TTT: Books On My Winter TBR Pile


Top Ten Tuesday: 
Titles I hope to read this winter...and an update on how I did on my similar list for Fall.

1. My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin. This is my Classic Club Spin book. I need to have it finished by December 31st.

2. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. A book club selection. This one I need to have read by our meeting in February. Can you believe I haven't read this book, yet?

3-5. American Street by Ibi Zoboi; Dreamland Burning by Jennifer Latham; and Release by Patrick Ness. These are the last three books on the Bethel SD Mock Printz list that I haven't read yet. I have until Feb. 7th to finish all three.


6. Caleb's Crossing by Geraldine Brooks. This is a book club selection for March.


7. Far From the Tree by Robin Benway. This is the National Book Award winning title this year for Young People's Literature. I've heard wonderful things about it.


8. The Librarian of Auschwitz by Antonio Iture, because, um, isn't it obvious?


9-10. The Atomic Weight of Love by Elizabeth J. Church; and Sing, Unburied, Sing by Jesmyn Ward.
These are two titles I will be suggesting we read in my other book club. I've heard so much about The Atomic Weight of Love, and Sing, Unburied, Sing is the National Book Award winner for fiction. If selected I may have to read one of these titles by the end of January.


Update: How did I do on TBR list from the Fall?
