This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is 10 books on our spring TBR lists. These days, I’m trying not to plan out my reading in advance; I’ve been choosing books by whim, and I’m really liking it! But here are 10 books that I’ve bought recently, have put on hold at the library, or intend to buy and read as soon as possible:

1. Jasmine Guillory, The Proposal — I didn’t fall in love with The Wedding Date like so many others did, but I enjoyed it enough that I’m intrigued for this follow-up novel featuring one of its supporting characters.

2. Soniah Kamal, Unmarriageable — A Pride and Prejudice retelling set in modern-day Pakistan = sold!

3. Elinor Lipman, Good Riddance — I haven’t read any Elinor Lipman before, and I was honestly drawn to this book because of the cute cover. But I do like a good romantic comedy, so I’m excited to try this one.

4. Sophie Kinsella, I Owe You One — I’ve found Kinsella to be hit or miss, but the synopsis of this one sounds intriguingly similar to I’ve Got Your Number, my favorite of her books to date.

5. Jessica Khoury, Last of Her Name — If a novel is marketed as some sort of Anastasia retelling, I’m obviously going to read it!

6. Zen Cho, The True Queen — I loved Sorcerer to the Crown and have been waiting for this sequel for what feels like forever!

7. Tracey Garvis Graves, The Girl He Used to Know — I was lucky enough to win an ARC of this book, which is about a second-chance romance featuring a neurodiverse heroine. The publication date is April 2.

8. Lucy Parker, The Austen Playbook — This one doesn’t come out via e-book until April 22 (or April 30, if you wait for the mass market paperback), but I NEED IT NOW OMG. I adore this series of contemporary romance novels, and this one features a grumpy hero and an Austen-related plot!

9. Jennifer E. Smith, Field Notes on Love — I’m so intrigued by the premise of this one, which is that a guy and girl who are complete strangers take a cross-country train trip together. Pub date is May 5.

10. Beth O’Leary, The Flatshare — Another adorable premise: a man and a woman share an apartment but are never there at the same time (she works during the day, he works nights and weekends). Yet they forge a relationship by leaving each other notes — how cute is that?! Sadly, the release date isn’t until May 28, so I have to wait.

Well, that’s a nice long list of romance and “fun” books! Did anyone else notice a theme (intentional or otherwise) with their picks? What are you reading this spring, and what should I be adding to my list?
