Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly linkup of book bloggers hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! This week is another seasonal TBR. It’s officially spring as of Thursday, so let’s look at the books I’ll be reading over the next several weeks (or maybe faster, if I’m stuck at home without much else to do for any extended period of time!).
The Magical Language of Others: This is a memoir by a woman whose Korean parents, after having immigrated to America with their children, went back to South Korea and left them behind…her mother wrote her letters, and Koh went back and re-read them as an adult to try to make sense of it all. This sounds heart-wrenching and amazing.
White Teeth: I’ve somehow never read Zadie Smith before, and this story about two war buddies coming back to England and changing as the world changes sounds like a great place to start.
Pilgrim at Tinker Creek: This environmental non-fiction won a Pulitzer, so I’ll read it.
Shatter Me: I don’t read much YA, but this book is supposed to be fun and I could use some brain candy right now.
The Perfect Son: I’m a sucker for a family saga and this one has very solid reviews.
A Beginning at the End: I would actually probably skip this pandemic-based post-apocalyptic story right now but I feel bad enough about being late to get to this review copy!
Cutting for Stone: Another family saga! This one has been recommended by people I trust so I’m going to try it out.
Bird Box: I’ve had this hanging out on my Kindle forever, long before the Netflix movie came out, and I’m finally going to get around to reading it!
The Son: I’d heard good things about Jo Nesbo’s work and found this one secondhand before I found the first of his Harry Hole series so figured I might as well start here.
The Weight of Silence: This was a book that looked good during a browse of what was on sale for the Kindle, so we’ll see how it plays out (suspense isn’t always my fave).
