Here’s to another Top Ten Tuesday brought to you by That Artsy Reader Girl. Again, sooooo many books I could list that fit into this topic, not because they aren’t stellar stories but with the overwhelming number of books available, readership is sometimes hard to find. I thought it would be fun to have actual photos of books from my shelves so I went browsing on my many, many bookshelves and pulled these ten books, guaranteed to bring enjoyment to readers who love their genres.

I’m really loving how these Top Ten posts are taking me to my shelves and giving me the chance to hold and remember why I love these books. There’s always something magical about selecting a book from a shelf – whether it be at home, in a library, or in a bookstore – feeling the weight of the book, the author’s words, and the story within.

Hope you find a few here to add to your own bookshelves today!

Books I LOVED

With Fewer Than 2,000 Ratings on Goodreads

Bring a box of tissues when you read [easyazon_link identifier=”1502340038″ locale=”US” tag=”relzrevi-20″]This Quiet Sky[/easyazon_link] by Joanne Bischof  – such a tender coming of age story that will take your breath away

I always imagined Russian tennis player, Marat Safin, when I pictured FSB agent, Viktor Shubnikov, in Susan May Warren’s [easyazon_link identifier=”0373785445″ locale=”US” tag=”relzrevi-20″]In Sheep’s Clothing[/easyazon_link], a fast paced romantic suspense set in Siberia

Jamie Carie’s debut historical romance, [easyazon_link identifier=”0739494201″ locale=”US” tag=”relzrevi-20″]Snow Angel[/easyazon_link], is hard to find now by worth it for the romance that blooms in Alaska, between Noah and Elizabeth

 

Gosh, I loved the Bug Man novels SO much! Tim Down’s forensic entomologist, Dr. Nick Polchak, is one of my all time favourite characters – super smart and wickedly awkward – and [easyazon_link identifier=”1582293082″ locale=”US” tag=”relzrevi-20″]Shoofly Pie[/easyazon_link] is just the first in this excellent series

I fell in love with Ronie Kendig’s writing from the start. One of the best debut novels I have read, so if romantic suspense and international intrigue is your thing, [easyazon_link identifier=”B01LXP3Y8I” locale=”US” tag=”relzrevi-20″]Dead Reckoning[/easyazon_link] is a must read

Gut-wrenching and confronting, Amy Matayo’s [easyazon_link identifier=”B019O6C558″ locale=”US” tag=”relzrevi-20″]The End of the World[/easyazon_link] will grab hold and not let go. The tag line says it all – A desperate boy. A damaged girl. And a dark house filled with secrets.

Robert Liparulo is a supremely talented writer – [easyazon_link identifier=”B006IED9FA” locale=”US” tag=”relzrevi-20″]Deadfall[/easyazon_link] is a clean and intense thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat

 

[easyazon_link identifier=”1935929356″ locale=”US” tag=”relzrevi-20″]The Restorer[/easyazon_link] is the first in a four book speculative series that is out of the box and excellent reading. As you can see my copy is well loved! These novels have been repackaged with new covers and well worth your investment

Another spec novel by the ever talented Karen Hancock, [easyazon_link identifier=”B00B5MLZK6″ locale=”US” tag=”relzrevi-20″]The Enclave[/easyazon_link] is an intriguing foray into genetics, adventure, and romance

As you can tell by the ravaged spine, [easyazon_link identifier=”0849943450″ locale=”US” tag=”relzrevi-20″]The Canopy[/easyazon_link] is one well loved novel. Angela Hunt takes you to the Amazonian rain forest with an intriguing balance of science and faith as a mother searches for a cure for herself and her daughter
