This week’s topic is books on our summer TBR—an easy one, but also one that reminds us just how far behind we are on our reading goals! Thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl for another great Top Ten Tuesday!
Top Ten Tuesday: Unpopular Bookish Opinions
For better or worse, we both have plenty of those! Thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl for another great Top Ten Tuesday!
Review: The Stranger in the Woods
“I think that most of us feel like something is missing from our lives. And I wondered then if Knight's journey was to seek it. But life isn't about searching endlessly to find what's missing. It's about learning to live with the missing parts.” ~ Michael Finkel
Top Ten Tuesday: Books From My Favorite Genre
This one was a bit tricky to decide because we each have our own favorite genres. However, we settled on fantasy.

We’ve had a crazy month, but somehow we both managed to read quite a bit! Hopefully we can keep the momentum going as we dive into our summer reading lists.

“I'm right there with you, darlin'. Unless you step on a landmine, in which case I'm way back in the Operations Room.” - Eoin Colfer
Review: The Parade
“This man was a vortex—all rationality was devoured within him,” Dave Eggers.
Top Ten Tuesday: Books that we refuse to let anyone touch
This was a tough one for us. When we were younger, we used to worry about the condition of our books and about people cracking the spines of our paperbacks. With time, though, we’ve stopped caring so much about that and we’ve become more concerned with just getting our friends and family to read the books, in whichever condition they get returned to us in.
Review: Record of a Spaceborn Few
“Our species doesn’t operate by reality. It operates by stories. Cities are a story. Money is a story. Space was a story, once. A king tells us a story about who we are and why we’re great, and that story is enough to make us go kill people who tell a different story. Or maybe the people kill the king because they don’t like his story and have begun to tell themselves a different one.” ~ Becky Chambers, Record of a Spaceborn Few
