Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week it is a Halloween freebie but i am not really feeling it as a topic, mainly because we don't really do Halloween. We have some friends who have an annual Halloween dress-up party but that has been cancelled this year.
Instead, I have decided to share the books that I have out from the library at the moment. After we moved house I joined my new local library system so now I have two that I can choose from. The old one isn't so far away that I can't visit it as necessary. Often there are different books available in both systems so it works well for me!
The Happiest Man on Earth by Eddie Jaku - Still need to read this one.
Lonely Planet Italy - Research for our trip which is coming up quickly.
Beatrix Bakes by Natalie Paull - Beatrix Bakes was a cult bakery here in Melbourne. It recently closed down
Meshi: A Personal History of Japanese Food by Katherine Tamiko Arguile - This caught my attention as soon as I saw it.
The Art of Cake by Alice Oehr - This looks like such a fun books
In Bibi's Kitchen by Hawa Hassan and Juliet Turshen - I have actually reviewed this already but I am keeping it a bit longersothat we can cook a couple more dishes out of it.
One More Croissant for the Road by Felicity Cloake - This is another book I am planning to read in anticipation of our trip
With Love from Wish & Co by Minnie Darke - I loved the last book from Minnie Darke
The Hidden Beach by Karen Swan - I am reading this one at the moment!
The Rearranged Life of Oona Lockhart by Margarita Montifore - I have been looking for this book for ages. It is also published under the title Oona Out of Order.
This doesn't include my digital checkouts, and I just got an email to say I have another book to pick up, so lucky I did this today!
I miss having a library around! Sounds weird, seeing that I work in a library... But that's for kids and hardly any adult books or any new releases. Just donations and the couple of books I can buy for them annually on the budget!
ReplyDeleteThankful for so many other sites though and Book Club of course!
Enjoy your library reads and how lucky are you to have two libraries close by.
Elza Reads
I am very lucky!!
DeleteI hope you come up with some good places to visit in Italy. My favorite spot in Italy was Lucca. Such a cozy little town.
ReplyDeleteI am happy I have such great libraries around me.
We are only going to the south of Italy - Puglia, Amalfi Coast and Naples. We are already talking about next time!
DeleteOne More Croissant For the Road looks really cute! My Halloween TTT
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to that one!
DeleteThese look like some fun reads! I hope you enjoy them all.

ReplyDeleteWhen do you go to Italy?! We went a few years ago and really enjoyed our time there.
ReplyDeleteWe will be in Italy in mid January Cindy!
DeletePersonally, I don't think you're missing much with Halloween. It's definitely NOT my favorite holiday.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have some fun reads out from the library. Enjoy!
Happy TTT!
Mine either!
DeleteYou got me hooked on Minnie Darke. I hope this one comes to the US soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it will CLM!
DeleteI love looking forward to and researching for a trip. It's been years since we were in Italy, but it's such a fabulous place - look forward to hearing about your trip! I'm not much for Halloween either, but I do love a creepy story!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit.

Part of this trip is the one we planned for 2020 but never happened and now we have changed it a bit!
DeleteI hope you enjoy all of these!

I am sure I will love at least some of them.
DeleteI hope you love them all! I have a bad habit of checking out a zillion library books and reading those instead of the books I bought.
ReplyDeleteOnce upon a time I would have the maximum amount of library books out at all times, which was 60 books!
