Hey there bookworms. We’ve all got a book wishlist where we list and list … and list books that we need to buy! I know I have one and it’s miles long and nowhere near ending! Today we get to share ten of those books! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is a Ten Books You’d Buy Right This Second! It’s pretty self explanatory but imagine if someone just handed you a fully loaded Barnes and Noble (or whichever bookstore) gift card and told you to go crazy. I would totally go crazy of course. — Side thought: how come book stores don’t have shopping carts? — While I have hundreds on my to buy list, I’ll share some of the ones that I’ve been wanting to buy for a long time!
Ten Books I’d Buy Right Now!
1. UK Version of the Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas: So I already have the books but I really love the UK version because of all the white. It looks so clean and neat haha
2. What We Saw by Aaron Hartzler: I’ve really gotten interested in reading more books with raped victims because their stories are so interesting and gripping. This one really stood out because it involved a community who tried to hide the crime — which is actually what happened in a real life rape case.
3. A Torch Against the Night by Sabaa Tahir: Okay, okay. I know it’s not out yet but I really need it. I tried not to put in books that haven’t been released but, it’ll be out in like 4 weeks! Plus, I have yet to pre-order (trying to save money haha) so I would totally use a gift card to get me this pre-order
4. Trials of Apollo by Rick Riordan: It’s been a while since this one was released and I haven’t read a Rick Riordan book since Blood of Olympus (I really did not like that book!). But I think I’ve forgiven Riordan and can read his books again haha
5. Magnus Chase and the Gods of Asgard by Rick Riordan: So basically the same as Trials of Apollo but I am excited to read about a different kind of mythology! (Omg I love Loki!)
6. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (Illustrated) by J.K. Rowling: Look how beautiful that is! I want to get the entire series illustrated. I have yet to buy it because it’s so pricey!
7. Harry Potter and the Cursed Child by J.K. Rowling: I think I’m the only one right now who doesn’t have their hands on this book and spoilers are real my friends!
8. Things We Know By Heart by Jessi Kirby: I’ve had this on my list for like 2 years now. It’s about time that I buy it lol
9. The Hunger Games Foil Edition Box Set by Suzanne Collins: Classic. Lol just kidding. It’s not but THG means a lot to me and the foil looks so beautiful!
10. Jane Austen Box Set (Penguin Classic Hardcovers): Another beauty! It doesn’t really need an explanation haha
What books would you buy right now? Let me know below!
First of all: read the Cursed Child. Second of all, I don’t even know if you did it on purpose, but you made Curse Child number 7!!! 7 as in magic number!! I’m sorry I’ve been in Harry Potter mode ever since I just finished Cursed Child.

Oh I have read What we Saw and I LOVED it. That is a great choice. I recently splurged on the illustrated version of Harry Potter and it is so GORGEOUS. I want to collect them all, but yeah they are a bit expensive. Great list. Here is mine: https://bookbinges.blogspot.it/2016/08/top-ten-tuesday-gift-card-wish-list.html

The Penguin Classics set is stunning. I see them taunting me everytime I go to my local book store and I swear one of these days I will cave and end up buying the set. 😛
I’ve not read many rape victim books but the ones I have read have been great. What We Saw definitely sounds interesting considering it turned into a town cover up. I’ll keep my eye on that book.
You cannot go wrong with Rick Riordan and I love that he’s exploring the Norse mythology now. I need to get my hands on that book. 😀

Haha I try to stay away from it because I’m not strong enough to resist. I love that’s he doing Norse. We definitely need to learn more about Norse myth.
