Top Ten Books On My Summer 2023 TBR

 I love these seasonal TBR lists! Even though I usually don't end up reading all of them, it sets a good mood for the reading season. Plus, I've learned to game it by including books I'm already reading, book club books, and books I already have :-) There are so many exciting books coming out this summer too, and I keep seeing books on other people's lists that I'm adding to my TBR! Case in point, I stole a couple from Jana's list. Happy Top Ten Tuesday!

Top Ten Books On My Summer 2023 TBR

  1. Marry Me by Midnight by Felicia Grossman-This was already on my TBR and happened to be on Jana's too--Gender-bent Cinderella with a Jewish protagonist set in 1830s London--how's that for ticking like 5 of my interests!
  2. Roleplaying by Cathy Yardley--Saw this on Jana's list--I love the idea of a book about an older couple that meets online!
  3. Horse by Geraldine Brooks--Book club read. Wouldn't have picked this one myself, but I've liked her other books.
  4. Last Summer at the Golden Hotel by Elyssa Friedland--Another book club read--I might already be finished but the book club hasn't met yet! Definitely a good summer vibes read.
  5. Promises Stronger Than Darkness by Charlie Jane Anders--Need to finish this trilogy; I already have it, it's just one of those, I know I'm going to love it, so waiting for the right moment.
  6. Greywaren by Maggie Stiefvater--Same as above, and I was a little afraid she was going to kill my favorite character (I may have received info that is not the case, however).
  7. To Shape a Dragon's Breath by Moniquill Blackgoose--Dragons. And a few authors I like rec'd this.
  8. The Blue, Beautiful World by Karen Lord--I loved the first two books--always happy to see new sci fi from Karen Lord!
  9. Romantic Comedy by Curtis Sittenfeld--I virtually attended an event with her and got a signed copy of the book--also waiting for a moment when I need a pick-me-up.
  10. The Secret Lives of Country Gentlemen by KJ Charles--Just got this on a Kindle deal--historical Regency marshland romance, we'll see!

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 with Single-Word Titles

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

I also get a few ebooks for review, usually from LibraryThing or directly from authors.

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!
