Happy Tuesday!<\/p>\n

Top Ten Tuesday<\/a>\u00a0is a Bookish Meme hosted by\u00a0That Artsy Reader Girl<\/a>, and this week’s theme is CHARACTERS WHOSE JOB I WISH I HAD! (SPOILER ALERT: That’s Not What I Did!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Happy Tuesday! I was having the hardest time trying to figure out books\/characters that fit this week’s topic, and finally I decided to just switch it up! Recently I’ve been reading\/adding to my tbr a lot of adult titles instead of YA or Middle Grade, and today I want to list my TOP TEN GROWN UP BOOKS! <\/strong><\/p>\n

The first five are books that I’ve already read and loved, and the other five are books that are high on my tbr. Full disclosure: this is not a unique list. The books that I’ve read and loved are books that either a) I talk about all the time or b) everyone talks about all the time. What can I say? I like what I like.<\/p>\n

And now without any further ado, here’s this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!<\/p>\n

Showing that truth is stranger than fiction, Sylvain Neuvel weaves a scfi thriller reminiscent of Blake Crouch and Andy Weir, blending a fast moving, darkly satirical look at 1940s rocketry with an exploration of the amorality of progress and the nature of violence in A History of What Comes Next.
\nAlways run, never fight. Preserve the knowledge. Survive at all costs. Take them to the stars.
\nOver 99 identical generations, Mia\u2019s family has shaped human history to push them to the stars, making brutal, wrenching choices and sacrificing countless lives. Her turn comes at the dawn of the age of rocketry. Her mission: to lure Wernher Von Braun away from the Nazi party and into the American rocket program, and secure the future of the space race.
\nBut Mia\u2019s family is not the only group pushing the levers of history: an even more ruthless enemy lurks behind the scenes.
\nA darkly satirical first contact thriller, as seen through the eyes of the women who make progress possible and the men who are determined to stop them...<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
