Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new theme is suggested for bloggers to participate in. This week’s prompt is Books on my 2020 TBR I Predict Will be 5-Star Reads!
Hello Readers! January seemed to last forever, but I feel like I had a productive month. However, I did not have a single 5-star read last month. And I am not a reader that is stingy with granting five stars. Most of the books I read end up somewhere between three to four and a half stars. It’ll be interesting to look back at the end of the year and see how many of my predictions were accurate. I will not be including any books that will be rereads.
(Link to synopsis on Goodreads through the book title.)

Have you read any of these? Did you give them five stars? Let me know in the comments!
Happy Wandering!
DAISY JONES AND THE SIX, ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE are definitely fives! About starred reviews
Yay!! I’m so excited for both of them. 🙂
All the Light We Cannot See. Yes. A definite yes. I hear such amazing things about Song of Achilles and Daisy Jones and the Six. I hope you end up reading them all and loving them all.
I guess I need to make sure and move All the Light to the top of my tbr if my first two comments are saying it’s a definite 5-star read. 🙂
Loved Six of Crows and anything by Katherine Center. So many of these books are on my TBR list!
Yes! I’m a big Katherine Center fan. I feel like anything by her is a guaranteed 5-stars. 🙂
These all sound great. I’m super excited about Chain of Gold as well. I hope these all turn out to be 5 star reads. Happy reading!!
I’m so curious about Beach Read — I love that cover!
Yes! I hope it’s as good as it sounds. Fingers crossed! 😉
I loved Six Of Crows! I’m hoping that Chain of Gold is also great!
TTT
Six of Crows is at the top of my tbr! I can’t believe I haven’t read it yet. And yes, very high expectations for Chain of Gold. <3
I rated Six of Crows 5 stars when I read it.
I still have to finish Cassandra Clare’s previous trilogy before I can jump into any of the newer ones. But I hope you will enjoy it. The cover looks so stunning.
I’m so excited to finally read Six of Crows! And I’m all caught up with Clare’s books, except for maybe the short stories. I hope you get to them soon! 🙂
Yes, January did seem to last about a thousand years this year. LOL.
I’m super curious about All the Light We Cannot See.
My TTT .
Ha! It seems like everyone is saying that. I, at least, felt like I accomplished a lot with the month that dragged on forever. 😉
All the Light We Cannot See is one of the books that gets recommended to me the most. I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to pick it up. Hopefully this is the year!
What You Wish For by Katherine Center is on my TBR too! I should have put it on my list. Also, I love that Beach Read cover, so pretty.
I want an ARC so desperately of What You Wish For. I ended up with ARCs of her last two novels, but I have a feeling it will be harder to get one now that she’s gained popularity. 😉
I hope Beach Read is as good as it sounds. It’s getting a lot of hype!
All the Light got 4.5 from me but Daisy Jones got a solid 5! Happy reading!
Yay! I’m so excited for both of these! <3
Daisy Jones & the Six is a 5 star read for sure!
Yay!! That’s what I keep hearing. So excited to finally read it. 🙂
Daisy and the Six seems to be a favorite among bloggers, so I’m sure you will enjoy that one. I just had my first five-star read of the year, so you are not alone when it comes to wondering where those five-star reads are. Happy reading!
Oh, I’m glad you got your first five-star read! I finally did, too. I just finished The Kiss Quotient and I loved it! Happy Reading to you too. 🙂
I predict Chain of Gold will be a five star read for me too. I don’t know if it will be five star or not, but I do want to read In Five Years too.
Yes! I have high expectations for Chain of Gold. Hopefully it’s five stars for both of us. 🙂 I loved Rebecca Serle’s previous book, The Dinner List, so I’m hoping In Five Years will be the same. Happy Reading!
I’ve seen people raving about Daisy Jones & the Six so frequently, that I have to check it out! I heard the audio book is really good, apparently it has a full cast!
I think Six of Crows will be a 5 star read for me too. I plan to read it (finally!) this year but just going off everything I’ve heard. I already love it! XD
The cover for Chain of Gold gets me every time!! It’s so beautiful!
I hope all your predictions hold true and that all of these become favourites!!
Happy Reading! <3
I actually got the audiobook of Daisy Jones because I’ve heard such great things, and I don’t typically do audiobooks. I’m excited to get to it! I’m happy to hear I’m not the only one who hasn’t read Six of Crows. Hopefully we both love it! And I can’t wait to get my hands on Chain of Gold. 😉 Happy Reading to you, too!
Song of Achilles is AMAZING! I also intend to read Five Years From Now pretty soon and I’m hoping that’s great.
Oh yay! I keep hearing so many good things. I’m excited to get to it! Hopefully we both love In Five Years, too!
I hope these all turn out to be 5 stars for you! All The Light We Cannot See is one of my all-time favorites.
I’ve had several comments saying ATLWCS is a top read. I think I need to move it up the tbr! 😉
Six of crows and all the light we cannot see are two of my favorite books with 5-star ratings? I hope you enjoy them both and your predictions come true!
I’ll be interested to read your thoughts on one five years’ since I have pre ordered that book to read in March/April too?
Those are the top two everyone else agrees are five-star reads. I’m excited to finally get to them!
I’m *planning* on having In Five Years done by March and I will be sure to post a review! <3
Six of Crows got 5 stars from me! It’s an amazing book and the sequel is even more awesome. I’ve heard great things too about The Song of Achilles. Hope you enjoy those books!
Very excited for both of those!
Song of Achilles ???
So excited for this one!!
I love love love Six of Crows!! I hope it’s a five star read for you!
Goodness, I need to read this one soon. The support is overwhelming. <3
Oh I LOVED The Song of Achilles, Daisy Jones and the Six and Six of Crows, so I hope they’ll be 5-star reads for you too! 🙂
I will be surprised if they’re not 5 stars for me, too, with all the glowing recommendations. 😉 I’m excited to finally read them!
Six of Crows was a 5 star read for me so I hope you enjoy it as well!
Very excited for that one!
Daisy Jones and the Six and All the Light We Cannot See are both amazing books. I hope you’ll enjoy them when you get to read them.
So much praise for those two. I don’t know how I’ve managed to not read them yet. 😉
I really want to read Six of Crows—I’ve been saying for years that I’m going to get to it. I even own both books. One day…
That’s me! I’m determined to make this the year! 😉
That’s a great mix of books. I’ve been wanting to read MISSOULA. I loved SIX OF CROWS and CROOKED KINGDOM. I think I started ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE and was enjoying it but didn’t finish because I got pulled onto other books. I need to pick it up again. 🙂
I’ve had all of these on my shelf for years. Hopefully this is the year I finally read them all! I hope you get to Missoula and get to finish ATLWCS, as well. 🙂
These all look great! Missoula and Bead Read actually almost made my list this week, too, but I ran out of room.
Ha! I know that problem well. Hopefully we both enjoy them!
Great list. Daisy Jones was a five star read for me last year so I hope you’ll have a good reading experience with it as well.
Oh yay! I’m so excited to finally get to that one. 🙂
I enjoyed All The Light We Cannot See, and Daisy Jones sounds like a great read too. Hope you enjoy all these 🙂
Thank you! I’m excited for both of those. 🙂
Six of Crows is definitely a 5-star read! And oooh, I’ve also read All the Light We Cannot See, but I think it was more of a 4 stars for me–beautiful writing, but a bit unnecessarily long.
And oooh, I almost put Song of Achilles on my list! Fingers crossed we both love it when we pick it up! 🙂
Oh yay! I’m so excited for all three of these. I hope you enjoy Song of Achilles, as well!
I should really read more Katherine Center. I really liked the one of hers I’ve read so far (Things You Save in a Fire).
She has become an auto-buy author for me. I loved How To Walk Away, too! I hope you enjoy more from her. 🙂
Daisy Jones & All the Light were outstanding.
I’m excited for both of those!
Oooh, I want to read The Song of Achilles, too. Hopefully we both like it!
Yes! I haven’t heard a negative thing about it, so I’m not too worried. 😉
I’ve read Song of Achilles, Daisy Jones, and A Breath of Snow & Ashes — all 5-star reads for me!! I hope you enjoy all of these!
Oh yay! I think you’re the first one to mention A Breath of Snow and Ashes. Happy to hear you liked it. <3
January was the month that wouldn’t die, it shouldn’t feel as long as it does, it’s the same length as several other months!
Six of Crows looks very good, and not just because of that beautiful cover! And The Song of Achilles has been on my radar forever.
(Maybe it’s just a problem on my end, but some of the links to Goodreads go the wrong books, like your link for “In Five Years” goes to “Faranheit 451”.)
Uh oh! Thank you for letting me know. I’m fixing those now! 🙂
Happy Reading!
The Song of Achilles and Six of Crows were both 5-star books for me. I hope you enjoy them and that February brings you some more 5-star reads! 🙂
Oh yay! I’m very much looking forward to those two. Happy Reading to you, too! <3
I’ve read Six of Crows and really enjoyed it! I hope you do, too. It’s hard not to just love Kaz. All the Light We Cannot See is still on my TBR, too. I’ve heard such good things about it, but I just haven’t had a chance to pick it up yet.
Yes, both of those have been sitting on my shelf for far too long! I’m determined to finally get to them this year. 😉
All The Light We Cannot See is definitely a five star read. Can’t wait to see what you think of it. I’ve both read the physical book and listened to the audio book, which I also highly recommend. It was fantastic!
All the praise for it has made me even more excited to get to it. Hopefully it’ll be soon! 🙂
Omg it’s a BIG yes to this list! SoA absolutely wrecked me and I remember crying a fair amount reading All the Light We Cannot See! Daisy Jones and SoC were also amazing reads ? I’m really excited for Beach Read and In Five Years too! I hope all of these end up being five-stars for you ?
Yay!! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed all of them. All the lovely words for these books have made me even more excited to read them. <3
Great list! I hope you end up giving them all 5 stars.
Oh thank you! <3
