Top Ten Tuesday: Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week, we're talking about the latest books we've added to our possession. I am really trying to slow down my acquisition of hard copy books, so I'm including five of those along with my five most recent Kindle purchases. 


How To Read A Dress: Amazon gift cards for Christmas mean I buy myself books off my own list.

Queens of the Crusades: See above.

Reservoir 13: This book, about the impact of the disappearance of a teenage girl in a small town, compares itself to The Virgin Suicides, which means I'm curious.

Death in Spring: This was on a list somewhere of greatest Catalan works available in translation.

This Must Be The Place: I loved Hamnet so much I want to check out more of Maggie O'Farrell's work!

Win At All Costs: I remember reading some pieces in the media about how toxic and gross Nike was with its female runners and finding them super interesting so this sounds fascinating!

Gladys, Duchess of Marlborough: I love biographies of Old Timey Scandalous Women.

The Chosen and the Beautiful: This Great Gatsby retelling has gotten good reviews from people I trust! 

There Is Power In A Union: I don't know enough about American labor history and I'd like to know more. 

Never Saw Me Coming: I've been interested in this since I first saw the premise (a group of sociopaths being studied in college) even though I'm not always a thriller person.

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Gifts I Hope Santa Brings

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! I have what even I would categorize as too many books, so I'm mixing up a couple actual books here with book-related things that I would love to find under the tree.


An ornament for the tree: As new homeowners, we've officially gotten ourselves a Christmas tree for the first time! We do have some ornaments we've collected over the years, but we're definitely going to be collecting more and this one is super cute!

How To Read A Dress: I am super curious about the history of fashion and this book talks about the ways that women's dresses have changed over the past several centuries so it's right up my alley!

A personalized leather bookmark: I love a nice bookmark and can always use more.

Queens Of The Crusades: I love Alison Weir's royal histories and this is the second in a series that I'd like to continue. 

A book stamp: I want to start marking the books in my library as my own and this embossing book stamp would be perfect!

Braiding Sweetgrass: I've heard so many good things about this book, I really want to read it!

Anna Karenina book poster: I loved this book and would love to have a print of it up on the wall.

Very Important People: This book is by a former model and talks about the role that models/beautiful young women play in the international party scene and thinking critically about that kind of thing is very much my jam. 

A Wrinkle In Time t-shirt: One of my all-time favorite books!

Reaganland: Rick Perlstein's presidential histories are fantastic and gigantic and best-suited to print.
