We’re back with another Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.
This week’s topic is Most Recent Additions to My Bookshelf
I don’t know why I thought we’d done this one more recently but apparently the last time this was a TTT topic was back in January 2025! If there’s one thing about me, it’s that I’m as much a book collector as I am a reader (yes, that’s how it is) so unsurprisingly, I’ve made loads of additions to my shelf since the start of the year. 🤭 Here are ten that I’m really excited to get to!
Red City by Marie Lu
The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson
The Second Death of Locke by V.L. Bovalino
A Tempest of Ravens by E.A. Bard
The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow
Strange Houses by Uketsu
Heir by Sabaa Tahir
The Floating World by Axie Oh
Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix
Arcana Academy by Elise Kova
Do we have any similar recent additions to our shelves? Have you read any of these books or are they also on your TBR?

I have been seeing The Raven Scholar so much recently! I kinda want to get it too.

Oh I’m really curious for Red City and The Raven Scholar, especially the latter one it’s a book I’ve seen around heaps over the past months. The first one seems to have flown under the radar, despite Lu being a popular author in the past.

I hope you enjoy them when you get to reading them.

The Raven Scholar is a really high priority for me, just as soon as I grab a copy. A Tempest of Ravens looks fun too, and it’s new to me! Ravens must be a theme lmao

Always fun to see what new or recent bookshelf additions we’ve had! Hope you enjoy these all; Elise’s cover art sure looks interesting so I may have to take a closer look at that one. 🙂 Happy 2026!
