Top Ten Tuesday - Books I HAD to Have Immediately but Still Haven’t Read

 

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 have collected so many books over the years. There are several books I had to have immediately, yet haven't read. Below is a small sampling of my unread books I just had to have asap.

1. Culpability by Bruce Holsinger

2. Eat Right 4 Your Type: The Individualized Blood Type Diet Solution by Dr. Peter J. D'Adamo

3. Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl

4. The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins

5. S. by J. J. Abrams and Doug Dorst

6. The Drunken Botanist: The Plants That Create the World's Great Drinks by Amy Stewart

7. A Sudden Light by Garth Stein

8. The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane by Lisa See

9. Somewhere Inside by Lisa Ling

10. The Dutch House by Ann Patchett

The End of Reading?

 

Well, I am an avid reading and have read 41 books this year already. Apparently, I am not part of the above demographic mentioned in the above video.

According to writer, Rose Horowitch from The Atlantic, reading has declined by 40% in the past 20 years! Scary news for sure!

Checkout Which USA Airports Contain a Little Free Library!

Last week, I made a post about discovering a 'sharing library' at the Oakland Airport. I found it very cool to see a reading library within a coffeehouse near a Southwest Airlines gate. 

Since making this post, it got me thinking about whether other airports across the nation have Little Free Libraries within them. Sure enough, there are other airports that have Little Free Libraries!

Check out the following article titled, Books Fly Off Airport Little Free Library Shelves by Sarah Nelson to discover which airports contain Little Free Libraries.

I wonder how true this statistic is? I'm not sure where the information came from, but I would be curious to know if readers of books really do live longer than non-readers..
