This week for Top Ten Tuesday, we’re sharing our fall reading lists! In my case, it’s a literal fall TBR: I’m currently diligently working on my Pile of Doom, complete with scheduled titles and the like, with other materials mixed in.
- Something by Stephen King. I haven’t decided yet; both It and Pet Semetary are two of his more well-known titles which I’ve not yet experienced.
- Good Reasons for Bad Feelings: Insights from the Frontier of Evolutionary Psychiatry, Randolph Nesse. TBR title
- Enemy at the Gate, a history of the Battle of Vienna, in which Ottoman expansion into Europe was checked by the Austrians. TBR title.
- Ring of Steel, or The German War. These are similar titles: one covers the Great War from the Austro-German perspective; the other is a history of WW2 focusing on the German homefront. Both are TBR titles.
- War Lord, Bernard Cornwell. To be released in November…possibly the last in the Saxon Stories series?
- A Bright Future: How Some Nations Have Solved Climate Change, Joshua Goldstein. TBR title.
- Atomic Awakening: A New Look at the History and Future of Nuclear Energy, James Mahaffey. TBR title.
- Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons and the Illusion of Safety, Eric Schlosser. TBR title on the history of near-nuclear incidents between DC and Moscow.
- Firefly: Generations. Another of those Firefly novels. This one is a preorder to be released in November.
- Dorothy and Jack: The Transforming Friendship of Dorothy Sayers & C.S. Lewis. This one is more debatable…I may save it for next year’s Read of England, but it’s also a possible for the week of November 22, as a kind of nod to Lewis’ death.
Reading Freely 
Pet Semetary was a great read!
My post .
I look forward to seeing how some nations have solved a global problem… [grin]
It’s probably more of a “Found an approach which can be used by every other nation” solution, I assume. 😉
Good to know! [grin] I look forward to your review….
Lots of great nonfiction! I’m especially interested to hear about Good Reasons for Bad Feelings.
Also, I haven’t read Dorothy & Jack yet, but I’ve been following Gina on Dickenblog for years (I think it was the first blog I followed): https://dickensblog.typepad.com/ Really cool to see her work getting published. 🙂
Thanks for that! I didn’t realize she was a blogger — the book surfaced on goodreads a few weeks back and it immediately caught my eye. 🙂
Let me know what kind of things you’re looking for in your ‘Read of England’ & I’ll see if I can give you some ideas.
Thanks! I’m focused on finishing my next Classics Club list, but after that I’ll start fishing for RoE ideas. I want to do something BESIDES the usual re-visits. Dorothy and Jack seemed a good candidate because they’re both interesting British personalities.
Cool… I’ve just started a set of three books on British PM’s which you might find interesting (especially the only one who was assassinated!). Plus I have a few unread tomes about the run-up to WW1. Let me know your thoughts when you’re in the Brit-Zone & I’ll see what titles I can throw at you.
