Top Ten Books on My Fall 2018 TBR

Happy Top Ten Tuesday Over at That Artsy Reader Girl!

 Top Ten Books On My Fall TBR

 I've already read a couple books on my fall TBR, but there are always more books to read!

 1. I'd Rather Be Reading by Anne Bogel
Already finished! Highly recommend to all readers!

 2. P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han
I love Lara Jean!

3. Sorcerer to the Crown by Zen Cho

  This article on complicated magical families re-whet my appetite, and reminded me why it's been on my TBR list: "early reviews...made copious comparisons to both Austen's work and Clarke's masterpiece."

4. Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik

Not only do I love fairy tale remixes generally, but "Rumpelstiltskin"was a recurring bedtime tale growing up at my house!

5. The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy, 2018 ed. N.K. Jemisin

Edited by N.K. Jemisin. Need I say more?

6. Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

I bought and started it over the summer, but it's lost in one of the boxes from moving...extra incentive to unpack.

7. If All the Seas Were Ink by Ilana Kurshan

Memoir plus Talmud, plus won the 2018 Sami Rohr prize for Jewish literature.

8. A Place for Us by Fatima Farheen Mirza

Started reading in the bookstore and got engrossed; I love stories about complicated families and especially sibling relationships.

9. Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons

I'm intrigued from a recent article on Unique Narrative Devices in Fantasy. Give me all the footnotes and books-within-books!

10. Born a Crime by Trevor Noah

Read an excerpt from Random House's Season of Stories and really need to read the rest!

Born a Crime is excellent. You've got a few on your list I really want to read, like Spinning Silver - but it will be a while before I get it from the library. Enjoy your fall reading!

Hope you love Children of Blood and Bone! And definitely a motivation to unpack, haha. It's the other way around for me - I'm having to pack right now and I'm simply refusing packing up books I haven't read yet. Just in case I feel the need to pick them up before the move [which we don't even know the exact date of anyway!]

Happy reading! :D [And unpacking, haha.]

Here's my TTT should you be interested. :)

@curlygeek04 Thanks! I'm really looking forward to Born a Crime!

@Kathy I'm sure I will love Children of Blood and Bone when I find it! I completely understand your hesitancy--I did the same thing. But I did end up having to pack way too much at the end :-(

Books with Single-Word Titles

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl! Books with Single-Word Titles These are all my favorite books that I could think of with one-word titles. A lot of fantasy, a few nonfiction (minus subtitles) and Kindred , whether you consider it scifi or historical fiction. Also two portmanteaus using the word "bitter." I suppose it's a word that lends itself to amelioration. 1. Sweetbitter by Stephanie Danler 2. Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore 3. Fire by Kristin Cashore 4. Heartless by Marissa Meyer 5. 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

Feliz Ano Nuevo!

Speaking of cultures and society, I leave for Spain on January 9. Instead of continuing as a book blog with a specific goal for number of books to read in a year, Space Station Mir will become a chronicle for my adventures in Spain. Expect a post for each new place that I visit, with pictures! I also plan to continue reviewing books, however I will not make a set goal for number of books to read this year. I do pledge myself to read at least one book in Spanish that was not assigned for a class. In terms of my goals for 2009, I was not diligent enough in keeping track of them. Looking back, I've fulfilled some of them and not others. The greatest trend in my reading this year, which marks a huge deviation for me, is that I've read more non-fiction than I think I've read any other year in my life. I've finally developed the ability to sustain interest in non-fiction other than biographies. For a while, biographies were the only non-fiction I ever read, with the exception

Most Recent Books I Did Not Finish

 I feel like I've been DNFing a fair amount lately, mostly with review books. I feel obligated to read review books longer than I would if they were books I just picked up on my own. That said, I have a caveat in my Book Review Policy  that if I feel I am not the right audience for the book, I won't post a review. I try to avoid that by only picking books I genuinely think I will enjoy, but of course I can't always predict that before I read. Also, while book clubs have been a great way to get exposed to books I wouldn't normally read, tastes will differ and every once in a while, I find a book I'm just not willing to finish. I also want to say no shade to the authors or anyone who enjoyed these books--they just weren't for me. Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Most Recent Books I Did Not Finish 1. Caribbean Competitors by Poppy Minnix--LibraryThing review--This one sounded great and has a beautiful cover, but while the island setting was compelling, I just couldn't ge
