Last Ten Books to Come Into My Possession

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Every Tuesday they post a new Top Ten list prompt. This week’s list is the Last Ten Books That Came Into My Possession (bought, library, review copies, etc…).

I admit I may be a book-a-holic. I pick up books at thrift shops, used bookstores, new bookstores, and anywhere else that sells them. I also request galleys frequently enough that I receive a few a week. Then there are the ebooks, free, discounted, you name it. When all it takes is a few clicks to add a book to my collection the temptation is just too great. 🙂 With that said, I will do my best to remember which books were actually the last 10 that I acquired.

Patriotic Reads for the Long 4th of July Weekend

Although I’m happy to read almost anything at almost anytime, I do sometimes like to tailor my reading to the season. Hercule Poirot’s Christmas at Christmas time, Halowe’en Party in the fall (sense a trend here?), and so on. With the 4th of July just around the corner, and the extra day of free reading time that will give me, I thought it would be fun to read a story that occurs on the 4th of July, or maybe a nice political thriller. If you’d like to do the same, here are a few suggestions…
