Are there books that deserve more hype that you can’t stop talking about?!
10 Books That Deserve More Hype
I love to talk about books and share titles I love! Some of the following books are new titles and some are books I’ve hyped over and over! Was it difficult to stop at 10? Of course!
Books That Deserve More Hype
What books are you pressing into the hands of other readers?
I’m linking up today with That Artsy Reader Girl for Top Ten Tuesday. I struggled with today’s prompt a bit because I didn’t want to go the negative route (trust me, I have many books I’ve avoided) and I don’t usually read books because of the hype. I know my own reading tastes and rarely read a book simply because of the hype. I planned to skip this week, but then I was inspired by Pam @ Read! Bake! Create!: “10 Books Deserving More Hype.” So, I’m using her spin on the topic!

Fab list Carol. I totally agree about The Choice, such a good book!
I think maybe I got the title from you! 🙌💖
I like the positive tilt you gave to the prompt. I’ve read 8 of the 10 you listed, and I totally agree!
Thanks! Im thrilled to hear you’ve read so many on my list! 🙌
BTW…. I had difficulty commenting on your post so I’ll comment here…I loved Thorn Birds! And one hyped book I ended up reading and loving was the Hunger Games trilogy!
I loved Project Hail Mary and can’t wait for the film!
It will be sooo good! 🤞🤞🤞
Homegoing does sound good.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
It’s an ambitious read! I’m hopping over now to read your post!
Good way to tweak the topic. I totally agree on the one I’ve read–Bookwoman of Troublesome Creek–I was so angry with JoJo Moyes doing the same book and getting hit with plagiarism for her effort. She swanned into a small Kentucky town and stayed about two weeks then wrote her book. I’d LOVED her books until them. Bookwoman should have got the movie deal.
Yes…Book Woman deserved that movie deal!
I like this twist on the topic, and I’m happy that I’ve at least heard of a few of the books on your list. I hope you have a fabulous week.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting! I’m hopping over now to read your post!
You did a fantastic job with your list this week Carol! I have The Choice on my TBR, it looks like I may need to bump it up the list a bit after seeing it here.

Thanks for the late night inspiration Pam! 🙌
I love your effort to get these books noticed. I haven’t heard of most of them. I cannot think of a book off the top of my head since I have Marin authors and publishers I stick with. I don’t stray too much from that.
Thanks Carla! It’s fun to shout out my favs!
Great spin on the topic! I totally agree about Project Hail Mary. Such a wonderful book, and I didn’t expect to love it as much as I did!
Yes, probably my most surprising read over the last few years! I love when that happens!
I love this twist on the topic! I’ve read three of these books and, I agree, they need more hype because they are fantastic reads. I’m glad they got a shout out today.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Thanks Susan! I’m hopping over to read your post!
I can’t believe I’ve only read 4 of these. I do have another three on my TBR though. I like this take on the Top Ten, Carol.
Thanks Carla! It was a fun list to make!
