, trying to remember where I’d first heard of certain books. I can’t wait for Starter Villain (love everything by John Scalzi), and Horrorstor is so good! I have a copy of Camp waiting to be read as well. Hope you enjoy these!
Thank you. Happing reading to you as well.
Oooh! New Scalzi! I hadn’t heard of it, so thanks for sharing.
You’re welcome. Enjoy!
The books I usually see on TTT are also everywhere on my social media feed and on my blog feeds so the combo of seeing them everywhere works well to entice me! 😂 Not sure if you’ve read them yet but I hope you enjoy them whenever you do!
heh, thanks! I’ve only read Horrorstor so far. 🙂
The new Scalzi book is on my list as of today as well, thanks to TTT!
Awesome!
Ooh I also really want to read Babel, since I loved her other series (The Poppy War). Great post!
Very cool!
Hope you enjoyed Babel!
Thank you.
A great list. I couldn’t remember the origin of mine either!
Have a great week!
Thank you. I’m glad I’m not the only one. LOL.
I love seeing what books TTT is influencing people to read. It looks like you have a bunch of interesting ones here.
Thank you very much.
Yeah, it’s very cool see how everyone’s reading lists have been influenced by TTT!
I wanted to credit people too, but trying to remember where I first saw the book was far too much effort. Hope you enjoy all of these, Lydia and as always, thanks for visiting my website today.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you understand that.
I am really looking forward to Starter Villain!
My TTT: https://bookwyrmknits.com/2023/08/08/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-tbr-because-of-ttt/
Doesn’t it sound great? 🙂
The Fannie Flagg book is the only one on my TBR. Babel was so hyped, I have shied away. Nice list, and I hope you enjoy them when you read them, Lydia.
Thank you. I hope you enjoy Flagg’s book!
It’s so lovely that we get so many recommendations from other bloggers. Hope you’ll enjoy all of these!
It sure is! Thank you. 🙂
I’ve only read one scalzi but I do want to read his Kaiju Preservation I think it is. Heard good things…
I’ve heard good things about that one, too! Hope you like it.
Starter Villain is something I’m picking up from this week’s TTT!
Yay!
Horrorstor was fun. If you do try it, I highly recommend the edition that looks like an Ikea catalog.
Thanks for the tip! 🙂
Horrorstör is funny. I want to read Babel too!
Glad to hear it. I hope you like Babel!
It‘s been a while, but I think I liked Horrorstör…
Cool. 🙂
I can never remember who recommended what either. I need to be better at keeping track! It’s so satisfying when someone lets you know how much they loved a book you recommended and I’d like to be able to spread that kind of love 🙂
Happy TTT!

I totally agree with you there! Happy TTT!
Nice work–I think some of these might give me nightmares LOL
🙂
I have yet to find a bad book by Fannie Flagg. Yes, some may be better than others, but they are all still enjoyable. Thanks for stopping by my blog earlier.

You’re welcome. That’s great to know! I’ve only read Fried Green Tomatoes from her so far and really liked it.
I really enjoyed Babel!
Nice.
Horrorstör was really enjoyable and probably one I wouldn’t have picked up if not for this community’s recommendation.
Nice!
Godkiller is on my list, but thanks to youtube
Very cool. 🙂
I definitely had the same problem-I usually see books on multiple TTTs and generally can’t remember the first one I saw them on, I don’t keep note!
A few TTT bloggers were able to mention where they first saw the books they want to read from previous TTT topics. I thought that was impressive!
Yes, I usually end up adding books after I’ve seen them on several lists, so it’s hard to pinpoint who recommended them. Babel is waiting on my shelf!
I hope you love it!
Great list, and thank you, because I’ve definitely gotten some great recommendations from your TTT posts! We’ve got some books in common, as usual, so hopefully those turn out to be good ones.
Thank you. What a nice thing to say. I’ve gotten great recommendations from your TTT posts, too.
Fingers crossed that we both like the books we had in common. 🙂
I don’t really think I thought through this prompt when I suggested it, since every time I looked up a book I thought TTT made me read, turned out is was somewhere else 🤦♀️
No worries, Ellie. I’ve misread TTT topics in the past, too.
