Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, where book bloggers are invited to share their top ten lists centered on a certain theme.
This week’s theme is “My Spring TBR”! There are so many exciting spring YA releases coming up and it was so much fun to take my mind off of the stress of the COVID-19 pandemic by thinking about books.
Here’s the top ten books on my spring TBR:
1. Felix Ever After by Kacen Callender: I’ve been not-so-patiently awaiting this YA contemporary with #OwnVoices trans rep since it was first announced, and I’m so glad my wait is almost over!
2. Running by Natalia Sylvester: I’m loving all these YA releases centered around politics and elections, and this is one I’ll definitely be reading & buying for my library!
3. Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo: It’s by Elizabeth Acevedo. Need I say more?!
4. Lobizona by Romina Garber: A magical book about an undocumented immigrant teen from Argentina (with #OwnVoices Argentine rep)!
5. Don’t Ask Me Where I’m From by Jennifer De Leon: I’m always here for YA contemporaries with gorgeous covers featuring girls of color!
6. The Perfect Escape by Suzanne Park: Can’t wait for this YA book about a survivalist competition, with the cutest cover!
7. Mad, Bad & Dangerous to Know by Samira Ahmed: Samira’s debut was wonderful, and her sophomore novel Internment was even more amazing. I can’t wait to read this one!
8. We Didn’t Ask For This by Adi Alsaid: I’ve heard great things about Adi’s books but haven’t had the chance to read any of them! I’m hoping that I’ll get to pick this one up.
9. The Henna Wars by Adiba Jaigirdar: Will I ever stop screaming about how badly I want to read this YA contemporary romance about two girls with rival henna businesses? No. No, I won.t
10. All Boys Aren’t Blue by George M. Johnson: Can’t wait to read this memoir about a queer black teen and buy it for my library!
What’s on your spring TBR?
This is a wonderful list! I can not wait until Clap When You Land, The Henna Wars, Felix Ever After and Lobizona are released! I’m feeling a little iffy on the Mad, Bad & Dangerous to know book, probably because I’m a little concerned for the muslim rep. in it, but I have a feeling I’m going to like.

The Perfect Escape sounds good. I always think All Boys Aren’t Blue should be titled Boys Aren’t All Blue, but that’s just me being nitpicky. I hope you like these!
