Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at the Broke and the Bookish!
3. Smitten Kitchen Everyday by Deb Perelman
This one isn't out yet, but she's coming to DC, so I'm going to hear her talk!
6. Five-Carat Soul by James McBride
I love everything I've read by James McBride, so I'm excited.
7. Future Home of the Living G-d by Louise Erdrich
I'm kind of so-so about what I've read of Erdrich's in the past, but this dystopian concept intrigues me.
8. Red Clocks by Leni Zumas
It's supposed to be similar to The Handmaid's Tale, so I'm in for this.
9. Exit West by Mohsin Hamid
Hugely popular this year and representative of this era of refugees.
Fall is always the big TBR when all the big doorstop bestsellers come out...but this year, I'm doing pretty well with what I wanted to read and feeling pretty laidback about the rest. Three books out this fall are from folks I know: in real life, The Cooking Gene by Michael Twitty; in blogging life, Reading People by Modern Mrs. Darcy and Smitten Kitchen Everyday by Smitten Kitchen.
Top Ten Books on My Fall TBR List
1. The Cooking Gene by Michael W. Twitty
Been waiting to read this for at least a year, maybe more, and now I'm almost finished!
2. Reading People by Anne Bogel
Also just finished this one, which I also preordered. I wasn't sure exactly what it would be like, but it was like a group of blog posts on different personality tests, which I did find interesting. A handy guide to dip into when I want to reflect on aspects of my personality.

4. The Emerald Circus by Jane Yolen
Sounded like an interesting collection of short stories, and I'm a fan of Jane Yolen's children's book The Devil's Arithmetic from way back.

5. Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (or anything else by her)
I've read some short stories, but despite her popularity, haven't managed to read any of her books or full collections yet. Purple Hibiscus is the One Maryland, One Book for this year, and I'm planning to see her talk next week!

10. Tales of Two Americas, edited by John Freemen and Nasty Women, edited by Samhita Mukhopadhyay and Kate Harding
Two short story collections about current political divides; hoping for some grace and clarity.
