E (ewillse) | 22 comments The Books You Don't Own challenge is perfect for me and my TBR pile, which seems to grow three sizes every time I look at it.

I said I wasn't going to make a list to get things started... but I'm going to make a list!

Here are the books I've currently got checked out of the library
The Poet X
Spineless: The Science of Jellyfish and the Art of Growing a Backbone
This Is Kind of an Epic Love Story
Food on the Page: Cookbooks and American Culture
Love Is a Mix Tape
Odd One Out
The Language of Food: A Linguist Reads the Menu

So we'll start there, and see what else happens!

12. The Art of the Con: The Most Notorious Fakes, Frauds, and Forgeries in the Art World by Anthony Amore. Meh, honestly. (library e-book)
13. Odd One Out by Nic Stone. (library book) Really well done story about friendship and family and romance.
14. Cast No Shadow by Nick Tapalansky (library book) (graphic novel) Endearing ghost story
15. The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace. (library book) Some of the poems really stood out. Not sure I can say I loved it, as some of them were brutal.
16. Spineless: The Science of Jellyfish and the Art of Growing a Backbone by Juli Berwald. (library book) Fascinating, and I appreciated touches of whimsy.
17. Dragons in a Bag by Zetta Elliott. (library book) Really liked the premise, but it ended too fast on a cliffhanger.
18. Unicorn Theater by Dana Simpson. (library book) I love this graphic novel series

20. Finding Langston by Lesa Cline (library)
21. Awkward by Svetlana Chmakova (library)
22. On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden (library)
23. 1919 The Year That Changed America by Martin W. Sandler. (library) picked up off library shelves at random, and it was fascinating! I learned about the Great Molasses Flood.
24. On the Come Up by Angie Thomas (library) A hard read, but an important one.
Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy: A Graphic Novel: A Modern Retelling of Little Women by Rey Terciero (library). Clever update, and I loved the art.

Oh, wow- I'm up the mountain! I'm going to jump to another mountain- I may go for 48 next!

E (ewillse) | 22 comments Oh good grief! I was just feeling pleased with myself for getting my TBR under some semblance of control on Goodreads, as in down to 200... and now I'm starting to see the "Books We're Looking Forward to in 2019" lists!
Full of books I simply must add to my Mt. TBR pile.
I see many many more library books in my future.
