2021 Releases I Was Excited to Read But Didn't Get To

 Happy Top Ten Tuesday!

Last year, like this year, I wasn't concentrating too much on new releases. That said, there were a couple books coming out from favorite authors and other books I heard about that were published in 2021, but I will get to them in a later year. 


2021 Releases I Was Excited to Read But Didn't Get To

  1. A Psalm for the Wild-Built by Becky Chambers
  2. Gilded by Marissa Meyer
  3. The Rabbi Who Prayed With Fire by Rachel Sharona Lewis
  4. The City Beautiful by Aden Polydoros
  5. The Witch Collector by Charissa Weaks

A Psalm for the Wild-Built was amazing! There’s a sequel coming out for it this summer. I hope you like that series if or when you read it!

@Lydia Good to hear! I've loved all her other books so far.

Looks great, only five books. I was lucky they asked for publishings from last year only, otherwise my list would have been even longer.

My TTT this week.

By the way, I saw in your profile that you like wearing scarfs all year long. My sons were the opposite, wearing shorts all year long (even now, when they don't work). Our youngest was once asked in school whether he lost a bet because he wore shorts in January. And he said there were girls in his class who would be completely decently dressed even if they took of all their clothes except for their scarves. LOL
@Marianne, yes, my list would be much longer if they included all past years! I don't wear scarves ALL year long, but I'm pretty passionate about them when outside in winter weather! I admire the girls in your son's class :-)
Every time I see Becky Chambers' name I think about reading more of her books. I only read the first book in her great series, and now I see here a new (well, 2021) book.

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

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 On My Summer 2024 TBR

 I've been fairly successful with my reading goals so far this year (40 out of 42 read!), but I still have some goals to catch up on or exceed (books by authors of color and women in translation). I've also got my book club books, and I'll throw a few new and/or summery titles into the mix for inspiration. Hoping to read many of these outside, basking in beautiful weather! Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Books On My Summer 2024 TBR She's Up to No Good by Sara Goodman Confino--This is technically for a book club, although I probably won't be able to attend the meeting.  I've heard so many good things about this one, and it looks like a good summer read, so I'm planning to read it anyway. Midnight in Siberia: A Train Journey into the Heart of Russia by David Greene (Book club read)--I already have it out of the library, but have to get on this one! It sounds very interesting but nonfiction usually takes me a little longer. The Edge of Lost by Kristina McMorris (Book cl
