What shall I read next?
Here's my plan for upcoming reads:
Terry Pratchett's Discworld series, starting with The Color of Magic
James Herriot's All Creatures Great and Small (I'm now reading Book 3 of 5)
Yes, And...: Daily Meditations by Richard Rohr
The World's Most Beautiful Libraries
Footnotes from the World's Greatest Bookstores
A Girl of the Limberlost and any other 1001 Children's Books I can find
North American Birds and any other bird books I can find
Gutsy Women by Hillary and Chelsea Clinton
100 Poems from the Japanese
Comfort reads, folks. Any more suggestions for me?
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. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
I really should try Pratchett one of these days.
ReplyDeleteGoodness, yes.
DeleteMy friends mother who is a bit of a twitcher, recently told me how much she loved Where Song Began: Australia's Birds and How They Changed the World by Tim Low. I’m not sure if you’ll be able to find it there though.
ReplyDeleteI added it to my books-to-look-for list.
DeleteI recommend the All Creatures Great and Small book 3 for sure!

I'm finishing that one now.
DeleteSo many different reads. I need to get "Gutsy".
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
I wish we had a few gutsy women running our state now.
DeleteYou're on to a good start. There is hope. Don't give up.
DeleteI started the Discworld series last year, and made it through 4 books before taking a break. I'll go back to it eventually, but going in order doesn't make it all that enjoyable (as most people seem to agree.) Good luck with these!
ReplyDeleteI probably won't read them all.
DeleteI liked the first two Discworld books well enough, but it was the third one when I thought it started to get really great. Of his main characters, Rincewind is my least favorite.
ReplyDeleteI would be curious to know what you thought of the Rexroth Poems From the Japanese. I've never read it, but it interests me.
Well worth reading Poems from the Japanese. Here's my Goodreads review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/3874828701
DeleteI love James Herriot's books, my dad used to read them to me when I was a kid!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2021/03/09/top-ten-tuesday-306/
I remember reading them when I was young.
DeleteI love comfort reads. My next one will be one of those! (A comfort read)
ReplyDeleteI feel like I have to do something to fight the madness.
DeleteThe beautiful libraries book sounds fun! I also need to read some Herriot. I've never read anything by him before.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I keep a Pinterest board where I pin beautiful libraries, too.
DeleteI have no suggestions and these all sound good. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Natalie.
DeleteI've glanced at that library book in the past. It's lovely!
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteI’m dipping in and out of Discworld this year, there are some excellent books in the series like my Christmas favourite Hogfather.
ReplyDeleteComfort reads. I don't read many of those. It's old but have you read The School of Essential Ingredients. I love foodie comfort books.
ReplyDeleteI'm just reading them because my governor and other state officials are insane.
DeleteThe World's Most Beautiful Libraries sounds like something we would all want to read!! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is.
DeleteOooh! I need to read some Terry Pratchett books! Great list!
ReplyDeleteHere’s my TTT!

It's snarky without being mean.
DeleteI want to read the Color of Magic, too. I love Pratchett
ReplyDeleteMy friend told me to read all these in order, so I started the first book, COM, and then she brought me #10, #19, #21, #11, and #33.
DeleteI hope you enjoy all of these. I've been wanting to read Gutsy Women, especially since it's written by two pretty gutsy women. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteI've been meaning to pick up Gutsy Women. I hope you enjoy it... and all the other.
ReplyDeleteI should read it today.
DeleteFootnotes from Bookstores sounds intriguing.
ReplyDeleteI have a box of notecards that were made from the pictures in this book.
DeleteOne of my dear friends gave me a hardcopy of the World's Most Beautiful Libraries and it's a lovely coffee table book. Would love to one day see all of those! I'm really curious about Footnotes from the Greatest Bookstores. Oh to travel again and visit any of these!
