This week’s Top Ten Tuesday<\/a> option from That Artsy Reader Girl invites us to share ten random books from our shelves. I am feeling sleepy and lazy (and eventually put the computer down and went to sleep), so instead opted to share ten of the books I have out from the three libraries I have cards at. (Many libraries have reciprocity with nearby communities, and I highly recommend this as a tactic if you spend a lot of time on holds lists.)<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Emperor of Gladness<\/em> by Ocean Vuong (I started this from one library and had to return it unfinished. It’s now overdue to a second library system, and I’m hoping to check it out from the first library again before the end of the year.)<\/li>\n
  2. The Village Library Demon-Hunting Society<\/em> by C.M. Waggoner (currently reading)<\/li>\n
  3. Mrs. Claus and the Trouble with Turkeys<\/em> by Liz Ireland (There are surprisingly few Thanksgiving reads. I’m hoping this one isn’t terrible — or, at least, that it’s good terrible. TBR)<\/li>\n
  4. The Book of Doors<\/em> by Gareth Brown (audiobook; currently listening, but parts are highly stressful)<\/li>\n
  5. How to Have a Killer Time in D.C.<\/em> by Sam Lunley (audiobook; started but haven’t gotten back to it)<\/li>\n
  6. The Nightmare before Kissmas<\/em> by Sara Raasch (finished last week — solid read for Halloween or Christmas, and the sequel has to do with Christmas and St. Patrick’s Day)<\/li>\n
  7. No Less Strange or Wonderful<\/em> by A. Kendra Greene (halfway through, but haven’t picked it up in weeks)<\/li>\n
  8. Falling like Leaves<\/em> by Misty Wilson (started)<\/li>\n
  9. Cinder House<\/em> by Freya Marske (TBR)<\/li>\n
  10. When the Tides Held the Moon<\/em> by Venessa Vida Kelley (TBR)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
