top ten tuesday

I think this is supposed to be recent books that I’ve added to my collection but I’ve talked about the books that I received for Christmas. I don’t buy a lot of other books. So I decided to list the last 10 books that I’ve added to my hold list at the library.

This is a memoir about grief. That isn’t the sort of thing that I would normally read but:

  1. It’s Australian
  2. It is about the death of the author’s husband, Tony Horowitz. He was also an author and I was in the middle of reading his entire backlist when he died. It was very unexpected. I was sad about it even though I only knew him because I really liked his books.
Life's short, talk fast ann hood

This is nonfiction about Gilmore Girls. I do like that show. The husband made me watch it when we first started dating. My city has a Gilmore Girls – themed coffee festival in the early winter. I went this year with a coworker and her husband won the Luke lookalike contest.

Demon's Bluff Kim Harrison

I have this one from Audible but the issue is that it has some plot points that I don’t like. I like the series but I haven’t been able to make myself listen to this one all the way through. I thought if I had the book it would go faster.

Sorcery and small magics Maiga Doocy

This book is about two rival male magic users who get cursed. They need to work together to get uncursed and romance ensues.

The World's Fair Quilt Jennifer Chiaverini

This is the 23rd book in this series. I feel like I have to keep reading at this point.

The moon gets turned to cheese. I have to read that.

I’ve skipped the last few Nnedi Okorafor books but this one sounds interesting. It is about an author who writes a story that literally starts to change the world.

Brooke Shields is not allowed to get old

This might be interesting. It is a book about what it is like to age as a woman from a woman who has been judged for the audacity of getting older in public.
