Top Ten Tuesday-Books I've Added to my TBR Lately

Hey guys! I haven't participated in The Broke and the Bookish's Top Ten Tuesday meme in a while, but I've decided to put up a list this week. The topic this week is "Top Ten Books From X Genre that I've added to my TBR List Recently". My TBR list is honestly a muddle of various different genres, styles and time-periods. So I'm going to colour a little outside the lines and change the topic for my list.

Here are the Top Ten Books I've Added to my TBR List:
(in no particular order)
The Shock of the Fall by Nathan Filer
Lilian Boxfish Takes a Walk by Kathleen Rooney

The Unlikelies by Carrie Firestone


The Women in the Castle by Jessica Shattuck

See you in the Cosmos by Jack Cheng 


Aristotle and Dante discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Seanz

A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray

Holding Up the Universe by Jennifer Niven

This is Where it Ends by Marieke Nijkamp

With Malice by Eileen Cook


 Have you guys read any of these books? Perhaps you have some recommendations for my TBR list? I'd love to hear them in the comments section below!

    I've been wanting to read With Malice. A Thousand Pieces of You and The Unlikelies look great too.

    With Malice was really good!! It was kind of sort of an Amanda Knox retelling, but really suspenseful and well-done. I wasn't a big fan of This is Where it Ends, but I liked it enough to want to read more from the author.

    I loved With Malice, This is Where it Ends (well, loved as much as one can a book about a school shootings), and The Women in the Castle. The cover of The Shock of the Fall has me intrigued!

      I actually just started reading The Shock of the Fall- and I have to say, I'm not very impressed yet (but then again I'm only on page 20)

    I feel in love with The Inexplicable Logic of My Life Benjamin Alire Seanz. Gave it 5 stars. so I'm sure I'll love Aristotle and Dante discover the Secrets of the Universe, which is waiting for me on my iPhone. See you in the Cosmos is such a precious book! I gave it 5 stars too! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

    I've heard *phenomenal* things about Aristotle and Dante but have yet to pick it up. I hope you'll love it when you get to it.

    Nice list! I haven't read any of these but I really loved Claudia Gray's Star Wars novel Lost Stars. I liked it enough that I definitely want to read everything she's written. Happy Reading!

    I have read A Thousand Pieces of You and I LOVED it! It's actually better on audio because the narrator is amazing!

      I've never been much of an audiobook fan, but I've been hearing so much about them that I might just try it out. To start with, maybe I'll listen to A Thousand Pieces of You!

      Yes... we all seem to fall prey to the beauty of covers, don't we?

The Hero, by Rabindranath Tagore

 The narrative poem" The Hero" was written by Indian poet Rabindranath Tagore. Set in a young boy's imaginations this narrative has all the necessary elements and is rich in imagery. The characters, plot, setting, theme, climax and idea are all very clearly outlined.  The setting of the poem falls within the boy's imagination. It is described to have 'spiky grass' and a 'narrow broken path'. It is also mentioned that the country is 'strange and dangerous'. The rurality of the setting is further accentuated when Tagore talks of the 'cattle' and 'wide fields'.

I cannot remember my mother by Rabindranath Tagore

 The poem has been titled " I cannot remember my mother". It attracted me for some reason, for I thought that surely, a poem couldn't be completely empty. There had to be some form of nostalgia, or memory in a poem about no remembrance.  I realized after reading it, that I was right. In fact, the poem's title can be considered an oxymoron. However, the extent to which this poem is nostalgic, the amount of tiny details in this poem, wow. But I don't suppose Tagore was a Literature Nobel Laureate for nothing. This poem has sensitized its audience to the poet's colossal loss, though the poet ,it seems,has made no effort to do so. There is nothing superfluous about his writing, and the poem seems like a true expression of his love for his mother. It talks about how his mother managed to leave her presence on everything before she passed away, and how those little memories of his,form an incomplete memory of his mother.

One by Shawnee Kellie

  The poem "One" by Shawnee Kellie is a very interesting and thought-provoking piece of writing. The poem spreads the message that it is not only a large group of people that can make a change, but one idea, one thought, one human that can help make the world a better place.
