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 BOOKS I WOULD GIVE A DIFFERENT TITLE TO! (SPOILER ALERT: That’s not what I did!)<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I’m back with another round of not<\/strong> following this week’s theme! Not because I don’t like the theme (I actually think it’s fantastic!), but because it requires more time to put together than I have. So between that and all the BEAUTIFUL<\/strong> cover reveals that have been happening recently, this week I’m sharing my TOP TEN MOST RECENT ADDITIONS TO MY TBR<\/strong>! And now without any further ado, here’s this week’s Top Ten Tuesday!<\/p>\n

Aristotle & Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe meets Roswell by way of Laurie Halse Anderson in this astonishing, genre-bending novel about a Mexican American teen who discovers profound connections between immigration, folklore, and alien life.<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been three years since ICE raids and phone calls from Mexico and an ill-fated walk across the Sonoran. Three years since Sia Martinez\u2019s mom disappeared. Sia wants to move on, but it\u2019s hard in her tiny Arizona town where people refer to her mom\u2019s deportation as \u201can unfortunate incident.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sia knows that her mom must be dead, but every new moon Sia drives into the desert and lights San Anthony and la Guadalupe candles to guide her mom home.<\/p>\n

Then one night, under a million stars, Sia\u2019s life and the world as we know it cracks wide open. Because a blue-lit spacecraft crashes in front of Sia\u2019s car\u2026and it\u2019s carrying her mom, who\u2019s very much alive.<\/p>\n

As Sia races to save her mom from armed-quite-possibly-alien soldiers, she uncovers secrets as profound as they are dangerous in this stunning and inventive exploration of first love, family, immigration, and our vast, limitless universe.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\t\t
