Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is The First 10 Books I Randomly Grabbed From My Shelf. I've done this relatively recently with my bookshelves so instead I'm looking at my library and using a random number generator to help. I love this doing this occasionally because it's a great way to make sure that every book on my list is still one I want to read. Here are 10 library books the fates selected for me!
1. Best Served Hot by Amanda Elliott - This sounds really fun but I've had mixed results with romcoms so I'll either enjoy it or it'll be a quick DNF.
2. Marshmallow Malice by Amanda Flower - This is the next book in a cozy mystery series I'm really enjoying so good job fates!
3. The Unquiet Grave by Sharyn McCrumb - I've really loved books by this author and I love her writing style so I'm curious about this one.
4. Loving My Actual Life: An Experiment in Relishing What's Right in Front of Me by Alexandra Kuykendall - I love what the title says so I figure I should try it.
5. The Santa Claus Man: The Rise and Fall of a Jazz Age Conman and the Invention of Christmas in New York by Alex Palmer - This has been on my TBR for ages. Maybe this is the Christmas I read it!
6. The Postmistress of Paris by Meg Waite Clayton - I really enjoyed another historical fiction by this author and this sounds like a good read.
7. The Secrets of Hartwood Hall by Kate Lumsden - I know nothing about this one but the title sounds fun.
8. The Apartment by Ana Menendez - Another one I know nothing about. I'm not sure how it landed on my library list but I'll give it a try.
9. The Lost Story of Eva Fuentes by Chanel Cleeton - I love this author and can't wait to read this one!
10. The Librarianist by Patrik deWitt - Another one I don't know anything about but it sounds interesting.
Have you read any of these? Do you ever use an element of randomness to pick your next reads?
Several books here I’d like to read. The McCrumb, de Witt, the Lumsden and the Clayton books.
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea. I go through my books on hand as well as my enormous list on Goodreads and evaluate. Sometimes I think, why did I think I wanted to read this? Hmmm
ReplyDeleteAmanda Elliott is a favorite of mine.

I'm trying to remember if I read The Unquiet Grave. I think I did, but it's been awhile. I do love McCrumb's books though. :D
ReplyDeleteAll rather unknown to me so if you read them then I can decide about them. Yes interesting thought about rom-coms, I don't love every one of them either.
ReplyDeleteThe Postmistress of Paris sounds like a book I'd like.
ReplyDeleteI'm ALMOST up-to-date in the Amish Candy Shop series. Go, me! It's a fun one. I'm glad you enjoy it, too.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
