I Can't Wait For... THE LOST VILLAGE!

Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Wishful Endings, to spotlight and discuss the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally they're books that have yet to be released.

This book sounds kind of disturbing but also like something I'd really like. I guess we'll see next week if I'm right...

Blurb:

The Blair Witch Project meets Midsommar in this brilliantly disturbing thriller from Camilla Sten, an electrifying new voice in suspense.

Documentary filmmaker Alice Lindstedt has been obsessed with the vanishing residents of the old mining town, dubbed “The Lost Village,” since she was a little girl. In 1959, her grandmother’s entire family disappeared in this mysterious tragedy, and ever since, the unanswered questions surrounding the only two people who were left—a woman stoned to death in the town center and an abandoned newborn—have plagued her. She’s gathered a small crew of friends in the remote village to make a film about what really happened.

But there will be no turning back.

Not long after they’ve set up camp, mysterious things begin to happen. Equipment is destroyed. People go missing. As doubt breeds fear and their very minds begin to crack, one thing becomes startlingly clear to Alice:

They are not alone.

They’re looking for the truth…
But what if it finds them first?

Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Books On My Spring 2021 TBR List

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish and currently hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Books On My Spring TBR

This week’s TTT is another seasonal TBR, this one for Spring 2021. I'm still not making too strict of TBR lists because I've largely been mood reading lately but here are a few that I'm looking forward to, pushing to the top of my TBR, and a few ARCs I hope to get out of the way. 

1. The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse

I got this book a few weeks ago and although it looks like more of a winter read I definitely want to read it yet this month if I'm able to. 

2. Cool for the Summer by Dahlia Adler (ARC)

I picked up the eARC for this a few weeks ago on Netgalley and kind of started it after The Dead and The Dark but my urgent need to read From Blood and Ash *right that minute* made me set it down. I'm looking forward to getting back into it. 

3. Trouble Girls by Julia Lynn Rubin (ARC)

This was another eARC I picked up at the same time as The Dead and The Dark and Cool for the Summer  and it sounds really good. 

4. What She Found in the Woods by Josephine Angelini

I've wanted to read this one since I first read about it in the publisher's newsletter and I finally found it in my library system's Hoopla. I'm probably going to read it in April (I used up all of my March borrows).

5. The House Guest by Mark Edwards

I won an ebook copy of The House Guest last year through Goodreads but it's been sitting on my kindle ever since. I think it's time I finally read it, don't you?

6. Bloodine by Jess Lourey

I'm still in Thriller reading mood and this one sounds really good. It also helps that it's on my kindle and helps my goal of actually reading up some of the books I keep putting on my kindle then never reading because I still prefer print books. 

7. Amelia Unabridged by Ashley Schumacher

I've heard really good things about Amelia Unabridged and since its one of the most recent books I've gotten (that I haven't read yet) I definitely want to get to it this spring.

8. The Lost Village by Camilla Sten

This book sounds slightly disturbing and I wasn't sure at first if I wanted to put it on my TBR but something is nagging at me that I might really like it. 

9. A Thousand Beginnings and Endings edited by Ellen Oh

I've seen this book on bookstagram and I've always loved the cover but I just recently took a look at what it's about on Goodreads and added it to my library to-borrow list. 

10. The Duke and I (Bridgerton #1) by Julia Quinn

 
Yes, I've seen the Netflix show. I'm even considering rewatching it. And I want to read the book... but I'm kind of nervous to. These type of books are so removed from my comfort zone that I'm afraid I'm going to think the book is really cheesy and hate it.

What books do you want to read this spring? Have you read any of my picks? What did you think of them?
