My Ideal Bookshelf ed. by Thessaly La Force | Goodreads

Here’s another nonfiction TBR I found while at work. I look forward to reading it before the end of the summer.

Friendfluence: The Surprising Ways Friends Make Us Who We Are | Amazon

When I finish reading the Bible and can take on another nonfiction work, it’s definitely going to be Carlin Flora’s Friendfluence… My mom and I saw this on the shelf at our nearby HCPL branch.

Beautiful creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl | FirstSearch: WorldCat Detailed Record

Yet again, the movie made me curious. While I’ve got other books ahead of this series, I look forward to giving it a try before seeing the movie.

My Reading Life by Pat Conroy | FirstSearch: WorldCat Detailed Record

Conroy, P., & Minor, W. (2010). My reading life. New York: Nan A. Talese/Doubleday.  9780385533577

I’ve wanted to read this book ever since it hit the shelves. This is a work of nonfiction where writer Pat Conroy acknowledges the books which shaped his written work. However, I’ve not gotten around to it yet. Maybe officially posting it to my TBRs list will encourage me to change this fact.

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo | LibraryThing

Hugo, V., Wilbour, C. E., Fahnestock, L., & MacAfee, N. (1987). Les misérables. New York, N.Y., U.S.A: Penguin. 9780451525260

I will probably see the movie first but I still want to read this classic novel which inspired a musical and this movie!

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope by William Kamkwamba | LibraryThing

Kamkwamba, W., & Mealer, B. (2009). The boy who harnessed the wind: Creating currents of electricity and hope. New York, NY: William Morrow. 9780061730320

The other day, I attended a training for work. One of the books mentioned was William Kamkwamba and Bryan Mealer’s The boy who harnessed the wind… As my book haul is pretty large, I’m TBR’ing this one. I look forward to reading it, though.

The House of Velvet and Glass by Katherine Howe | LibraryThing

Howe, K. (2012). The house of velvet and glass. New York: Voice/Hyperion. 9781401340919

When I saw that the writer of The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane had written another book, I requested The House of Velvet and Glass via HCPL Digital Media Catalog.

Beyond Boundaries: The New Neuroscience of Connecting Brains with Machines—and How It Will Change Our Lives by Migue Nicolelis | LibraryThing

Nicolelis, M. (2011). Beyond boundaries: The new neuroscience of connecting brains with machines–and how it will change our lives. New York: Times Books/Henry Holt and Co. 9780805090529

I requested this book last year and it arrived along with several others. Then, I went on a mission trip and a couple of vacations. Thus, I’m requesting Beyond Boundaries… again via HCPL.

The Memory Keeper’s Daughter by Kim Edwards | LibraryThing

Edwards, K. (2005). The memory keeper’s daughter. New York: Viking. 9780670034161

One of my friends on Goodreads asked me to read this book. So, I’m requesting The Memory Keeper’s Daughter via HCPL.

Sacre Bleu: A Comedy d’Art by Christopher Moore | LibraryThing

Moore, C. (2012). Sacre bleu: A comedy d’art. New York: William Morrow. 9780061779749

My mom saw a book review in the Houston Chronicle. Then, she requested the book via HCPL. After its arrival, I’m inclined to follow suit.

Total memory makeover by Marilu Henner | WorldCat Detailed Record

Henner, M., & Henner, L. (2012). Total memory makeover: Uncover your past, take charge of your future. New York: Gallery Books. 9781451651218

This book was among the new stuff I’ve checked into the system. I’ll request it soon. Let’s hope I’ll remember!

Do Yourself A Favor…Forgive by Joyce Meyer | LibraryThing

Meyer, J. (2012). Do yourself a favor– forgive: Learn how to take control of your life through forgiveness. New York: FaithWords. 978-0446547277

I saw it on a cart today and I’ve requested it. Just the title alone spoke to me.
