*Inspirational and clean reads to remember and see
The prompt for this week is actually Books on my past season TBR that I still haven’t read, but since I’m fairly new doing this TTT post, I only have a couple of those to look at. I do, however, have plenty of books on my TBR I can share.

Is it hot where you live? Here in Tennessee the weather has dished up the hot and humid (and we’ve got a couple more months of this to look forward to). My nephew (who lives in north Idaho) told me that our low temperaturs were his high temperatures. While I have no desire to move back, I do miss the more temperate summers but I’ll take the trade off on the winters.
The shorter week held fewer giveaways but there are a few still open for entry.

The book I’m anticipating most the second half of 2022 is my own book (coming September 6), but since I don’t have a cover yet, I won’t include it in this list. I also won’t include any of the books on my summber tbr list that I shared last week.

Today’s TTT topic is one that I can quadruple, but for your sake (and mine sanity), I’ve narrowed the top ten 2021 releases I was excited to read but didn’t get to. Because let’s face it, y’all, there just aren’t enough hours in the year. You can find out what books others missed out on by visiting our host at That Artsy Reader Girl.
Let me know in the comments if you’ve read any of these and if so, which one I should put at the top of my tbr for 2022.
Pudge and Prejudice is an homage to Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, transported to the fictitious Northfield Texas High School in the year 1984. After moving to Northfield with her family, Elyse Nebbit faces the challenge of finding her place in a new school, one dominated by social status and Friday night football. When Elyse’s effortlessly beautiful older sister Jayne starts dating Charlie Bingley, the captain of the school football team, Elyse finds herself curious about Charlie’s popular and brooding best friend, Billy Fitz. Elyse’s body insecurities eventually complicate her relationship with Billy, leaving Jayne and Elyse’s exceedingly blunt friend, Lottie, to step in and help Elyse accept herself for who she is, pant size and all.
In 1975, three thousand children were airlifted out of Saigon to be adopted into Western homes. When Mindy, one of those children, announces her plans to return to Vietnam to find her birth mother, her loving adoptive family is suddenly thrown back to the events surrounding her unconventional arrival into their lives.
Though her father supports Mindy’s desire to meet her family of origin, he struggles privately with an unsettling fear that he’ll lose the daughter he’s poured his heart into. Mindy’s mother undergoes the emotional roller coaster inherent in the adoption of a child from a war-torn country, discovering the joy hidden amid the difficulties. And Mindy’s sister helps her sort through relics that whisper of the effect the trauma of war has had on their family–but also speak of the beauty of overcoming.
Told through three strong voices in three compelling timelines, The Nature of Small Birds is a hopeful story that explores the meaning of family far beyond genetic code.
