Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl!
The prompt this week is the top books you read on this day for the past ten years. Since I have only been tracking my reading progress seriously for a year now, I am having to pick an alternative prompt.
For this post, I will be choosing my favorite books that were published each year for the past ten years. For example, my favorite book that was published in 2026, 2025, 2024, etc. etc. Now, I will be choosing only books I have read, so I am not saying these are necessarily the BEST books from that year, just my personal favorites.
It is also important to note that Goodreads LOVES to say they do not know the publication date on the lists so I am only choosing the books that were clear when I arranged them by publication date. This is annoying but I did not feel like going all the way through my read books individually finding each date lol.

2016 – Love and Gelato by Jenna Evans Welch: I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. I am looking forward to reading the other two in the series.
2017 – Pancakes and Corpses by Agatha Frost: I enjoyed this first book but I dropped the series after the sequel due to not enjoying the characters or tropes.
2018 – The Plastic Magician by Charlie N. Holmberg: This was the final book in the Paper Magician series. While this one follows a different character, the world and magic were incredibly entertaining to read!
2019 – Echo North by Joanna Ruth Meyer: I was blown away with this book! The magical properties of the house and the whole wind thing was phenomenal! I think I remember tearing up at some parts lol. There is a second one but I think it follows a different character.
2020 – The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion (vol. 3) by Beth Brower: This is the only Emma Lion book I am allowing myself to choose for this prompt! I just love this series and am looking forward to continuing the rest!

2021 – The Last Bookshop in London by Madeline Martin: I believe this was the first historical fiction WWII novel I have read. It truly opened my eyes to this whole genre and I will be forever greatful!
2022 – Keeper of Enchanted Rooms by Charlie N. Holmberg: A second from Charlie on this list. I loved the humor and magic system in this series. I am currently listening to the sequel, and plan on reading the whole series’ audiobooks.
2023 – Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross: Once again, I was surprised with how much I enjoyed this book along with the sequel. I ended up giving both of them five stars. The audiobook versions were top notch in my opinion!
2024 – Protecting the Mountain Man’s Treasure by Misty M. Beller: This is the third book in this series and honestly my favorite in the series. I just found the characters and plot so much more exciting than the others.
2025 – Drawn Together by Juliana Smith: This contemporary romance was so sweet and realistic. It was honestly such a sweet story with a hilarious meeting between the two love interests.
