Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I Added to My Goodreads Shelf in 2021 But Didn't Get To Read

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

I love Top Ten Tuesday. It has always been one of my favorite memes. I haven't participated yet this year, but I want to participate as much as I can despite my increased work responsibilities. 

This week's topic is supposed to be 2021 Releases I Was Excited to Read But Didn’t Get To, but since I rarely read books in the year they release, I decided to take this in a slightly different direction. Today, I will share my...

Top Ten Books I Added to My Goodreads Shelf in 2021 But Didn't Get To Read

What do you think of my list? Have you read any of these books? Which one would you recommend I read first?

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday - Nov 22

Welcome to It's Monday! What Are You Reading? and Mailbox Monday.

 

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week. It's a great post to organize yourself. It's an opportunity to visit and comment, and er... add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye's Blog and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date.

Welcome to the Monday before Thanksgiving. I'm even more excited this year since I am not cooking. Don't get me wrong, I love to cook. I just don't like having to clean the house to get ready for company. 

San Diego was amazing...much warmer than it is in Massachusetts. In addition to the conference, we attended a special event at Petco Park where the Padres play and spent a day at the San Diego Zoo and Coronado. It took me a few days for my internal clock to reset to Eastern time, but the trip was well worth it. Here are a few photos:

The North Entrance to Coronado Hotel.

We drove a golf cart around Coronado. 

Lil' Princess loves giraffes.

First exhibit we saw after entering the zoo.

This guy needs a meme. He was so funny.

So many beautiful flowers there.

I arrived home to the Christmas cactus looking pretty, new bakeware,  and Theo in his new sweater.

In my reading world, I read a few books and reviewed four since the last time I participated.

Review is here.

Review is here.

My review of this book will appear tomorrow at The Children's and Teens' Book Connection. 

I read this next one. My review will appear at this blog on December 6.

Next up are these.

I am still trying to work in some books just for fun.

Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists. 

The conference gave me a chance to win some free books. I also bought one on diversity.

I also picked up this book from the library before I left.

That's it from me this week. Hope you share what you're reading and your new books. Wishing you and your family a blessed Thanksgiving.

Welcome back to Monday! I hope you had a great weekend. I didn't accomplish half as much as I planned, but that happens sometimes. I've been listening to some good podcasts and considering my 2022 business plan. 

The next few weeks will be hectic considering college tours, my trip to San Diego, a few closings, and many meetings. Pretty soon that will lead us into Thanksgiving and the holiday season. I know I could use some of that joy. How about you?

In my reading world, you should look for my review of this amazing book tomorrow.  

My review of this one is at my children's book blog. 

I am almost done with this one. This review will appear here on October 21. 

These are all next.

I haven't requested any other books to review, so maybe I will whack away at my TBR pile after that. 

Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came in their mailbox during the last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists. 

Nothing in my physical mailbox this week, but I grabbed these freebies, two of which I should be reviewing soon.

Have you read any of these? What genre are you reading the most of these days? 

Hope you have a fabulous week.
