My TBR Pile #3

It’s been two months since I shared a reading list, so is just the right time for my TBR Pile #3, here are the second one and the first one. This time I was able to take the picture of the books in my new bookcase. I’m so pleased with how the bookcases look like. I will update this post as soon as I finish a book or two from the list. Of course, I will review all the books I read cover-to-cover on my book blog, Coffee and Books. Furthermore, you can befriend me on goodreads, if you want to check on my book updates.

Now, let’s talk about the books I plan to read in the next couple of months, all of them are non-fiction. I have some fiction books I read, mostly regency, but I did not add them to the list. Also, the libraries will open from next week, but not all, and with quite an awkward schedule. Most of the books in this list are review copies, but a few are mine. I’m also expecting two more books to arrive these days. They are not in the picture, but I included them at the end of the list. These two are written by one of my tutors and are relevant for what I’m going to study in year 2 at university.

As you can see from the picture, there is quite a fascinating mix, from a book about Weed (which I’m very intrigued about) to a lot of history books, which is not exactly unexpected.
