Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Spring 2019 TBR

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Here are a few of the many books I’m hoping to read this spring. The only way I could narrow it down to ten of them was if I only chose titles that are going to be published sometime between now and the summer solstice!

1. The Tradition by Jericho Brown

Release Date: April 2

Why do I always get the urge to read poetry in the spring? Does that happen to any of you as well? This collection’s focus on how history has repeated itself over and over again is grabbing my attention already.

2. When I Arrived at the Castle by Emily Carroll

Release Date: April 16

I’ve never read a gothic horror graphic novel before, but this one is going to make me break that streak. The thought of someone going to live in a castle without having any idea what dangers lurked there is quite interesting to me.

3. Cannonball by Kelsey Wroten

Release Date: April 30

It’s been my experience that a lot of people are hesitant to talk honestly about the things in their lives that aren’t going well, so I’m quite curious to see how this character broaches the topic of possibly having an unhealthy relationship with alcohol.

4. Becoming Dr. Seuss: Theodor Geisel and the Making of an American Imagination by Brian Jay Jones

Release Date: May 7

Honestly, who didn’t love Dr. Seuss when they were a kid? I know almost nothing about his personal life, so it’s probably going to be eye-opening to get to know one of my childhood heroes.

5. Ghosts of Gold Mountain: The Epic Story of the Chinese Who Built the Transcontinental Railroad by Gordon H. Chang

Release Date: May 7

Indeed, these ulcers look viagra viagra online quite unpleasing in appearance and the added side effects of imminent discomfort, pain and uneasiness adds to the scene. Here, some tips that can help a man to know about the procedure wholesale cialis price of gaining an erection during physical intimacy. They viagra properien http://amerikabulteni.com/2013/04/14/abdde-vergi-gunu-iste-gelir-vergisi-konusunda-cok-yaygin-4-yanlis-kanaat/ have a single warehouse operation employing a few people. Men who suffer from Erectile Dysfunction should go slowly, step by step. 1. have a peek at this pharmacy shop cialis on line I know very little about how the transcontinental railroad was built or why Chinese people made up such a large portion of the labor force for that project. It will be nice to have my questions about it answered.

6. Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips

Release Date: May 14

After two young sisters are kidnapped, the various narrators in this book show all of the different ways the characters react to such a terrible event. I think this sounds like a very interesting premise!

7. Hybrida: Poems by Tina Chang

Release Date: May 14

I really like poetry in general. This collection about raising a multiracial child sounds like it’s going to be a good read.

8. Mind and Matter: A Life in Math and Football by John Urschel, with Louisa Thomas

The stereotype that jocks can’t be intelligent or interested in academics has always rubbed me the wrong way. I’m really looking forward to learning why Mr. Urschel decided to switch from playing football to earning his Ph.D. in mathematics.

Release Date: May 14

9. Once More We Saw Stars by Jayson Greene

Release Date: May 14

The author of this memoir lost his two-year-old daughter in a freak accident. After she died, he wrote what sounds like will be an amazing book about love, grief, and how to move on with your life when the unthinkable happens. It feels a little disrespectful to say I’m looking forward to reading this due to how heartbreaking the subject matter is, but I am curious to see what he’ll have to say.

10. The Lesson by Cadwell Turnbull

Release Date: June 18

As soon as I heard that this was about a race of super advanced aliens coming to Earth to perform some sort of research, I knew this was something I’d want to give a try.

Comments

  1. Great list! Ghosts of Gold Mountain sounds really interesting and When I Arrived at the Castle is going straight on my TBR – I love Emily Carroll!

  2. Mind and Matter sounds like a really interesting read. I agree that it is annoying that people think athletes can’t be smart.

  3. Becoming Dr Suess sounds like one I need to add!

  4. Oh, my goodness I don’t know any of these books! Becoming Dr Suess looks very interesting! 🙂

  5. I don’t think I’ve ever read a gothic horror graphic novel either, but When I Arrived at the Castle looks really interesting!

  6. Happy reading!

  7. When I Arrived At The Castle looks so interesting, even though I’ve never read anything like it 🙂 Good luck with your TBR!

  8. When I arrived At The Castle looks super interesting! I love that it’s a graphic novel, and Becoming Dr. Seuss would be so interesting too, I think, to get a peek behind that creative genius!

  9. Disappearing Earth sounds interesting. Maybe I’ll get to it at some point.

    I heard that Dr. Seuss was almost going to give up writing, when he was walking down the street and ran into someone who had just gotten into publishing. If he had been walking down the other side of the street he might have given up. I bet he was an interesting guy.

  10. Becoming Dr. Seuss looks really interesting. Thanks for putting it on my radar.

  11. I haven’t heard of any of these, but I hope you enjoy all these titles. Happy reading!

  12. These all look really intriguing! I hope you enjoy them. 🙂

  13. OMG, thank for the list. Maybe in another time in the future, I’ll grab one of them to be read.

  14. Mind and matter sound great, like a good combination.

  15. I don’t think I’ve heard of any of these, but When I Arrived at the Castle definitely looks like something I’d enjoy.
    Happy reading 🙂

  16. If I add new releases to my seasonal TBRs, I also try and focus on the books releasing between now and the next season. This time I also added some already on my shelf because I’m trying to be better about working in some review/new books with those I already own. 🙂 Hope you enjoy all of these, and thanks so much for the Finding Wonderland visit last week.

  17. Great variety on this list! Nothing I’ve heard of, lots to intrigue. The Ghosts of Gold Mountain looks like an especially interesting look at a different aspect of that period in history.

  18. Oh Dr Seuss. Hope you enjoy!
