Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl! I've decided to write on a theme of thankfulness for a number of books for different reasons. Happy Thanksgiving to everybody celebrating this week, and have a good week to everybody else!
- Tracks by Louise Erdrich
At first, I wanted to make a list of Native American authors, but I don't think I've read any but Louise Erdrich. I'm grateful to have read her, and to have the chance to read more of her books, and more books by different Native American authors.
2. The Nest by Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney
This is a surprisingly heartwarming book about a family that learns to be grateful for what they have.
3. Black Widow: A Sad-Funny Journey Through Grief for People Who Usually Avoid Books with Words Like 'Journey' in the Title by Leslie Gray Streeter
I'm grateful for this book and for the author visiting our book club (virtually).
4. My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry by Fredrik Backman
Another one I'm grateful for, and the characters learn to be grateful for one another.
5. The Imperfects by Amy Meyerson
So grateful to have won this in an Instagram contest this year!
6. The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junuada Petrus
Grateful to my husband for gifting me this for my birthday!
7. So You Want to Talk About Race by Ijeoma Oluo
Grateful to the author for taking the time to write, and to Mahogany Books for sending under that onslaught they were under!
8. Your Perfect Year by Charlotte Lucas
Grateful to the author and translator, and Amazon for offering it for free on Kindle in honor of World Book Day,
9. Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
For being there at the right time.
10. Middlemarch by George Eliot
For getting me through, and being such a delight.

My post.
I've been thinking about more Frederik Bachman since I enjoyed Anxious People so much. I will look for My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry.
