Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I've Read So Far This Year

Today I am participating for the first time in a weekly bloggers' meme called Top Ten Tuesday, created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week there is a new Top Ten List topic. This week's topic is The Top Ten Books I've Read So Far This Year . . . I thought I could handle that one for my first time.

Ok, deep breath ... here goes! My Top Ten Books for 2014, so far. You can click on the title below the picture to read my review:

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt.

Frog Music by Emma Donoghue.

An Untamed State by Roxane Gay.

The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine.

Astonish Me by Maggie Shipstead.

Dark Aemilia: A Novel of Shakespeare's Dark Lady. by Sally O'Reilly.

Sleep Donation by Karen Russell.

Lucky Us by Amy Bloom.

The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald. I did not post a review of this book.

Vampires in the Lemon Grove by Karen Russell.

Have you read any of these books, or would you like to? What are some of your top books for the year so far?

    Excellent list. The only one I've read is The Great Gatsby (love!), but The Goldfinch is waiting on my kindle and Frog Music is pretty close to the top of my wish list.

      Many in my book club didn't like Frog Music... But I thought it was so different & memorable! I re-read Gatsby because I planned to watch the DiCaprio movie--but instill haven't gotten around to watching it yet. :)

    I've only participated in Top Ten Tuesday for a few weeks. You did great on your first one! These look like some terrific books.

      Thanks, Joy! I like the Tuesday lists--I'll try to remember to do that next week. I am looking for other good memes or blogger-ish things to participate in, if anyone has suggestions!
