Top Ten Tuesday: 2017 Book Covers That Cause Impulse Buys

Even though Top Ten Tuesday is on hiatus, per Jamie from The Broke and the Bookish, I was feeling creative and wanted to post my own prompt for this week. I decided to highlight 2017 releases I added to my to-be-read list and plan to purchase/read purely based on their covers. Has anyone else been guilty of impulse buys because a cover caught your eye? Let me know in the comments if any of these ten books below made it on your impulse list, too.

Top Ten Tuesday: The Latest Books That Have Been Recommended To Me

For this week's Top Ten Tuesday, I decided to round-up the latest books on my to-be-read list that have been recommended to me.  A lot of what I read comes from other readers.  I love nothing more than when someone enjoys a book and then wishes to spread that joy with others.  It excites me and reminds me why I love reading so much.  Not every recommendation is going to be a hit though.  But I'll never know how I feel about them until I give it a try.  So keep those rec's coming!

If you see a book below that you've read and feel strongly about (either good, or bad), please let me know in the comments!  Or... if you have something else to recommend, I am always open to it.

1. Wild Swans by Jessica Spotswood [add to goodreads]

2. All in Pieces by Suzanne Young [add to goodreads]

3. Third Degree by Julie Cross [add to goodreads]

4. 738 Days by Stacey Kade [add to goodreads]

5. This Adventure Ends by Emma Mills [add to goodreads]
