Covers With My Favorite Color

 Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Stuck writing on my phone again, so we'll see what I can do. I'm going to post covers with color/color schemes I like--mainly shades of blue and teal with other colors mixed in. These were the only images I could upload from my phone--hopefully more later.

Blue and teal are great colors. I love how versatile blue is. It can be used in so many different ways to evoke different moods/vibes, especially on book covers.

Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

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

Reading Goals I Still Want to Accomplish in 2023

 I am well on my way or even done with some of my bookish goals for 2023  😁, while having barely completed or not even started others 😧. I would still like to complete these goals this year, so this is a good reminder to ramp up my efforts in the last quarter of 2023. Happy Top Ten Tuesday! Reading Goals I Still Want to Accomplish in 2023 Read at least 36 books-- I've done this already! I just completed 36 books at the end of September. This is way less than I've read in previous years, but I wanted to go easy on myself since I started a new job in the past year and change.  Read books I already own, library, or Kindle books.-- Yup! I've gotten very good at this--I've read a lot of library books (ex. left), a few books I owned, and the only books I've bought were Kindle deals.  Read at least two books by women in translation.-- Pretty sure I did not do this at all yet... Read at least 25% books by authors of color.-- I have read some books by authors of color this

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.

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
