Today’s Tuesday Thingers question:

Popular this month on LT: Do you look at this list? Do you get ideas on what to read from it?

Have you read any of the books on the list right now? Feel free to link to any reviews you’ve done as well.

Here’s the list:

1. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman

2. Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World by Vicki Myron

3. Nation by Terry Pratchett

4. Brisingr by Christopher Paolini

5. Anathem by Neal Stephenson

6. American Wife: A Novel by Curtis Sittenfeld

7. The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer

8. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel by David Wroblewski

9. Any Given Doomsday by Lori Handeland

10. Eclipse (The Twilight Saga, Book 3) by Stephenie Meyer

I have, sadly, not read any of these. However (ah, there is a bright spot to this!), I currently have The Graveyard Book and Eclipse in my TBR pile, and because of my meandering through this list, I’ve also added the following titles: Dewey, Anathem, and Any Given Doomsday.

It’s always a great day when I add more to my TBR pile.

Update: After reading this review of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society at Joy’s blog, I’ve decided to add it to my TBR afterall.

Yes, after this, I’ve added “Dewey” to my want list, too. But I think that’s the only one I’d really have any interest in. As usual, I’m a little out of sync with what’s popular.

But it’s a better day for me when I can take a book off my TBR!!

I don’t know what I would do if I didn’t have my tbr pile, but is is lacking most of these books – I’d like to read American Wife, so will head over to PBS and see if I can find it!

It wouldn’t do for me to actually beat books off with a stick, even though I do have one. If I did, my husband would probably think I had gone round the bend! LOL

The Graveyard Book was my favorite from what I’d read on the list. I’d like to move Guernsey to the top of my TBR.

That’s the fun part of post’s like this. I always find new “wants”. That is also my downfall :D

Thanks, everyone. After visiting other Tuesday Thingers’ posts and reading your review, Joanne, I’m finding I really want to read the Graveyard Book now. I’m going to be moving it up in priority. Lenore, you’re right, I also love removing a book from my TBR (and writing a review for it is a plus!). And Cathy, I can’t keep the image of beating books off with a stick out of my mind now :)
