First: The first person I remember thinking of as a role model is Sandra Day O'Connor, so obviously I am down to read a biography of her. I'm so excited I got approved for an advance review copy!
Golden Hour: I know lots of people love Beatriz Williams' books, so I'm going to finally try her out with her next one!
Basque Legends: I've gotten super into folklore lately, and the Basque are a fascinating people!
Everything In Its Place: One last collection of essays from my beloved Oliver Sacks.
The History of Love: A subreddit I frequent recently had a thread on five all-time favorite books, and this one someone else listed seemed like something I'd love!
Royal Babies: The fuss over the pregnancy of Meghan Markle is just the latest in a long line of fusses made over the babies born to royalty, so I'm super interested in this examination of the topic.
Destiny Disrupted: Figuring out that the history I learned is a very selective interpretation of events has me wanting to explore different viewpoints, like this one from the Islamic world.
Into the Drowning Deep: I'm not usually into suspense/horror, but this Kindle sale pick looked too intriguing to ignore.
The End of Tsarist Russia: I've gotten heavy into Russian history lately, so I want to look at the end of the royal family and the beginning of the October Revolution and trace it from there.
Half Asleep in Frog Pajamas: The two Tom Robbins books I read in high school remain among my favorites, so when I found copies of this one (along with another) in the secondhand book store, I figured I should try reading him again!

Great list! I really need to cross Into the Drowning Deep off my TBR, too. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteDrowning Deep does look like a pageturner!
DeleteI love Beatriz Williams, can't wait for her new book!
ReplyDeleteI hope I like her as much as you do!
DeleteWow, I don't think I've heard of any of these books. I'll have to check them out! Into the Drowning Deep sure does sound good, though, even though it's not a genre I read a ton of, either. I don't blame you for picking it up in the least bit.
ReplyDeleteI like venturing outside my normal genres every once in a while...it doesn't always work out but it's nice to not get stuck in a rut (and sometimes it does work out and it's great!)
