Today’s TT is a freebie, and I can’t think of anything so I’m going to go with….ten random books. I asked Bing to supply a random number, which proved to be #73, so I’m going to go with the 73rd book I read each year between 2012 and 2022. But first, Teaser Tuesday, from Team of Five: The Presidents Club in the Age of Trump:
But life after the White House felt like it was “moving in slow motion,” [Obama] confessed. When his literary agent told him that his publisher wanted to meet with him “right away” about his memoir, he suggested a time the next day. “Oh, no,” the agent replied. “It’s going to take two weeks to set it up.” In the White House, the stakes were incomprehensibly high and urgent. “I had to explain to him,” Obama said, “where I’m coming from, ‘right away’ means if we don’t do something in half an hour, somebody dies.”
And now, for completely random titles!
2012:
Founding Brothers: the Revolutionary Generation, Joseph Lewis
2013
The Choice: A Parable of Free Trade and Protectionism, Russell D. Roberts
2014:
The Great War at Sea, A.A. Hoehling

2017:
Countdown to Zero Day: Stuxnet and the Launch of the World’s First Digital Weapon, Kim Zetter
2018:
Daemon, Daniel Suarez. A non-history title! This remains one of the best SF/technical thrillers I’ve read, about an AI launching a program to rebuild the world according to its makers’ intentions, using video games to recruit human agents.
2019:
Altered Carbon, Richard Morgan
2020:
To Wake the Giant: A Novel of Pearl Harbor, Jeff Shaara
2021:
Steal this Book, Abbie Hoffman
2022:

Reading Freely 
That’s an interesting way to answer this prompt!
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
A random number generator is a good idea. I’ll have to keep that in mind for the next time I’m stumped by a freebie post. 🙂
I started going back looking for inspiration from other freebie posts, and was tempted to do one on podcasts….but I figured random might produce a fun pattern. Turns out it was mostly history!
I don’t know any of these titles, but I am impressed that you’ve read 73+ books every single year. The most I’ve read since I started to log my reading is around 64 books in one year.
My usual is 160, 170. Helps to be a childless bachelor with few distractions. 😂
Last Call was great. Thanks for sharing!
Fun idea for a list! It’s always interesting to see where randomness will lead…
Happy TTT!

Thanks for visiting my TTT this week.
These are pretty random! How fun!
Here’s my TTT post.
I’m very impressed that you’ve read 73+ books each year, my highest ever has been 45 and I usually end up between 20-30 each year.
