Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Todayās topic is Books on My Spring 2025 to-Read List
I haven’t done a very good job of reading from my TBR so far this year, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have books on my TBR. It’s a symbol of hope. That I’ll actually read these books. We shall see. š
Top Ten Books on My Spring 2025 TBR
- The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst – I’ve posted this book on a few TBR lists already and I still haven’t read it! I don’t know what’s the holdup but I hope I’ll get to it this spring!
- The Dungeon Anarchist’s Cookbook by Matt Dinniman – The third book in the series; I read the first two months ago and I desperately want to continue the adventure. It’s so much fun!
- Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros – I didn’t like the second book as much as the first, and I’ve heard mixed reviews about this one, which scares me, but either way, I feel like I have to see it through.
- The Lost Tarot by Sarah Henstra – The gorgeous cover reeled me in, and I love stories about divination, so it found its way into my TBR!
- The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston – Another one that’s been in my TBR for ages. It’s got good reviews so I really want to read it.
- The Terror by Dan Simmons – I’m quite excited about this one. I’ve had it on the waitlist since December last year and it’s supposed to get to me soon! Fingers crossed!
- Rose Madder by Stephen King – I’m on a personal Stephen King reading challenge and I heard great things about this book. It will be my first time reading it. I’m excited!
- The God of the Woods by Liz Moore – I love mystery thrillers and this one intrigued me. I also heard a lot of good things about the book and author so I thought I’d try it.
- Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales by Heather Fawcett – I loved the first book, was a little disappointed with the second, but I love the characters and want to visit with them again!
- The Other Valley by Scott Alexander Howard – This one is so interesting; it’s a scifi with a time element, which I always love. Can’t wait to get to this!
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?
I’ve been seeing The Spell Shop making all of the Top Ten book list rounds so I know it’s a fan favorite of this past year. Ashley’s books also look fun and going strictly on looks, they seem spring-y! š Hope you enjoy.
Thank you! I’ve been seeing The Spellshop everywhere too and it’s really bugging me to read it! LOL
I liked The God of the Woods and wasn’t prepared for how complex it was.
I’m really looking forward to reading it!
These look good. I do my TBR lists for fun. The only ones I generally get done are my deadline ones.
Emily Wilde’s Compendium of Lost Tales is good š
Enjoy them when you get to them!
Have a great week!

Thank you!
I feel the same way about my TBR! Maybe there’s some hope for us somehow? The first Emily Wilde book is on my list, so I hope you’ll love the third! I’ve also heard only good things about The Seven Year Slip. I hope you’ll love all these books when you get to read them š

Thank you! I hope you enjoy the first Emily Wilde too!
It seems like Onyx Storm is on a lot of people’s lists!
Yes, it’s so popular now! I just started and I’m unsure about it but I have to see it through.
I just finished The Spellshop and I absolutely adored it!! I hope you love it as much as I did when you get to it!
Love to hear this! Thank you!
Iām curious about The Other Valley, too!
It sounds so intriguing!
I’m also excited to read The Spell Shop, Seven Year Slip and God of the Woods. They sound amazing and I’ve heard so many great things about all three. I hope you enjoy all of these whenever you read them š
Thank you! I’m pretty excited for all three!
The third Emily Wilde was a disappointment for me, but I loved the second one! I’m still conflicted on my thoughts about Onyx Storm LOL.

Aww, I’m sorry to hear that. I hope there are still some good things about it though. I just started Onyx Storm and I’m already apprehensive.
I’ve heard great things about The Terror! It’s on my big list (but not my spring list)
I’m excited and nervous to read it!
Not reading from our TBRs is not a sign of failure, it just means we have more to choose from later! Have a great week.
I love that! I am spoiled for choices!
I loved The Spellshop, The Seven Year Slip and Onyx Storm and I still need to start the Emily Wilde series š Hope you’ll love all of these!
Thank you!! I’m excited for them!
The cover of The Spellshop is so pretty! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
It really is!
I loved The Seven Year Slip and Emily Wilde. I only recently got round to reading Iron Flame, and felt it went on forever so I:m not jumping at Onyx Storm but I know I’ll read it eventually š
Lol I get it! Enjoy your books and savor them when you can!
I’m partway through the new Emily Wilde, but stalled out due to life stuff. Gonna try and get back into it this evening — I’ve really liked it so far! Hope you enjoy it too.
Thank you! I hope you continue to enjoy Emily Wilde!
I love the TBR as a symbol of hope! š I have The Spellshop on my TBR also, and while it didn’t make today’s list, I do hope to read it soon.
I’ve got so many on the TBR that didn’t make the list either, but I know they’re there lurking in the corner of my brain! š
I need to catch up on the Emily Wilde books! Enjoy!
Thanks! I hope you do too!
I liked THE GOD OF THE WOODS for the most part. THE TERROR sounded really appealing to me, but I ended up DNFing it because I was bored. I hope you enjoy all these!
Happy TTT!

Oh no! I’m just starting to read The Terror. So far so good!
Hi! I hope you might like The Terror …. we saw the TV series which was good (but I haven’t read the big book!) …. I listened to the audio of The God of the Woods … and wasn’t as thrilled about it as everyone else. I liked it okay but didn’t love it. There are some pretty unlikable characters. See what you think.
I didn’t love onyx storm… (I know, I know) but I totally get what you mean about seeing it through! I’ve been meaning to read seven year slip for ages, I love Ashley Poston!
