Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Top Ten Tuesday was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
I admit it!! I am a book lover and I acquire books like crazy. I have them in all formats; hardback, paperback, ebook, and audiobook. Honestly, I have know idea how many books I currently have in my 'to be read' stack... Let's just say that I have enough books for a mini library.
Below are my most recent acquisitions.
1. Biological Exuberance by Bruce Bagemihl PhD
2. Murder in the Forbidden City by Amanda Roberts
3. Toto A. J. Hackwith
4. The Bluest Eyes by Toni Morrison
5. Chained Birds by Carla Conti
6. Dark Wild Shore by Charlotte McConaghy
7. The Quiet Librarian by Allen Eskens
8. The Fear of Winter by S. C. Sterling
9. The River Knows Your Name by Kelly Mustian
10. Medusa by Nataly Gruender
Have you read any of the above books I've recently acquired?
I read The Bluest Eye back in college 30 + years ago for a Women In Literature course. Recently, I've wanted to reread it again.
I also recently finished reading and reviewing Dark Wild Shore by Charlotte McConaghy.

Ooh nice ones! These are new to me ones but I hope you enjoy them once you get to read them!

Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Thank you!
DeleteI read The Bluest Eye many, many years ago, but don't remember much about it. I do know that I liked Beloved better. I'm looking forward to Dark Wild Shore, and I think I'll go back and re-read some of Eskens before reading The Quiet Librarian.
ReplyDeleteI don't remember much about The Bluest Eye either, which is why I want to reread it. I have read both Nothing More Dangerous and The Deep Dark Descending by Eskens.
DeleteI also read The Bluest Eye many years ago for an English class, and would like to reread it someday. I've heard such good things about Wild Dark Shore -- it's on my wishlist! Hope you enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by and leaving me a comment.
DeleteI hope you enjoy reading all of these when you get the opportunity.

ReplyDeleteI've read it before and enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to the reread.
DeleteThat's an interesting - and varied - set of additions. Happy reading. I hope they all justify your adding them to your reading list.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dorothy!
DeleteThe only one I recognize is The Bluest Eye, which I also read years ago in school. Hope you enjoy all of these when you get to them!
