Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week, we’re revealing our fall to-be-read lists! Here are the next ten books that are up for me on my schedule (as always, there will be book club books that get added into the lineup).
Ready Player One: There was the hype. Then there was the backlash. So I’m going into this expecting something more enjoyable than not, but not anything extraordinary.
The Things They Carried: I’ve read a lot of books rooted in World War II, but I haven’t actually read much literature based on the Vietnam War and this is a classic.
Flip: I think I found this on a list of underrated YA novels, and then found it on sale for the Kindle.
The Library Book: I am really excited for Susan Orlean’s look at a historic library fire, and libraries in general!
Prep: I’ve never read Curtis Sittenfeld before, and I have a soft spot for coming-of-age stories, so this seems like a good place to start.
We Are Not Ourselves: This book got a bunch of praise a few years back, and a family drama does tend to appeal to me.
Detroit: An American Autopsy: The rise and fall and rebirth of Detroit is in my blood (my mom is a native Detroiter and I actually lived there for the first couple years of my life) so I’m always interested in reading about the city.
Bringing Down The House: They made this into a movie, which I never saw, but the real life tale of a bunch of nerds fleecing Vegas sounds entertaining!
Seduction: Karina Longworth’s podcast is one of my very favorites so I am really looking forward to reading her book about Howard Hughes’ Hollywood story.
In Defense Of Food: Michael Pollan has some bad takes, but I’ve always been interested in reading a book of his to get more of a sense of his work.
