MAKE A WISH! 11 OF THE WISH LIST BOOKS
Wishes take center stage this week as we feature books again, this time it’s all about wish list books. I feel like this is something we all can relate to because, well, I’m sure we always have titles that fit that aka the books that we don’t nab, but are curious about. So, it’s perhaps nice to spotlight those types of books once in a while. Let’s meet which books fit this category for me.
WISH LIST BOOKS
THE AGATHAS, KATHLEEN GLASGOW, LIZ LAWSON
This one uses Agatha Christie’s name in its marketing so I have long been curious about it. It’s one I think I almost ordered a few times too. Have you read it? Goodreads
THE BEST FRIENDS’ PLAYLIST, JESSICA KING
Apart from the synopsis, I don’t know anything about this book. But it does have 200 reviews on Amazon and the average rating is relatively high, so combine that with the cute cover and sure, I’ll add this one to my wish list. Just because I can. Goodreads
CONFESSIONS OF A GRAMMAR QUEEN, ELIZA KNIGHT
I’m not really sure this would be a “me” book based on the plot, but I have enjoyed lots of workplace stories and the cover drew me in, so well, maybe I’d give it a chance. It also has an endorsement from Katherine Reay, too! Goodreads
MAKE A WISH! 11 OF THE WISH LIST BOOKS. A list of #WishList titles I am considering adding to my (overwhelmed) bookshelf. How many have you read? #Books #BookList Share on X
STATISTICALLY SPEAKING, DEBBIE JOHNSON
This one is, like others on this list, from my “Dear Santa” wish list, and isn’t on my shelf so I’m adding it. Just because. This may not really be a “me book” just because I’m not drawn to women’s fiction but the whimsy of the cover art interests me and I’ve seen a couple films with a heroine who likes stats and numbers that I did enjoy… so that combined makes me curious. Goodreads
BOOKS by GABRIELLE MEYER
I am seeing (and have been seeing) so much good about Gabrielle’s books so someday reading hers makes me curious. Who knows maybe someday I will. I think I even added book one (she writes popular time slip fiction) to my B&N cart once, but then ordered something else or maybe I haven’t ordered again since then, I cannot remember Either way, maybe someday I’ll get there. Goodreads
HEIDI LUCY LOSES HER MIND, GRACIE RUTH MITCHELL
Like another on this list, adding this one is add since first I haven’t read book on in this series (so will I even like it?) and secondly, I haven’t read anything by Mitchell. So… is it something I’d enjoy? Goodreads
TWO SECONDS TOO LATE, DANI PETTREY
This one came out in April and is probably the first novel by Dani I didn’t get right away. To be fair, I did have it on preorder and then, well, that cancelled (the store cancelled it!). Why, I do not know. Goodreads
THE ENGLISH MASTERPIECE, KATHERINE REAY
It’s been, well, a while since I read Katherine’s newer releases. This makes me quite sad but also, when I do, there is lots to catch up on! Goodreads
POMONA AFTON CAN SO SOLVE A MURDER, BELLAMY ROSE
I’ve almost ordered this one a couple times. But then didn’t because I’m still unsure if it will be a “me” read. Have any of you read this one? What did you think? Goodreads
MIDNIGHT on the SCOTTISH SHORE, SARAH SUNDIN
Sarah’s books are always so well written and just… Good. Hoping this continues with this release, too. Goodreads
MR. NICE SPY, TIANA SMITH
Silly perhaps to have this one on the list (the second one at least!) since I haven’t read The Spy and I, which I did buy, but I did read Smith’s YA release, so I’m hoping to enjoy these adult novels. Plus the whole spy concept and that cover do make them seem like a good time. Goodreads

I’m curious about the Agathas, too. Could be really fun.
It sure does seem like it could indeed be a fun one, Anne! I’ve been really curious about it for a while now. Guess I just need to decide if I do or don’t want to add it to the TBR. ;)
Sometimes it really can be hard to tell in advance if a book is a “you” book!
Very true, Lydia! Which is why sometimes (in the case of a new author mostly) I wait and rely on reviews to help. :)
I enjoyed reading The Agathas, though I haven’t continued with the series.

Great to know, Pam! Thank you!
The Agathas was good! I would put it in the check it out from the library category of books, but I enjoyed it!
I’m so glad, Erin! It’s always nice to hear what others think of a book. :)
While I have not read any of them I too have added more than a few of these to my neverending TBR.
I know the feeling! I have a never-ending TBR, too! :)
I also haven’t nabbed it but I’m super curious about Mr. Nice Spy. The premise sounds great and I love the cover too. 😍
Right? So fun and cute! :)
You MUST read Gabrielle’s Timeless series. Like… prioritize it on your TBR list. Seriously. And start with book one.
And thanks for commenting on RimSP :)
I hear SO much good about Gabrielle’s books, Carrie! :) They do look gorgeous and I am definitely intrigued. Thank you for visiting here, too.
I do love the cover for Mr Nice Spy, it indeed sounds like a fun read. Hope you’ll enjoy all of these whenever you get to them!
Thanks, Lindsey! I hope so too – and same! That cover is so fun. :)
Mr. Nice Spy is a fun read! Hope you enjoy it :)
Great to know! Thank you for sharing, Lillian. :)
I have not read any of these. I have read a couple of books by Gracie Mitchell, they are hit or miss for me. I hope, regardless, when you read these, you enjoy them. Have a great week!!
That’s good to know, Cindy! I read authors/books like this sometimes too. Just depend on the story I suppose. :)
For sure!! And our mood when we read the story ;)
Absolutely! Sometimes depending on mood a story just doesn’t always suit. :)
I’d like to try The Agathas one of these days too.
It does seem like it’d be a fun one! :)
Great list! I am unfamiliar with any of these, but there are a few that sound really good. Knowing if a book is a ‘me’ read or not makes it so tough to make the jump and buy it, but when I’m not sure, the library has been an infallible resource for me. If I read and fall in love with the book, that’s when it goes on my ‘to-buy’ list. Otherwise, it’s a nice read and I supported my local libraries. Hopefully you get your hands on some of these and discover that they’re very ‘you’ books.
I’ve never used the library, but I know most readers LOVE it. I’ve donated books to my library, and I think my mom or aunt looked into using it when I was a kid, but we lived just outside the line for using it or something so there would have been a fee or something. I cannot remember the whole story but I think since I didn’t grow up using the library, I just don’t think about using it as an adult. :)
