Top Ten Boxed Books

This week's Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl is "Top Ten Backlist Books I Own and Still Need to Read." A few years ago, I did a really good job of reading most of the unread books I owned, and I'd narrowed it down to a small TBR shelf, but now I have a slightly different problem: a lot of my books are still in boxes from moving!

Top Ten Six Boxed Books I Want to Read

1. Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi

This has gotten so bad, I have contemplated buying it again (or getting it out of the library). I just cannot find it!

2. Ru by Kim Thuy

I saw a couple great reviews of this one during Women In Translation (WIT) month, but I can't get ahold of it! (Pretty sure it's in the same box as the one above).

3. You Think It, I'll Say It by Curtis Sittenfeld

I came really close to buying this again, before I read an old blog post, and realized I had it...somewhere.

4. Where the Past Begins: A Writer's Memoir by Amy Tan

Ditto. Same blog post, lost in same box as all those above *sigh*.

5. Deenie by Judy Blume

One of the few Judy Blumes I still.have.not.yet.read.

6. The Talmud

I should really read this someday.

Annnd...that's all!

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!
