For spring, these are the ten books prioritized on my TBR Mountain. They are a mix of genres, include three ARCs (advance reader copies), and most have been reviewed highly by others. I’m hoping for some winners here. Have you read any of these or is one on your TBR?
I never plan more than ten titles for my quarterly TBR lists because I need to leave time for mood reading and review commitments. These ten books (in no particular order) are a priority on a much longer general TBR.
What is your most anticipated read this spring?
I’m linking up today with That Artsy Reader Girl for Top Ten Tuesday: Spring 2020 To Be Read List.

~Rainer Maria Rilke
“I love the world of words, where life and literature connect.”

Enjoy – and I just KNOW you’ll enjoy The Operator! Anything to make us smile is worth it these days!
I think I must start with that one! 👍😍
I’m so curious about Clap When You Land. I hope my library gets a copy of it in soon!
My TTT .
I’m overdue for a great YA…..hoping it hits the mark!
I’ve added Salt Houses to my TBR. Good list.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Thanks for commenting and leaving your link!
Lovely list Carol!
Thanks Nicki! 🙌😍
Ahh Clap When You Land sounds really good, I hope you will enjoy it 🙂 happy reading! 🙂
I’m looking forward to it! 🙌
So excited to see your list Carol!! I’ve just read 2 of them — Book Girl (which I loved fo her insightful look at specific books and their value in her life–plus lots of reading suggestions!) and also Liturgy of the Ordinary (which is in my top 5 books ever– have done a couple different reading groups with this books and it really changed the way I find God in my day to day. Favorite chapter– Waking Up) And– I’ve gotten several of your picks on my library TBR list. Sadly, our library closed today!! Even their book slots are closed! So the library books I have on hand and have read will stay here until they reopen– Who knows when??!) But back to the point– thank you for the great recommendations. I’m going to order The Salt Path on Amazon because I can’t wait until the library reopens to request it!! thanks thanks once again!
You’re welcome! …. Book Girl and Liturgy titles are from your recommendations!!! Do you have digital access through Libby for your library? Over 50% of books I read are through Libby. 👍😍

The only one I have on my TBR is The Red Sky Over Hawaii. Some of the others look interesting. I saved this post to read when I had some time to peruse your choices.
I just finished Sea Wife and I have mixed feelings about it.
That is too bad. I will watch for your review. I am slowly catching up on reading all the various blogs I follow.
