The topic for this week’s Top Ten Tuesdays is the Ten Most Recent Additions to my Bookshelf.

I apparently showed some strong control lately, I had to go back weeks to come up with ten entries. That’s over with, however, if I did this post again in 2 weeks, only 2 books (maximum) would be on both lists. By the time this posts, I’ll have at least started all but one of these (and will likely start that this week). That’s an astounding bit of discipline on my part.

I should probably go reward myself with a couple of books for that kind of restraint, right? Some positive reinforcement to keep that kind of discipline cooking.
