20240102 April Showers Rainy Day Reads

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Hi everybody and welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! Today’s topic is April Showers and I decided to highlight a few books I think are perfect rainy day reads. If I think about a rainy day read, it can be any genre (though I love fantasy the most) but with atmospheric *vibes*. They have some whimsy to them and they’re books you can just completely lose yourself in so much that the rain outside completely fades away (or just becomes a part of the *atmosphere*).

So I came up with the below 10 examples that make perfect rainy day reads for me:

Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
Belladonna by Adalyn Grace
The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent
Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo
The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston
Halfway To The Grave by Jeanine Frost
Taming Demons for Beginners by Annette Marie

Tell Me:
What’s a perfect rainy day read for you?

    I spy some really popular and hyped books on your list this week! I know lots of people loved Leigh’s and of course “The Dead Romantics” looks interesting, too. 🙂 I love a good cozy rainy day read. Mine would probably be a solid romance. story.

    Great take on the prompt! Divine Rivals, Belladonna, The Dead Romantics and Wolfsong are perfect rainy day reads. 😍 I still have to pick up Addie LaRue but can imagine it would be too!

    Yes, definitely agree that a rainy day book has a certain “vibe” – atmospheric is a great way to describe it!

    You have some wonderful-sounding books on your list this week, Lindsey. For me a good rainy day read is any book I’m reading while it’s raining. LOL!

    I think you were smart to go in this direction. I thought about it, but figured the original topic wouldn’t be hard…it was, LOL!

      It was indeed so much trickier than it sounded at first haha 🙂

    This was a brilliant take on the topic!! I totally agree with so many of these reads. I still need to read Belladonna! I have heard such great things.

    I love a good rainy/stormy setting, especially in thrillers. If it’s raining outside that just adds to the reading experience, like you said.

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
