This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a perpetual topic for me and most of the book lovers I know. The literal and the proverbial TBR shelf. I have both, but today, I'll stick to the ones on my literal shelves, and I'll try to go for the bonus points if I can. Looking forward to reading yours! Chag Pesach sameach to my fellow celebrants!
- Atomic Anna by Rachel Barenbaum--Let's see--I know I bought this after my book club read her book A Bend in the Stars, which was right when this one was coming out (my book clubs usually read books a year or so after they come out since they're easier to get at the library), and I bought it at a second-hand bookstore, so I'm going to say it's been on my shelf a bit less than two years. I'm planning to read it very soon, for the same book club.
- The Girl with the Louding Voice by Abi Daré--I bought this from the second-hand bookstore for a book club, but then didn't end up attending that meeting or reading the book, but it would be a good read for my goals this year, and it's literally on my shelf. This has been on my shelf for about three years.
- The Elder Edda (Nordic mythology/epic poetry)--I'm actually reading this now, but I've been reading it for a long time, possibly years, since I tend to read it a little at a time--it's made up of various epic poems and snippets thereof. I still have the receipt and am using it for a bookmark, so I know I've had it for eight years.
I have more books on my physical TBR shelf, but none I have plans to necessarily read soon. I'll add more if I think of them!

I don’t know if it’s appropriate for non-Jewish people to say Chag Pesach sameach, but I’d like to say it to you if that is something that is allowed!
The books on your list sound good. May you enjoy them.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
Thanks @curlygeek04, and you too, if you celebrate!
