Books On My Spring 2026 TBR

 I've got a few books to review lined up, and I'm also interested in some new releases and hoping to read something to get into the spring mood. It's been a long, dark, and cold winter and I'm reveling in the longer daylight hours. Happy Top Ten Tuesday!

Books On My Spring 2026 TBR

  1. Working the Mound by K. Iwancio--Reading this for review from the author. This is a smutty baseball romance novel with a team called the Philly Sillys, based on the Savannah Bananas but set in Philadelphia. As soon as I heard that description, I had to read it! This is the second in a series, but they're all standalone. Review coming soon!
  2. Steeped in Suspicion by Kirsten Mari--Received for review from LibraryThing. It's a cozy fantasy mystery. Enjoying the atmosphere in a small magical town replete with piskies, leprechauns, a talking cat, and a council of witches. 
  3. Stories Are Weapons: Psychological Warfare and the American Mind by Annalee Newitz--I think I'm actually in a bit of a nonfiction mood lately, and I love Annalee's podcast with Charlie Jane Anders (sadly discontinued) so maybe the book will help fill the gap.
  4. Your Silence Will Not Protect You: Essays and Poems by Audre Lorde--I enjoy a lot of Lorde's quotes so I should actually read the source material.
  5. Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser--I'm always up for a literary reimagining of a fairy tale. 
  6. Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke (Coming: April 7)--I love the premise of a tradwife influencer who actually gets sent back in time!
  7. The Radiant Dark by Alexandra Oliva (Coming: April 28)--A family corresponding with an alien intelligence--I love this concept!
  8. The Correspondent by Virginia Evans--Everyone has been talking about this one, and it sounds up my alley.
  9. The Good Good Pig by Sy Montgomery--One of my book clubs has fallen in love with Sy Montgomery's books and I am right there with them. Looking forward to this month's read.
  10. Shadows We Carry by Meryl Ain--Another book club read for next month. I've stayed away from historical fiction lately but I have a better feeling about this one.

YESTERYEAR has been popular this week! It's now on my TBR list, too. It sounds intriguing for sure.

Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

Books I Loved But Never Reviewed

 Reviewed is a strong word. I've mostly stopped doing formal book reviews except for author requests and/or when I feel like it, but I usually give some description and or opinions of books I'm reading, usually multiple times, through weekly and monthly wrap-ups. I do find that it' s more difficult to review my absolute favorite books than books I either disliked or engaged with strongly on an intellectual rather than emotional level. For example, I rarely review poetry beyond "I loved it'" or "Meh." It's much easier to explain criticism of vocabulary usage or a plot device than explain how the book felt like a snug little snow globe. So, for this Top Ten Tuesday , I'm listing books that I loved, didn't give a formal review, and (I think) didn't discuss too much.  Books I Loved But Never Reviewed A Closed and Common Orbit by Becky Chambers Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman We Are Okay by Nina LaCour The Broken Earth Trilogy by N.K.

Cozy Snowy Books and Books I Want for Hanukkah

 As usual, it's that time again to adjust the Top Ten Tuesday topic because tonight is the third night of Hanukkah. Hanukkah always starts on the 25th of Kislev but that sometimes needs some adjusting on the Gregorian calendar. Happy third night to my fellow celebrants, and happy almost-winter and/or winter holidays to everyone else! Since I also missed last week's topic, I've decided to share some cozy snowy reads--the topic was books set in snowy places but Jana added cozy and I like that as well-- to get into the wintery mood as well as some books I'd like for Hanukkah. Books Set in (Cozy) Snowy Places Love You a Latke by Amanda Elliott--This one is set during Hanukkah in Maine and NYC, so lots of cozy snow and wintry scenes in this evocative Hanukkah romance--and yes, it does involve a lot of food... The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis--Narnia is, of course, not an entirely nice place when the Pevensie children enter it, yet Mr. Tumnus, Mr. and Mrs....
