Happy Spring! I've missed the last few Top Ten Tuesdays, so I'll take the opportunity to share my Spring TBR list here. Per usual, it's books I'm reading for book clubs or just what I'm interested in right now, rather than anything especially seasonal. Although, the birding book I'm reading now does feel apropos, as I hear more birdcalls outside my window, the daffodils and forsythia are blooming, and the cherry blossoms are budding. I feel like a lot of people read specific books in the Fall especially and sometimes for Winter or Summer. Does anyone out there have specific Spring reads? What are you all planning to read for Spring?
- Better Living Through Birding: Notes from a Black Man in the Natural World by Christian Cooper (Book club read)--I'm almost done, and so glad I suggested we read this one! I love the birding parts, and it's more of a memoir than I expected, but fortunately, as a fellow Marvel and Star Trek fan, Cooper has led a life that's particularly interesting to me (he created the first gay character in a Starfleet Academy comic!).
- A Study in Scarlet by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (Bok club read)--Looking forward to a Sherlock Holmes book I haven't read yet (or at least don't remember reading).
- I was Told It Would Get Easier by Abbi Waxman (Book club read)--I've enjoyed a couple of her other books--at the very least I'm sure it will be an easy read.
- Love, Lies, and Lunar New Year by Grace Tang (LibraryThing review)--A little late for Lunar New Year, but finishing this one up--I had higher hopes, but I appreciate the Lunar New Year context and year of the snake focus!
- The Housekeeper and The Professor by Yoko Ogawa--I've been meaning to read this one for years, and a local book club was reading it. I unfortunately missed the date, but I got it out of the library anyway, so I think I might still finish it.
