Top Ten Books on My Fall TBR List

Top Ten Tuesdays are over at the Broke and the Bookish!

I've been bad lately and acquired all kinds of books in a variety of manners (some at DragonCon, which I attended this weekend and plan to write more about over the next week)!

HOWEVER, as I am moving to Chicago in just over a week now (!), I think I'll focus first on library books.

1. Committed by Elizabeth Gilbert (this is sort of cheating, I already started this.)

2. A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson

3. The Last Unicorn Hunt by Bruce Covey

4. Demon Lord of Karanda by David Eddings

5. This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz

Coming out this month! I'm excited to learn more about Yunior and to read more of Diaz's unique style.

6. Insurgent by Veronica Roth

Yes, I know this was also on my spring list, but now I have it, so I'm really going to read it!

7. North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell

8. Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

This may also have been on my spring list, but now I own it!

9. The Art Forger by B.A. Shapiro

Received for review from Algonquin Books.

10. The Second Empress by Michelle Moran

Because I'm on a great run for historical fiction this year, and I'd love to learn more about Napoleon's second wife.

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...

Books with Single-Word Titles

Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 6. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 7. Stoned by Aja Raden (has a subtitle) 8. Educated by Tara Westover 9. Fledgling by Octavia Butler 10. Kindred by Octavia Butler

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!
