Ten Books from My Past Seasonal TBR Lists I Still Haven't Read

 Although I've gotten a lot better at fulfilling my reading plans, due to book clubs, having a better sense of what I like to read, and sneaking in books I've already got or already started, I still usually end up with a few leftover books on my lists--though sometimes I do catch up months or even years later. Here are the books I still haven't read from some of my more recent seasonal TBR lists--I think I have read at least as many as I haven't though! Happy Top Ten Tuesday at That Artsy Reader Girl! Ten Books from My Past Seasonal TBR Lists I Still Haven't Read In the Serpent's Wake by Rachel Hartman--I am still really looking forward to this one after Tess ! Dreams Greater Than Heartbreak by Charlie Jane Anders--I feel like I have to reread Victories Greater Than Death first. The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Dare--I know I bought this one--oops.

June 2022 Wrap-Up

 Bird Summons by Leila Aboulela-Muslim, Scottish interest, magical realism, interesting but not my jam except for the bird king stories (liked the Bird King better) The Village Maid: A Fairy-Tale with Benefits by Emily Jane Buehler-received for review from LibraryThing, fun fantasy romance-- very open-door. The Other Einstein by Marie Benedict--did not know the story of Einstein's first wife or that he had more than one, very interesting, credits her with theory of relativity which might be true and she at least very likely assisted with calculations Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi--graphic novel for the class I'm teaching. Good for an elementary school reading level, although it does have some sad stuff (dead/incapacitated parents).
