Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is Top Ten Recently Acquired Books, which is interesting for me because most of my books normally come from my classroom or the public library, but this week has been a little different.
My husband bought me the Book Riot YA box to try out, which was neat, but this box's books aren't really my thing, unfortunately. I was hoping for a variety of genres but they all appear to be realistic fiction while I am more of a science fiction/fantasy fan right now. Not a problem though, as they will all go to my classroom library and will be read by many students this fall :) The three books below came in the box, along with a book light and some library check out cards.
1. Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour
2. A Sense of the Infinite by Hilary T. Smith
3. Chasing Shadows by Swati Avasthi: Of all three, I think I am most likely to read this one.
From the library: I got a couple new audiobooks to try out since I finished my other one and I have a long drive by myself coming up, plus a regular print book.
4. Fablehaven by Brandon Mull: I like it so far, but the first CD is skipping a bit and the narration is slooooow. We'll see.
5. One for the Money by Janet Evanovich: I downloaded this one from the library to my phone, which is my preferred way of listening to audiobooks. I've been meaning to read the series for a while, so maybe audio is the way to go?
6. Lady Thief by A. C. Gaughen: I really liked Scarlet, but set this aside for later since it wasn't grabbing me.
From friends: My friend Christina just moved to the UK (I know!) and was rehoming some books, so she sent me two for my classroom library.
7. The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima: I plan to read this one.
8. The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma
From the bookstore and Amazon:
9. The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas: I had a coupon, I've been meaning to read it so I can try Throne of Glass again, there was one copy left...the stars aligned.
10. Lost Lake by Sarah Addison Allen: I need to read this for book club, but it is not calling to me at all!
