My Summer TBR

Today's TTT is bookish wishlists, but I don't need any new books right now, so I'll share my summer tbr list instead, especially since I will probably be too busy to post after I start teaching my Superheroes class next week. Some of the books are on the list for the class, which I got switched to after my original class was canceled so I didn't get to pick the books. Comics and graphic novels aren't my specialty, but I'm looking forward to learning more about them.

Happy Top Ten Tuesday!

Summer TBR List

1. Herobear and the Kid: The Inheritance by Mike Kunkel--graphic novel for class

2. Nimona by Noelle Stevenson--graphic novel for class, by the creator of (Netflix's) She-Ra!

3. Yerba Buena by Nina LaCour--So excited that she has a new book out!

4. The Chancellor: The Remarkable Odyssey of Angela Merkel by Kati Marton--Book club read. I'm looking forward to learning more about Merkel!

5. Morningside Heights by Joshua Henkin--Other book club read. Hopefully this isn't too sad--I've mostly stopped reading these family drama type books on my own.

6. Meant to Be Mine by Hannah Orenstein--one of my book clubs read her matchmaking book a few years ago; this one sounds interesting and more Jewish content!

7. Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao--interesting concept reminds me of the Guild navigators in Dune and of course strong female protag is up my alley. 

8. Legends & Lattes: A Novel of High Fantasy and Low Stakes by Travis Baldree--cozy fiction about an orc barbarian, count me in.

I was just about to join a library waitlist for Legends and Lattes. It sounds so good!

Iron Widow is definitely on my TBR list - sounds intriguing but so many other books also clamouring to be read!
This is my list this week, and a link to the wishlist!

Books I Loved But Never Reviewed

 Reviewed is a strong word. I've mostly stopped doing formal book reviews except for author requests and/or when I feel like it, but I usually give some description and or opinions of books I'm reading, usually multiple times, through weekly and monthly wrap-ups. I do find that it' s more difficult to review my absolute favorite books than books I either disliked or engaged with strongly on an intellectual rather than emotional level. For example, I rarely review poetry beyond "I loved it'" or "Meh." It's much easier to explain criticism of vocabulary usage or a plot device than explain how the book felt like a snug little snow globe. So, for this Top Ten Tuesday , I'm listing books that I loved, didn't give a formal review, and (I think) didn't discuss too much.  Books I Loved But Never Reviewed A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman We Are Okay by Nina LaCour The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K.

Cozy Snowy Books and Books I Want for Hanukkah

 As usual, it's that time again to adjust the Top Ten Tuesday topic because tonight is the third night of Hanukkah. Hanukkah always starts on the 25th of Kislev but that sometimes needs some adjusting on the Gregorian calendar. Happy third night to my fellow celebrants, and happy almost-winter and/or winter holidays to everyone else! Since I also missed last week's topic, I've decided to share some cozy snowy reads--the topic was books set in snowy places but Jana added cozy and I like that as well-- to get into the wintery mood as well as some books I'd like for Hanukkah. Books Set in (Cozy) Snowy Places Love You a Latke by Amanda Elliott--This one is set during Hanukkah in Maine and NYC, so lots of cozy snow and wintry scenes in this evocative Hanukkah romance--and yes, it does involve a lot of food... The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis--Narnia is, of course, not an entirely nice place when the Pevensie children enter it, yet Mr. Tumnus, Mr. and Mrs....
