Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish Top Ten Tuesdays give me a chance to order some lists out of the chaos of my head. Yay for book lists!! This week is Books that Santa should Leave Beneath my Tree




Attachments by Rainbow Rowell: It would have been Fangirl, but I opened a present from a friend a few days ago, and she had gotten me Fangirl (woohoo!!!) so I changed to Attachments because I also really want to read that.

The Selection by Kiera Cass : I don't know how this managed to slide by my notice earlier this year, but I happened to have a customer ask about it the other day, and I've been a little obsessed with it since. It looks so delightfully good and girly.

Death, Dickinson, and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia by Jenny Torres Sanchez : I can't remember exactly how I stumbled onto this title, but it sounds so good. I'm really excited.

The False Prince by Jennifer A. Nielsen : This is another one that I had a customer ask me about, and it sounds fabulous. I am so very excited to read it. It sounds like a fantastic series.

The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness :  One of the people I follow on Tumblr said this was her favorite book. It sounds super fantastic, so I'm excited to read it eventually.

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline :  I realize I'm like a year behind on this one, but I love books with virtual reality worlds, so this sounds right up by alley.

Shadows by Robin McKinley : I love McKinley's Sunshine, and this one sounds just as delightful. I'd be psyched to find this under the tree.

Zen Shorts by Jon J Muth : I stumbled on this Caldecott winner when I was doing my Amazon loops the other day and it looks so beautiful. I do love picture books, and anything that I could possibly use in a future classroom is wonderful. 

What do you guys want for Christmas? Any of these books on your list?

More Diversity in Your Book Diet

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely people over at The Broke and the Bookish . Today's topic is Top Ten Books for People Who Like X, and I'm going to go with... Top Ten Books for People Who Like Diversity Thanks to the efforts of groups like We Need Diverse Books, diversity is having a resurgence in young adult and children's books. For the last couple years, I have been trying to read more books with diverse characters or by diverse authors. (Diverse in this respect includes race, sexuality, gender, and disability). I haven't endeavored to challenge myself to only read a certain type of book i.e. only those by women of color or anything that isn't by a white heterosexual male, but I try to be extra aware of the characters and ask myself if they actually are white (sometimes the text doesn't say it, sometimes people just assume it!) and if being white is necessary for the character or not.  But here are my top t...

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
