This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Books On My TBR I Predict Will Be 5-Star Reads. I don’t always rate books I read because the 5-star rating system seems arbitrary to me (especially on Goodreads), but I will rate a book 5 stars if I thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to reread it again. I’m crossing my fingers that these books or series will make that list.
Red Seas Under Red Skies by Scott Lynch: Considering I’ve heard nothing but good stuff about this book and I loved The Lies of Locke Lamora, I have high hopes for this one. Now, I just need to read it.
Blood of Kings trilogy by Jill Williamson: I helped Jill fund the audiobook project for this trilogy, so I’m excited to finally read these books. I enjoyed the prequels, so I have no doubt I’ll enjoy these books too.
Between Burning Worlds by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell: Sky Without Stars was one of my favorite 2019 reads so if the sequel is just as good, it’ll be brilliant.
Aurora Burning by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: Do I even need to explain this one?
Splinters of Scarlet by Emily Bain Murphy: It seems like it was forever ago when I read The Disappearances for the first time and fell in love with Emily’s characters and writing. I cannot wait for this book. I might have to buy the US and UK editions because they’re both gorgeous!
The Faithless Hawk by Margaret Owens: The Merciful Crow blew me away. I still think about the world-building descriptions from time to time. I need this sequel ASAP.
The Nobleman’s Guide to Scandal and Shipwrecks by Mackenzi Lee: So far, Mackenzi Lee hasn’t steered me wrong. I’m so excited that she’s writing a book about the third Montague sibling.
Bookish and the Beast by Ashley Poston: I adore Geekerella and The Princess and the Fangirl, so I know I will love this book as well.
Ember in the Ashes 4 by Sabaa Tahir: If this is half as good as the other series (and if Sabaa ever finishes it), it’ll be amazing.
Aurelian Cycle 2 by Rosaria Munda: Fireborne had everything I could want in a story, so I’m looking forward to what happens next with these characters and dragons.
What books do you predict will be 5-star reads? Don’t forget to join the link-up!
Great list! Res Seas Under Red Skies made my list this week, too, so I hope we both enjoy it. I really want to try Ashley Poston’s work. Happy reading!

Yes! Now we just have to actually READ the book. xD
And Ashley has a lot of different books (some forthcoming), so you might find something in whatever genre you like best.

I loved the Blood of Kings series! It might still be my favorite of her books. Yes to Aurora Burning and Bookish and Beast, too. I’m excited about both of those. Hope you enjoy the Blood of Kings books!

I’m reading By Darkness Hid right now and I like it a lot. I don’t know if it’ll be a 5-star, but I’ll wait until I read the whole trilogy to decide since sometimes reading a sequel makes the first one more meaningful.
Thanks!

I’m really excited about Bookish and the Beast, too! I love the world Poston has created there, and I’m looking forward to reading more.

Yes!! I love that she’s able to do more. I never imagined we’d get a second book much less a third! And that title is perfect.

Agreed! I thought this was a standalone for sure when I first heard about it.
