Top Ten Tuesday: Recent additions to my bookshelf

Published on January 21, 2020January 21, 2020 by Aria1 Comment

Hello and happy Tuesday! Right now where I live it is extremely rainy, which is great because I like the rain! Anyways, my first OBOB battle (Oregon battle of the books, a competition where teams battle to answer questions about 16 chosen books) is tomorrow, so I’ve been squeezing in as much reading as I can. Anyways, right now it’s time for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week’s topic is the 10 most recent additions to my bookshelf.

This is kind of hard because I have gotten a lot of books in the last few months and I don’t actually remember the order, but I’ll try, so without further ado, my most recent-ish additions to my bookshelf.

1 It Ain’t So Awful, Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas

2 The Teacher’s Funeral, by Richard Peck

3 Ordinary Girls, by Blair Thornbush

Ok. So I got all three of those over winter break. I’m sure of that.

But before that was my birthday and my bat mitzvah, and because every one I know knows I love to read, I got a lot of books. Which is definitely not a bad thing. It is definitely a very very good thing. However, I don’t know the order in which I received the books, so I’m just going to list some more books that have recently-ish made their way onto my bookshelf.

4 The Alchemist, by Paulo Coelho

5 The Wolf Wilder, by Katherine Rundell

6 Before We Were Free, by Julia Alvarez

7 Giant Pumpkin Suite, by Melanie Heusier Hill

8 The Sun is Also a Star, by Nicola Yoon

9 Everything, Everything, by Nicola Yoon

X The Book Thief, by Marcus Zusak

Ahhhh… formatting in WordPress is hard sometimes.

What are some of your recent additions to your bookshelf? Have you read any of the books I’ve mentioned? Do you also think that Nicola Yoon’s book covers are really really pretty? Chat with me in the comments below!

Happy Reading!

Happy anything and everything, you guys! WordPress sent me a notification saying that I have so far written 50 posts! That is crazy, and so exciting! Anyways, here’s my weekly reading update, WWW Wednesday which is a weekly meme hosted by Sam @ Taking On A World of Words. How it works is I answer 3 questions:

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

What are you currently reading?

I am still currently reading The Book Thief, by Marcus Zusak. The Book Thief is a really good book! I just don’t know if its good for me. Some books I cannot put down and have to finish in one day. This book isn’t really like that. It’s a very compelling story, but it just isn’t making me want to sit down for a few hours and read it.

I’m also rereading It Ain’t so Awful, Falafel, by Firoozeh Dumas. As always, this book is amazing!

What did you recently finish reading?

I know that I have recently finished reading something, but I really can’t remember what it is!

What do you think you’ll read next?

Next, I want to read Girl on a Wire, by Gwenda Bond.

What are you reading right now? Have you read the book thief? Chat with me in the comments below!

Happy Reading!

Hey readers. I’m really happy right now, because I finally figured out how to change the color of the headings and links, which means that now there is no more bright orange text!
