Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week is actually supposed to be a seasonal TBR, but I thought it made much more sense to have this one run this week and my TBR to run on Christmas Eve, so I switched them up!
Best Actress:A history of the women who have won the Best Actress Oscar is basically the most on-brand book ever for me. I LOVE this kind of thing!
No Game for Boys to Play: This book, about the concussion issues in sports, was actually written by someone that lived on my dorm floor my freshman year in college!
The Drama of Celebrity: I really enjoy celebrity gossip and have an almost embarassingly good memory for it…but why do we care about celebrities so much? This book explores that question.
The Season: I was never a debutante and nobody (including myself) ever wanted me to be, but a history of that scene is the kind of rich people thing I find fascinatingly weird.
A Woman Like Her: This is about Quandeel Baloch, a social media star in Pakistan who was murdered by her own brother in an honor killing, and sounds incredibly interesting.
The Testaments: I’ve heard some mixed reviews about this sequel to The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood, but it won the Booker so I want to read it!
The Heartbeat of Wounded Knee: I feel like I have a decent understanding of the relationship between the United States/its people up until the Indian Wars, and today, but in between I don’t know a lot and this book has gotten a lot of good buzz!
Know My Name: Chanel Miller is the woman who was raped by Brock Turner, and I’ve heard amazing things about her memoir of the experience
The Half God of Rainfall: I’m always intrigued by books written by poets, and this one is inspired by mythology, which also has me curious!
Whistling Vivaldi: I’ve never stopped being interested in psychology, so this book about stereotypes (which I’ve heard good things about!) is right up my alley.
