Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Today’s topic is 2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To
There are so many good ones!! There’s really not enough time in the world to read all the books, but I’m going to try. This is why I need immortality, Book Gods and Goddesses!! But I’ll settle for a superpower that stops time if you can swing that.
Top Ten 2024 Releases I Was Excited to Read but Still Haven’t Gotten To
- The Storm We Made by Vanessa Chan – This has been on my TBR since it came out last January because she’s a Malaysian author and I gotta support my fellow countrymen! I meant to read it sooner but I haven’t gotten around to it.
- The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst – I picked it up purely because of the cover, but it sounds really good too and I hope I’ll get to it soon.
- A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher – I’ve loved so many of this author’s books and I’m pretty sure I’ll love this one too. It’s got an interesting premise.
- The Girl in Question by Tess Sharpe – This is actually the sequel to The Girls I’ve Been, which I loved. I also loved a couple of other books by the same author so of course I need to read this one too!
- The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard – Saw it at my library’s featured shelf last year and have been borrowing and renewing it ever since, but still haven’t gotten around to it. 😅
- Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle – This one comes highly recommended by a friend whose book tastes I trust. I don’t know much about it, but I’m excited to read it.
- The Mighty Red by Louise Erdrich – Another one I saw at the library. I have read The Sentence by the same author and really enjoyed it, and this one sounds even better!
- Wind and Truth by Brandon Sanderson – This is the fifth book in The Stormlight Archives and I’ve only just finished the first two books, so it’ll be a while until I get to this one.
- The Booklover’s Library by Madeline Martin – I’m so excited she’s got a new book out, but The Keeper of Hidden Books is next!
- The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley – Picked it up at the library’s featured shelf and really loving the sound of it. I can’t wait to read this.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?
There are indeed too many books! There are way too many on my shelf that I was genuinely excited to read and still haven’t. Someday. 🙂 I’ve been seeing lots of good about The Spellshop. May mean that’s one I should read more about. Hope you enjoy these all!
The Spellshop sounds really good to me too. I hope you end up reading and enjoying it!
I was so delighted to get a copy of Ministry of Time, and it was just fine, but awfully long…in my humble opinion.
Oohh… that makes me feel a little unsure about reading it now. I’ll probably get to it eventually, but that doesn’t make me want to prioritize it.
I was so excited for The Spell Shop (and I still am excited to check it out) but I remember wanting to get my hands on it immediately cos it sounded exactly like my cuppa. I still haven’t read it 😂 I’m also very curious about The Ministry of Time and Bury Your Gays, even if the latter may be outside my usual genre. I hope you enjoy these whenever you do check them out though. Happy reading!
Thank you! I’m really curious about Bury Your Gays, it’s out of my comfort zone too but there’s been so many good reviews.
I can attest to the genius of Bury Your Gays. Is there such a thing as Fun Horror?
I’m pretty sure there should be!! I just read Guillotine by Delilah S. Dawson which I thought fell under that category as well!
I haven’t read any of these books either but The Spell Shop is on my TBR too! I’ll have to check out The Booklover’s Library too, it looks great. I hope you’ll be able to read all these books this year 🙂

Thanks! I hope you get through your list too!
I still need to read The Other Valley, too.
I’m excited about it. I hope you enjoy it too!
I have The Spellshop on my TBR as well.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I hope you enjoy The Spellshop too!
Oooh, I could have put The Spellshop on my list, too! (But you’re right, there are SO MANY books that I want to read and just not enough time.) I have read A Sorceress Comes to Call, though, and really liked it. I hope you enjoy it when you get to it, too!
Oooh, I’m glad you liked A Sorceress Comes to Call, I’ll try to get to that soon!
These look good.
Fingers crossed you get to read them soon!
Have a great week!

Thank you! I hope you have a great week too!
Seriously, not enough time to read!! I hope you do enjoy these when you get the time to read them. Have a great week!
Thank you! And I hope the same for you!
I still need to read book 3&4 before getting to Wind and Truth! I have Ministry of Time on my recent TBR. I hope you get to these and enjoy them!
Yes, I need to get to books 3 & 4 soon! I hope you enjoy them when you read them too!
I can confirm The Spell Shop is really good so far. I’m in the middle of reading and thoroughly enjoying it.
That’s so good to hear! I’m excited for it too!
I need to get round to A Sorceress Comes to Call, too! I always find Ursula Vernon/T. Kingfisher’s books really compulsive, quick reading.
Nice list. I have only read The Storm We Made …. which is pretty dark. A lot of war struggles. See what you think. Anything with Booklovers in the title … has got to be good, right? Have a great week.
The Storm We Made and The Mighty Red are both on my TBR list, and hope to get to the first one soon.
I’m curious about Malaysia.
