I have two bookshelves of books that I want to read. Today I pulled several off the shelf to a make a book spine poem.
This Tender Land
South of Broad
The Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest
Abide with Me
The Pull of the Stars
Life After Life
Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow
Books organized by order of preference to read:
Young Adult & Middle Grade
1. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
(Middle grade, liked The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry, borrowed from a friend)
2. The Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest by Aubrey Hartman
(Middle grade, loved The Lion of Lark-Hayes Manor, her debut novel)
Historical Fiction
3. The Pull of the Stars by Emma Donoghue
(1918 Great Flu sweeps Ireland,
my grandmother's twin died in this epidemic in the U.S.)
Favorite Authors
4. South of Broad by Pat Conroy
(loved Beach Music)
5. Abide with Me by Elizabeth Strout
(loved Olive Kitteridge)
Intrigued by Book
6. Life After Life by Jill McCorkle
(found in a Little Free Library)
Book Club Pick
7. This Tender Land by William Kent Krueger
(for Nov. 2025, liked The River We Remember)
FYI: The only book I purchased in the above list was The Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest. I feel a responsibility to support new authors. I love middle grade. My son knew Aubrey in college. With the exception of the one borrowed book, the rest were acquired at library book sales or Little Free Libraries.
I like that in addition to the book spine poem you made a list of preference. Since I too loved Olive Kitteridge I am now curious to read Abide with Me.
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of these, but I think I will put a few on my TBR list.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out nice. I have yet to do one of these. I may need to play in reading room tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the list...just what I need...more books for my TBR pile! LOL. I am interested in Abide With Me and The Pull of the Stars.
ReplyDeleteGreat list! I loved the category, "Intriqued By." I have some of those in my stack too.
