posted by soe 1:49 am

For this week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic, That Artsy Reader Girl invites us to share the top ten most recent additions to our personal bookish collections:

  1. Swimming Lessons by Claire Fuller: I picked up this at a Little Free Library on Saturday.
  2. Kate Murphy’s You’re Not Listening: What You’re Missing and Why It Matters: This book came as a freebie with the purchase of …
  3. The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern: I bought this on New Year’s Day, when one of our local indie bookshops was having a sale, because I loved her debut novel.
  4. A Velocity of Being: Letters to a Young Reader, edited by Maria Popova and Claudia Bedrick: Karen gave me this collection of letters for Christmas.
  5. The Prince and the Dressmaker by Jen Wang: A surprise gift from my parents for Christmas.
  6. The Goblet of Fire by J.K. Rowling: Rudi’s mom gave me the illustrated version for Christmas.
  7. Hillary McKay’s The Skylark’s War: I picked this up while doing some last minute Christmas shopping when I saw it, because I hadn’t realized it had finally been published in the U.S.
  8. Jasmine Guillory’s Royal Holiday
  9. Words in Deep Blue by Cath Crowley
  10. The Flatshare by Beth O’Leary: All three of these books came from my #TBTBSanta, Helen.

The Flatshare is so good!

I want to read The Starless Sea but I am a bit wary that it won’t live up to The Night Circus.

What a fun mixed bag of styles. Letters to a Young Reader looks like both a great gift book and a very enjoyable read.
