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: Most Recent Additions to My Book Collection

Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Most Recent Adds To My TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week's subject is technically our ten most recent reads, but I tell you about those in my monthly updates anyways. So I thought I'd talk about the ten most recent additions to my to-be-read list instead!

Assembly: This book, about a Black British woman who reconsiders her life and choices as she prepares to go to a fancy party at her fancy boyfriend's fancy house, sounds thoughtful and interesting!

The Nakano Thrift Shop: I will read nearly anything published by Europa Editions, and I do like to try out things that are meant to be charming rather than total downers every once in a while. 

Never Saw Me Coming: I am not big into thrillers, but this one seems like something I'll like...it's about a group of sociopathic students enrolled in a study at their college when one of their own is murdered, and they have to decide how much they can trust each other.

Everybody Behaves Badly: Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises is one of my least favorite books I've ever read, but I am intrigued by the real-life story that inspired it. 

Black Water Sister: This is part of my efforts to read more books set outside of the US/Europe, and is a fantasy novel set in Malaysia about a young woman possessed by a vengeful spirit.

Things We Didn't Talk About When I Was A Girl: This one is going to be heavy...it's a memoir a woman who was raped by a close friend as a teenager, and what that meant for her and her life and their continued friendship, and her meeting with him to talk about it years later. It's supposed to be very very good. 

Bad Girls Never Say Die: This is apparently inspired by The Outsiders, which is one of those classics I've never actually read, but anything that gets really into the friendships of teenage girls is something I want to try!

The Robber Barons: I have turned into a full History Dad in some ways, so this look at the era of the super rich "robber barons" sounds fascinating. 

The Final Girl Support Group: I really enjoyed Hendrix's previous book and think this looks just as entertaining!

The Fabric of Civilization: I've always had an interest in these sorts of "a look at history through the viewpoint of [thing]", and this one is about textiles and I am very curious.
