Winter 2023-2024 TBR

 Happy Top Ten Tuesday! I have an urge to list a bunch of cute wintry reads OR list the books I actually think I will read this winter. I'll go with a mixture of both. Happy Sixth Night of Hanukkah to my fellow celebrants!

Books On My Winter 2023-2024 TBR

  1. Eight Nights of Flirting by Hannah Reynolds--Ok, I'm cheating because I just finished this, but it's such an adorable Hanukkah romance with the perfect wintry cover that I couldn't not include it.
  2. Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus--An upcoming book club read for January--I hope there's a reason for all the hype!
  3. Out of the Corner by Jennifer Grey--Different book club read for January--kind of interested in this one although I don't know a lot about her.
  4. Promises Stronger Than Darkness (Unstoppable Book 3) by Charlie Jane Anders--Currently reading very slowly and the title is very appropriate for this winter.
  5. Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree--Legends & Lattes was the ultimate cozy fantasy, and I'm sure this one will be too. 
  6. Hanukkah in America: A History by Dianne Ashton--Got this out of the library and currently reading, although I have to remember where I put it?
  7. The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon--I didn't used to like mysteries but I've got more into the cozy or historical mystery aesthetic, and this one is set in 18th century Maine.

Those look like some adorable holiday-themed books! And I just recently finished Bookshops & Bonedust, and can confirm that it's a fun cozy fantasy. Happy reading and happy Hanukkah!

Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)! Here's my post this week.

I'm excited for THE FROZEN RIVER too. I love the cover and the story sounds compelling. I hope you love it and all these others.

Happy belated TTT!

Happy New Year! I appreciate the recommendation for a good Hanukkah romance (I can't say I've ever read one). I hope you enjoy Lessons in Chemistry, I loved it! I'm very much looking forward to Frozen River as I loved Code Name Helene.

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

 Most of the books I buy these days are ebooks, or books I'm technically "renting" (I guess that's the right term?) on Kindle Unlimited. I also get a few ebooks for review, usually from LibraryThing or directly from authors. Mostly I get books from the library, but I also try to buy/preorder from my favorite authors--sometimes ebooks or sometimes an actual book if I don't have a signed copy from that author yet! 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!
