Today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic at That Artsy Reader Girl<\/a> concerns cover redesigns, which mostly doesn’t interest me, unless it has to do with the Harry Potter series, in which case then I mostly just want to own them all, but will not because I do not possess Belle and the Beast’s library.<\/p>\n

So instead today I thought I’d share ten of the books I’m reading off and on again because that’s how I roll right now:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. There There<\/em> by Tommy Orange: I don’t love short story collections or connected novels, but this book has been getting rave reviews, so I’m working on it.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  2. Red, White, and Royal Blue<\/em> by Casey McQuiston: I left the First Son and His Royal Highness in the midst of enjoying their relationship, but I know things are about to get hard for them, so I’ve resisted picking it back up again because I just want to skip to the happy ending.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  3. Aurora Rising<\/em> by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: This is the book I’m reading most right now and I’ll likely finish the last section tomorrow because I’m down to three or so chapters left. Then I just have to wait for them to write another book. This pair writes my favorite alternating POV stories and I cannot believe no one has made a movie\/tv series of The Illuminae Files<\/em> yet.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  4. Daisy Jones and the Six<\/em> by Taylor Jenkins Reid: I got this audiobook out on cd, which means it’s currently living on my laptop. I have 16 hours of train rides coming in the next week, though, so there’s every possibility I could put a good dent in finishing it.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  5. Naughty on Ice<\/em> by Maia Chance: I put this aside for deadline reading and just need to get back to it. There’s probably less than two hours of reading left before it’s done.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  6. The Big Kahuna<\/em> by Janet Evanovich and Peter Evanovich: My audiobook copy will likely expire tomorrow before I finish listening to it, although I’m going to go put another dent in what remains while I wash today’s dishes. I’ve got holds on it at all three libraries I belong to, though, so hope to get another copy before too long.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  7. Girl Waits with Gun<\/em> by Amy Stewart: I only like to take books that belong to me to the pool and I recently picked this up at my local Little Free Library. I’m 50 pages in so far, which is probably about half of what I made it through when I started it four years ago.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  8. Calamity at the Continental Club<\/em> by Colleen J. Shogun: I made it two chapters into this locally set mystery this weekend, but I’m not sure I’ll make it another two. I’m giving it one more chapter before I make a final call about proceeding or not.<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  9. The Bookshop on the Shore<\/em> by Jenny Colgan: This companion novel to The Bookshop on the Corner<\/em> expired before I had a chance to finish listening to it and I want to know what happens before our characters get to their happy endings. (Unlike Red, White, and Royal Blue<\/em>, they have not yet reached a stage where everyone seems happy, so I am motivated to return to them sooner.)<\/li>\n

    <\/p>\n

  10. Early Riser<\/em> by Jasper Fforde: This is another novel that just needs me to sit down with it for ninety minutes to finish it off. Seriously, I just need to get it done.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How about you? Are you a one-book-at-a-time kind of person? Or do you have masses of books going at once strewn about your home?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
