It’s taken me several days to get through all of the posts linked at the Book Blogger Appreciation Week linky for Thursday on Forgotten Treasure, books that were one blogger’s treasure but were ignored, under-appreciated or forgotten by most of the rest of us. I already listed nineteen books that I want to read, gleaned from these Forgotten Treasure posts. Here are the rest of the books that I found that I want to read:

Hands of My Father by Myron Uhlberg is a memoir about a hearing child growing up during the Depression era with deaf parents. It’s recommended by Valerie, hearing-impaired blogger at Life Is a Patchwork Quilt.

I Had Seen Castles by Cynthia Rylant is about an old mans memories of his youth during World War II. I love Rylant’s picture books and easy readers, so I’m intrigued by the thought of reading an adult/young adult book by her. Recommended at DeRaps Reads.

Room by Emma Donaghue. I actually gleaned this one form the Saturday Review. Recommended at Take Me Away.

The Darkest Child by Delores Phillips. Recommended by Janelle at Lit Snit.

The Old Wive’s Tale by Arnold Bennett. A forgotten Victorian classic? I’m in. Recommended by KarenLibrarian.

Lying Awake by Mark Salzman. Someone else recommended this book about a nun who has visions to me, but I didn’t make a note. And I forgot all about it. Recommended at Word Lily.

Confessions of the Sullivan Girls by Natalie Standiford. Reviewed at YA Book Shelf.

Enough. I must stop. I already have enough books on my TBR list to keep me busy from now until my untimely death in about 2050. I’ll be 93 then and still reading, I hope.

To change the subject a bit, Mental Floss has an article you may want to check out if you’re a Tolkien fan like me: 10 Things You Should Know about JRR Tolkien. I guess I knew most of the things already, but it was fun anyway.
