Top Ten Unread Books On My Shelf

Clearly, I didn't look at today's Top Ten Tuesday topic at the Broke and the Bookish last night! Otherwise, I would have saved my TBR list. But here are some other books that still lie unread on my shelf, despite my desire to read them.

1. The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet by Reif Larsen

Been meaning to read since I attended a panel with Reif Larsen at the first Boston Book Festival.

2. Sisterhood Everlasting by Ann Brashares

Loved the Sisterhood books, still need to read this, although I'm afraid I won't love it as much.

3. The Room and the Chair by Lorraine Adams

Great story about how I attended a Bookslut Reading for this, which just happened to coincide with my visit to Berlin.

4. Sandition and Other Stories by Jane Austen

Been meaning to read these forever, and recently picked up a copy in a used bookstore.

5. King of the Murgos by David Eddings

The second book of the Malloreon, the follow-up series to the Belgariad, which I loved.

6. Demon Lord of Karanda by David Eddings

The third book of the Malloreon.

7. Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl

Recommended to me a long time ago and received from Bookmooch, but haven't read it yet.

That's all I can think of at the moment, sure there are more somewhere, probably in boxes....

I've not read any of those!
Here’s my Top Ten Tuesday post. :)
I've really got to take the time to finish The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet by Reif Larsen. I've started it twice and enjoyed it both times but the timing of actually reading it was always off for me. I've heard many wonderful reviews of the book and if the rest of it is as enjoyable as the first quarter of it has been I know I'll have a worthwhile experience finishing the book.

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel *To Be Released from New Door Books on April 10, 2018* Mindy Vogel is haunted by the future. In frequent daydreams, she toggles between her real, wheelchair-bound life and the adventurous life of her fanfic alter ego, SkyLog officer Kat Wanderer. She's haunted by all that Kat can do which she cannot---belong to an organization of comrades, walk, and fall in love---yet. Because at twenty-four, Mindy's future is very much ahead of her, wheelchair notwithstanding. Through Mindy's "SkyLog" fanzine and related emails, Seidel evokes Star Trek fandom around the turn of the millenium, but also creates a new and compelling science fictional universe, similar to what Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl  does for the Harry Potter fandom with "Simon Snow." Mindy is among the pioneers transitioning fandom from print to digital, boldly encountering like-minded individuals from the comfort of her chair behind the monito...

The Ten Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection

 Most of the books I buy these days are ebooks, or books I'm technically "renting" (I guess that's the right term?) on Kindle Unlimited. I also get a few ebooks for review, usually from LibraryThing or directly from authors. Mostly I get books from the library, but I also try to buy/preorder from my favorite authors--sometimes ebooks or sometimes an actual book if I don't have a signed copy from that author yet! Here are the most recent books I've either bought or rented (TBR would be a whole other list!). Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!
