Top Ten Tuesday is a book meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish. This week’s topic is a dangerous one: books I want to read but don’t yet own. Because something happens to me when I start thinking about books I want to read but don’t yet own. That something is that I end up click clicking and next thing you know, I do own those books! They are wending their way to South Dakota and I am wondering why I can’t pay off my credit card this month. Books. Books would be the answer.
Julia’s House for Lost Creatures, written and illustrated by Ben Hatke
Everything Leads to You by Nina LaCour
Sam and Dave Dig a Hole, written by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Jon Klassen
Hana Hashimoto, Sixth Violin, written by Chieri Uegaki and illustrated by Qin Leng
Telephone, written by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Jen Corace
The Troublemaker, written and illustrated by Lauren Castillo
The Right Word: Roget and His Thesaurus, written by Jen Bryant and illustrated by Melissa Sweet
The Girl and the Bicycle, written and illustrated by Mark Pett
Quest, written and illustrated by Aaron Becker
Ivan: The Remarkable True Story of the Shopping Mall Gorilla, written by Katherine Applegate and illustrated by G. Brian Karas
The Girl and the Bicycle was just on a wish list of mine and presto, I now own it. Don’t know how that happened (it did have something to do with a promotion card someone passed on to me so no credit cards involved . . . )
Great list! Some I think are non-negotiable!
I love picture books and sharing them with the students that visit our school library. I don’t know any of these but love the look of Julia’s House for Lost Creatures…

I love that you talk picture books!! I’ve had the pleasure of reading some of these already. Love Julia’s House for Lost Creatures (huge fan of Ben Hatke’s Zita books), and of course Quest is just as breathtaking as Journey was. I liked Girl and the Bicycle too.
