This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic from The Broke and the Bookish asks what’s on my spring to be read list. Some of these are in my possession, some are on my holds list, a couple fall into the fantasy category for what I hope will once again be the Once Upon a Time reading challenge, and a few are still to be published:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Hate U Give<\/em>, by Angie Thomas<\/strong>, just came out last week and is one of this spring’s buzziest books.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Susan Dennard’s Truthwitch<\/em><\/strong>, which I bought last year at an author event. The second book in the series has since come out and someone from my online book group was telling me how much she’d enjoyed both.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. Becky Albertalli’s The Upside of Unrequited<\/em><\/strong> comes out next month. I, along with everyone else, absolutely loved her debut, and I’ve heard good early buzz from advance readers.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. Kids of Appetite<\/em>, by David Arnold<\/strong>, has a recommendation from fellow book-lover Anne to bump it up my list. Also, my parents really liked his first book, Mosquitoland<\/em>.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. The Great Spring: Writing, Zen, and This Zig Zag Life<\/em>, by Natalie Goldberg<\/strong>. Decades ago, my writing teacher gave me Goldberg’s most famous book, Writing Down the Bones<\/em>. Recently her latest book was mentioned somewhere, and it felt like the right time to revisit her, particularly with a member sale at the bookstore last week and spring in the title of the book.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them<\/em>, by J.K. Rowling<\/strong>, is the script to the film and a birthday present from my folks. I enjoyed the script to her play, so I look forward to what I expect will be a fast read.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. Heidi Julavits’ The Folded Clock<\/em><\/strong> is a diary\/memoir\/personal essay series, and was a gift from Laura in last fall’s Book Ninja Swap<\/a>.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  8. Labyrinth Lost<\/em>, by Zoraida C\u00c3\u00b3rdova<\/strong>, is another recommendation from a book group member and was a Cybils finalist.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  9. The 13 1\/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear<\/em>, by Walter Moers<\/strong>, was a birthday gift from Rudi. Translated from the German, it looks like it may share a sensibility with some of James Thurber’s works (Goodreads suggests you’ll like it if you enjoyed Joan Aiken or Michael Ende).<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  10. The Girl from Everywhere<\/em>, by Heidi Heilig<\/strong>, was nominated for best debut novel in the Goodreads Choice awards last fall and deals with time travel and Hawaii and sailing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
