I’m not loving this week’s Top Ten Tuesday<\/a> topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, so instead I’m going to share the 11 books I currently have out from the library:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Library Book<\/em> by Susan Orlean — The amount of time this book is taking me is not indicative of how much I’m enjoying it.<\/li>\n
  2. Woody Guthrie and the Dust Bowl Ballads<\/em> by Nick Hayes — I’ve had this graphic bio out since this summer, and it’s been living in a bag I haven’t looked in in a while. I need to finish it and get it back to the library.<\/li>\n
  3. Knitting the Fog<\/em> by Claudia Hern\u00c3\u00a1ndez — This poetry collection is in the same bag with Woody. I hope they’re having a good time.\n
  4. On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous<\/em> by Ocean Vuong — This book was everywhere earlier this year. Honestly, I have no idea what it’s about and even whether I still want to read it.<\/li>\n
  5. Wayward Son<\/em> by Rainbow Rowell — I meant to reread Carry On<\/em> first, but the sequel came in before I figured out where my copy has gotten to.<\/li>\n
  6. The Undefeated<\/em> by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson — I loved this picture book history of Black American history and have kept it out because I haven’t yet had a chance to read all the biographical reference pieces at the back.<\/li>\n
  7. Book Love<\/em> by Debbie Tung — This is a collection of bibliophilic cartoons. I like to read a handful at a time and then put it back down.<\/li>\n
  8. Autumn<\/em> by Ali Smith — This got such good reviews when it first came out, both in the U.K. and here, that I picked it up when I saw it in the library’s window display, but this is another one where I have no idea if I even want to read it. Books sometimes just like to visit my house.<\/li>\n
  9. Look Both Ways: A Tale Told in Ten Blocks<\/em> by Jason Reynolds — I am very much looking forward to reading Jason’s latest middle grade novel.<\/li>\n
  10. Kiss Number 8<\/em> by Colleen A.F. Venable — This is a coming-of-age graphic novel set in 2004 and I literally raced through the first half when I picked it up last night.<\/li>\n
  11. Bittersweet<\/em> by Susan Wittig Albert — I’ve never read of of her China Bayles series, but this one, the 23rd in the series apparently, is set at Thanksgiving, so we’ll see!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    What do you have out from the library right now?<\/p>\n
