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](https://i0.wp.com/www.lindseyh.be/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/Divine-Rivals-by-Rebecca-Ross-scaled.jpg?resize=1020%2C1556&ssl=1)

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.
Thanks! Oh a solid romance is always nice too!
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!
Thanks! Hope you’ll love Addie LaRue when you pick it up (perhaps on a rainy day 😉 )
There’s nothing like losing yourself in a book on a rainy day.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
So true!
Yes, definitely agree that a rainy day book has a certain “vibe” – atmospheric is a great way to describe it!
Thanks!
The Dead Romantics would be a great rainy day read! I loved that book.
Me too, and it would indeed be perfect for a rainy day 🙂
You inspired me today Lindsey!
Yay, thanks Sophie! 🙂
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!

Haha so true, Pam! 🙂
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.
Thanks so much! I LOVED Belladonna, hope you will too!
Thank you!! I think I will love it! 🙂
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)!

So true! Rainy days are made to stay in and read, if you ask me 😉
I’d like to read The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thanks!
I hope you’ll love The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue!
Oooh, these books are definitely atmospheric! I’ve read three of them, and I have Divine Rivals and Serpents and the Wings of Night on my TBR. Great picks!
