The Top Ten Most Recent Additions to My Bookshelf

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!

The Top Ten Most Recent Additions to My Bookshelf

1. Touched With Fire: Morris B. Abram and the Battle Against Racial and Religious Discrimination  by David E. Lowe

So excited to read this! The author is my former neighbor and good friend's dad, so I'm biased, but he gave an incredible, well-attended talk at Politics & Prose bookstore in D.C. and just won the National Jewish Book Award for Biography!

My parents made sure that I got much of my Hanukkah wishlist:

2. Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg

3. The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern

4. Nothing Fancy by Alison Roman

My parents actually found a signed copy of this at Barnes & Noble!

5. The Secret Commonwealth by Philip Pullman

My other latest additions were some thrift store finds:

6. Pretty in Plaid by Jen Lancaster

She always makes me laugh!

7. The Subtle Knife by Philip Pullman

Found this in the thrift store just in time for my reread--perfect since I already owned The Golden Compass and The Amber Spyglass. 

And a few bought with an old B&N giftcard:

8. The Near Witch by V.E. Schwab

9. To Be Taught If Fortunate by Becky Chambers

10. Several blank journals

Touched With Fire sounds like an amazing read! I'm going to try to find a copy of it as well.

I haven't heard of many of these books before but I have read Near Witch and it was really good! I haven't read a lot of V.E. Scwaabs books but I really like what I have read.
Looks like you have a lot of interesting things to read. Thanks again for stopping by!

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.

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!
