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 :-(

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...

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

Books Read in July 2024

 Pitch It by Evie Blum-- Kind of a weirdly suspenseful romcom but I enjoyed the perspective of a woman working in Silicon Valley,  which I don't see a lot. The business jargon was on point. The author is really talented at writing physicality too; be prepared for a lot of spicy scenes.  My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Bro di Ashton, and Jodi Meadows--I'd wanted to read this for a while (Tudor history nerd, hello!), and I just saw and loved the show on Prime and finally got the book from Kindle Unlimited.  Both are so, so good! Very tongue-in-cheek, intrusive narration, and so many riffs on Shakespeare, Tudor history, and more. Plus it's a surprise fantasy world with people who turn into animals instead of Protestants vs. Catholics--totally brilliant. Can't wait to read the rest! An Improper Situation by Sydney Jane Bailey-- On Stuff-Your-Kindle romance day, I took a chance on a lot of different books. This was the first one I tried. I really enjoyed the 19th century Sp...
