I have a lot of brand-new Kindle books that I got for my birthday---The Collected Stories of Eudora Welty; Sweet Alchemy; Keep Going; The Gene; Eiffel's Tower; String Too Short to Be Saved; Around the World in 50 Years; Democracy Awakening; Prequel; A High Wind in Jamaica; Middlemarch; Penguin Book of Haiku; Barefoot in Paris; Farmer Boy; Little House on the Prairie; Saveur; The Ministry of the Future; Wherever You Go, There You Are; The Devil's Highway; Eat Post Like; Something Fresh; Paris Metro Tales; The Screwtape Letters.
For Christmas, I received The Poetry Pharmacy Returns, Theo of Golden, The Daily Stoic Journal, and The Spell of a Story.
My husband was most proud of finding and getting me this gift. It's an Author Clock, with a new book quote for every minute.
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.
Deb, what a great gift from your husband. And you have plenty of books to enjoy right into the New Year.
ReplyDeleteOOh nice new reads! All new to me ones too! Oh wow! That clock is sooo cool! Great find on your husband's part!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

The idea of an author’s clock is very appealing. Now you’ll know when it’s five past Hemingway or a quarter to Shakespeare.
ReplyDeleteI’ve just started rereading Little Town on the Prairie. Enjoy Farmer Boy!
ReplyDeleteSome of those Kindle books (especially the ones by Laura Ingalls Wilder) seem to me to need to be hard copies because that’s how I read them. But it’s a marvelous list and you’ll have lots of good reading to do.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy them!
Is it possible to actually gift someone an ebook, or are you using gift cards? Enjoy Little House!
ReplyDeleteNice! The Screwtape Letters are fantastic. And I also have the Eiffel Towere book, but haven't read it yet!
ReplyDeleteUsually Santa doesn't bring me books, even though that may sound surprising.
So I went with books added to my TBR

Beautiful blog
ReplyDeletePlease read my post
ReplyDeleteThat author clock looks fantastic. I have never heard of it and now I need to go look for one. What a huge selection of books!
ReplyDeleteLook at all those books! The best thing they did for the Little House series was make it available for e-readers. What a cool gift from your husband, Deb. I was just saying to Pam at Read! Bake! Create! how wonderful it is when your partner totally gets you and finds the perfect gift. Hope you enjoy your reading.

The author quote clock is cool! I loved seeing the array of books on your palette. It looks like it will be a great reading year!
ReplyDeleteThe Author Clock is so cool 😎
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing gift from your husband! You've got a lot of great reading in your future. I am especially curious about Gene.
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful gifts!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your #TTT, and wishing you a happy new year
Great collection of books and that's an excellent gift from your husband! Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteThat author clock is amazing! What a great gift!
ReplyDeleteSome outrageously good books here--Screwtape Letters! HOW was this written 80+ years ago???? As relevant as today at the Heather Cox Richardson book! I know you will enjoy reading each of these!
ReplyDeleteLots of additions, I hope they are good.
ReplyDeleteOh my I love that author clock. So many books coming in. I tried Middlemarch once but wasn't for me, I thought maybe the audio would suit me better.
ReplyDeleteAn Awesome Haul!
ReplyDeleteI love the book covers for the books listed in your post. I also have The Devil's Highway in my 'tbr' pile. But it isn't a recent acquisition.
ReplyDeleteThe clock from your husband is such a thoughtful gift. I hope you enjoy it, and all of the additions to your TBR.
ReplyDeletePam @ Read! Bake! Create!

I was very tempted to get Rod that author clock! Maybe I'll get it for his birthday. Keep me posted on how you like it.
ReplyDeleteI ordered a copy of Theo of Golden with a gift card from Barnes & Noble. I can't wait to read it!
What a great and unique gift!! And, lots of new books to enjoy! Happy reading! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLots of good reading ahead, Deb. I hope you enjoy them all. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWow, especially the clock!
