Thursday Thirteen #160

Today, I thought I'd offer up a list of some of the books in my "to read" pile. I haven't read them so these aren't recommendations.

1. A Writer's Book of Days, by Judy Reeves. "A Spirited Companion & Lively Muse for the Writing Life."

2. Voices, by Ursula K. Le Guin. "Themes of revenge, family legacies, personal morality, and a humanistic magic redolent more of earthy mysteries than flashy sorcery."

3. The Power of Story, by Jim Loehr. "Rewrite Your Destiny in Business and in Life."

4. How to Write Mysteries, by Shannon OCork. "The howdunits of whodunits are no longer a mystery. Inside you'll learn how to spin intriguing yarns guaranteed to keep your readers in suspense until the very last word."

5. A Break With Charity, by Ann Rinaldi. "A story about the Salem Witch Trials."

6. Breathtaking, by Lorin Roche, Ph.D., "Lessons in Breathing to Enhance Your Health and Joy of Living."

7. The Glimmer Train Guide to Writing Fiction, ed. by Susan Burmeister-Brown & Linda B. Swanson-Davies. "In excerpts from interviews conducted over a sixteen-year period, and preserved by the editors of the highly respected literary quarterly Glimmer Train Stories and its newsletter Writers Ask, contemporary writers who rarely discuss their craft present you with eye-opening techniques, diverse perspectives, and genuine encouragement."

8. Yoga for Dummies, by Georg Feuerstein, Ph.D. and Larry Payne, Ph.D. "A tremendous service for yoga enthusiasts and health professionals."

9. 8 Minute Meditation, by Victor Davich. "Quiet Your Mind. Change Your Life."

10. The Lacuna, by Barbara Kingsolver. "An epic journey from the Mexico of artists Diege Rivera and Frida Kahlo to the America of Pearl Harbor, FDR and J. Edgar Hoover."

11. Becoming Queen Victoria, by Kate Williams. "The tragic death of Princess Charlotte and the unexpected rise of Britain's greatest monarch."

12. The Lindar Diamond, by Katie Hickman. "A gripping historical tale of love and avarice in Venice."

13. Snowbound, by Richard S. Wheeler. "A haunting novel about hubris and its consequences."


My "to read" pile is rather large; actually, probably, the largest it has ever been as this is just the tip of it. I definitely don't need another trip to the bookstore anytime soon.



Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here.  I've been playing for a while and this is my 160th time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday.
