TGIF, hosted by GReads, question of the week:
How big is your pile? Which book keeps getting pushed down the stack, but you keep meaning to read it?
I have the ability on my library catolog to create personal and public resource lists. When I find a book I want to read, if it is in my library, I add it to my personal "I want to read list." I currently have 45 books on that list that I really want to read someday but most of them keep getting shoved off to the side in favor of the "popular" books of the day. Eight of these books have been on the virtual "pile" for a long time:
- The Radioactive Boy Scout: the frightening true story of the whiz kid and his homemade nuclear reactor by Ken Silverstein*
- A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers*
- The Burn Journal by Brent Runyon*
- A Long Long Way by Sebastian Barry
- Dreamland by Sarah Dessen
- North of Beautiful by Justina Chen Headley
- The Earth, My Butt, and Other Big Round Things by Carolyn Mackler
- The Queen of Attolia by Megan Whelan Turner
Quite a diverse list, if I do say so myself. *Books are nonfiction. I wonder if there is a correlation between that and continually getting shoved to the bottom of the pile? Hmmm.....
