It's Tuesday and time for the first Top Ten Tuesday of the year, courtesy of That Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week was most anticipated books releasing in the first half of 2022, and I decided narrowing it down to diverse books as there's so many fun and interesting upcoming releases.


Anyway, here's my ten diverse picks.

I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible.
