Top Ten Tuesday – My Fall TBR Pile

September 27, 2016April 15, 2017 Jane the Raincity Librarian Post a comment

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the bookishly inclined team over at The Broke and the Bookish.

There are so many books I can’t wait to read. So.  Many. Books.

One of the challenges with being a Canadian librarian is that you so often have to exercise that patience you were supposed to have developed in primary school. So many books come out later in Canada than they do in the United States, which means you have to sit patiently pining while all your American blogger friends rave about their favourite new books. Such sadness!

I also rely on the public library to meet my bookish needs, which sometimes means adding my name to waitlists so long they make your eyes water.

Here are just a few books I can’t wait to get my hands on.

Soon, my pretties….soon.

    Your lists are always so full of cute <3 That's why I love your blog, coming here always makes me feel fluffy and warm inside 😀 The Liszts also looks so cool, I will have to take a closer look at that one on goodreads. Here's my TTT (which really isn't cute though unfortunately):

    I am so in love with picture books and my favourite part of my school librarian day is reading to the little ones. I know exaxtly how you feel though, in South Africa we’re one of the last to get the latest books! My TTT

      Sharing stories with little readers is so much fun!! Us non-Americans just have to be extra patient, don’t we? 🙂

    Hey it looks like you changed your font maybe on your title header? Looks nice! Mighty Jack looks fun (love the slingshot) and Monsters go Night-Night does too.

      I love playing with fonts – I’m definitely not a designer, but it’s fun to play around with different looks! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!

    These books all look so lovely! A Child of Books looks especially good – I’m in love with its description, so I’m sure the book will be great.

    I’ve never heard of these books before, but the covers are certainly pretty! Very vibrant and colorful.

      Cover appeal is so important in kids’ books – kids aren’t going to bother to read back copy, so it’s all about grabbing their attention with cover images!
