Top Ten Tuesday: Books I currently have out from the library


Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. There is no set theme this week and so today I am sharing the books that I currently have out of the library. Our library system is still closed because we are still in lockdown, so they keep on extending the return date. At the moment the return date is due to be 31 October but that could be extended further depending on what happens. 





The Opal Dragonfly by Julian Leatherdale - I read this author's first book a few months ago and I liked it so requested this one. I intend to read his last book too.

Tsarina by Ellen Alpsten - This was reviewed a lot a couple of months ago and it sounds so good. I requested it from the library straight away

The Heirloom Garden by Viola Shipman - I saw this mentioned a few times and knew I wanted to read it!




The Gilded Wolves by Roshani Chokshi - I saw this mentioned on a few Top Ten Tuesday posts over a few weeks so decided I needed to read it myself

Ambulance Girls at War by Deborah Burrows - This is the the third book in the Ambulance Girls trilogy

Those Who Are  Loved by Victoria Hislop - I really enjoyed some books by Victoria Hislop years ago but it has been a long time since I read one.



The Year the Maps Changed by Danielle Binks - This is a middle grade book but I have heard good things about it.

The Poppy Wife by Caroline Scott - I saw this on someone's blog somewhere and it prompted me to request it from the library, but I can't remember where or when.

Rosewater & Soda Bread by Marsha Mehran - This is the last book that I borrowed from the library before it closed that I haven't read yet, so I want to read it before the library opens again



Recipe for a Perfect Wife by Karma Brown - This is the current Cook the Books bookclub choice, I am about half way through this at the moment.

  1. I'm interested in a few of these library books likes Tsarina, The Heirloom Garden, and Rosewater & Soda Bread. Hope you let us know what you think. How's The Perfect Wife coming along? I still have to do my post for that. As host, I will probably be the last one to post up.

    1. I am half way through Debra. Not sure I am going to make it in time because I just don't have a lot of audio time anymore.

  3. Our library was closed. For so long, I was frustrated because I'd just requested a dozen books and they were sitting inside the library, awaiting me, but I couldn't get to them.

    1. I can imagine. Unfortunately, with our move last year, I lost our great library. The one we have here is just German and they do mainly new books, nothing older than a couple of years. :(

  10. Our libraries are open, but still only for curbside pickup. I'm just glad I can still get books from there. Hopefully, it will be open for browsing again sometime soon-ish! I miss actually being INSIDE the library :)

    Happy TTT!

  12. These all sound good! I was just prepping a post for Thursday and mentioning how I hope library buildings open soon. I've picked up a couple at the curb but it's just not the same as browsing.

    1. I don't tend to browse at the library most of the time Jen. I tend to put in hold requests and then just run in and pick them up.

  13. I hope you enjoy them! I have a few library books out too, but they’re all digital, so they have to go back in a few weeks.
