This week’s Top Ten Tuesday from That Artsy Reader Girl asks us about the Top Ten Books I’ve Added to My TBR and Forgotten Why. I’ve added more than 3,100 titles to my list of books I’d like to read since I first joined Goodreads more than a dozen years ago. Obviously they sounded interesting at the time…

  1. The Art of Travel by Alain de Botton
  2. Sororophobia: Differences Among Women in Literature and Culture by Helena Michie
  3. How to Pick a Peach by Russ Parsons
  4. Ali and Nino by Kurban Said
  5. The Secret Hour by Scott Westerfield
  6. Tallulah Falls by Christine Fletcher
  7. The September Sisters by Jillian Cantor
  8. Through Black Spruce by Joseph Boyden
  9. The Pull of the Moon by Elizabeth Berg
  10. The Invisible Mountain by Carolina De Robertis

Have you read any of these books?

I loved all the early Elizabeth Berg books, including Pull of the Moon, but I read them long, long ago, and I don’t know if they will hold up.

Tallulah Falls!! I read that in high school and it’s still one of my favorite YA novels. I’m so wildly excited to see someone else even mention it, you have no idea. Between the independent-teen angle and the animals, it was perfect for me.

I have also read The September Sisters, which I enjoyed, though I preferred Life of Glass and Searching For Sky.

P.S. 3100, WOW! That’s quite the record of books that have caught your eye. It must feel like you’re digging through a virtual attic sometimes when you browse through the early part.
