Happy Top Ten Tuesday at That Artsy Reader Girl!

Top Ten Five Most Anticipated Books Arriving in the First Half of 2020


1. The Glass Hotel by Emily St. John Mandel-Mar. 2020

I loved Station Eleven, and this one intrigues me. Also, everyone seems to have an ARC of it, and I'm so jealous!

2. The Empire of Dreams by Rae Carson-April 2020

I loved the Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy and I'm excited for another novel set in that universe!

3. We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry-Mar. 2020

A girls' field hockey team turns into witches? I need to read this.

4. The City We Became by N.K. Jemisin-Mar. 2020

Everything N.K. Jemisin writes gets better and better. Plus. I've already read the shirt story I'm pretty sure this is based on.

5. The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes by Suzanne Collins-May 2020

HUNGER GAMES. 'Nuff said.

Annnd that's it, because I want to focus on rereads and old TBRs and books I already own or can readily get at the library this year, but can't help being excited about this bunch.

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

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!
