Some of these I’ve started and was enjoying, but either haven’t had time to finish or got distracted from them. Others I’ve had on my TBR for years and keep wanting to get to them. Some are newer to my TBR and I’m still in the early stages of excitement for them. But they’re all ones that I feel that pull to try when I look at their covers, so any of these could be up next.
What about you guys? Do you choose seasonal books this time of year? Do you take the opportunity to catch up on some of the books you meant to read earlier in the year? Have you read any of these, and if so would you recommend them?
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly link-up feature created by The Broke and the Bookish and hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Every week TTT has a different topic, and everyone who links up has to create a link of ten items that fit that topic. To see past and upcoming topics, go here.
I hope you’ll enjoy these books when you get to them!

Thank you!
I want to read Wandering Stars too. I really liked the author’s other book.
Me too! I think they’re loosely connected though, so I feel like I need to re-read There There first. Which may take a while!
WE SOLVE MURDERS is a great read. It’s one of my favorites from this year because it’s just so fun. I hope you enjoy it and all these others.
Happy TTT (on a Thursday)!

I’m very excited to get to it! Thank you!
Caste is an amazing book, and I really enjoyed Diary of a Young Naturalist. Wandering Stars and Braiding Sweetgrass are on my TBR, and I’m intrigued by the book by Sandy Toksvig.
I started Caste and was very impressed. Case of wrong time, not wrong book! I had trouble getting in to Diary of a Young Naturalist, I’m not sure why. I need to give it another try. I love Sandi Toksvig – her style just works for me!
Very interesting choices. My son has ADHD.
Me too! It’s a fascinating condition to learn about, and there’s always more to learn. My kid has it as well, in a different form than my own, so there’s also the parallel learning about where our experiences diverge as well.
We read Sipsworth for book club and discussed it earlier this month. It didn’t generate a very good discussion, which isn’t saying it is a bad book just not that deep.
I read The Wandering Stars. It is the second book after THERE THERE. If you haven’t read the first, do so before reading W.S.
Ah, interesting about Sipsworth! I’ll give it a try, but that dampens my enthusiasm just a bit! I need to re-read There There before Wandering Stars as I don’t remember it very clearly. I want to make sure I remember the important overlapping storylines and characters!
