Category: Top Ten Tuesday

  This week’s topic is books that were recommended to me. I just did this post a few months ago, but when I did it, I didn’t give any explanation for my picks. So I’m going to use that same post, but add some context.               I discovered About A Boy, Notes READ MORE

  Today’s topic is books with super long titles. This is one of those that I struggled with, not because I couldn’t find any, but because I keep feeling like I’m forgetting obvious ones! Here are the ones I came up with:                         .    READ MORE

  This week’s topic is books that have autumn (fall) vibes. I’ve done this same topic every year for what feels like most of my blogging life. No offense to the creator – there is a constant cycle of new bloggers who haven’t done it yet, and others more patient and creative than I am READ MORE

  WARNING: If you don’t like swearing, go read something else now. You’ve been warned. We just had a prompt about best first lines of books, and I found that task odious. So to spare myself all the angst and potential concussion associated with books falling on my head while searching for quotes I like READ MORE

  I’m excited about several books that are coming out (or have recently come out), so I’m going to focus on which of those I’d love to read if I can get my hands on them!                                        READ MORE

  I feel like it hasn’t been that long since I had a cover prompt, so this time I’m going for a specific niche: books with people reading on the cover. I love books about books and reading, as you all know, so this is a particularly fun one!               READ MORE

  One of the best parts of being a parent is when my daughter curls up on my lap and we read one book after another. She loves being read to, she loves talking about what she sees in the books and asking questions, and I enjoy sharing my love of books with her – READ MORE

  I’m not really that into foodie writing (or foodie anything, since I’m a vegetarian with an otherwise very British penchant for the bland and potato-based), so this one is going to involve a few that will seem like a bit of a stretch.                    Under the READ MORE

  I feel like there is a small list of questions I’d have for authors, and they are generally pretty standard. But there are one or two I’d ask of specific authors, so here they are. Neil Gaiman My favourite book of all time is Good Omens written by yourself and Terry Pratchett. I want READ MORE

  Around the time when I had my daughter I found reading hard. I read, but it was in fits and starts, with long breaks, and one book in particular took me months to read. I wasn’t blogging during that time, so I didn’t review what I was reading, so there are several I’ve read READ MORE

  I like this week’s prompt idea. You don’t really think about how many books have a certain colour in the cover or have a type of food or plant in the title or have authors whose names begin with a certain letter until you have a challenge like this one. I hadn’t ever thought READ MORE

  It’s been years since I’ve been to any kind of literary event, but the ones I’ve attended have been hugely inspirational. There are several in different parts of the world I’d love to attend (or go to again). Below are the highlights of my list, and at the end I’m including some great lists READ MORE

  I love books that make me smile. Most of my favourite books did that for me, at least in parts. So this post is going to be a nostalgic journey through some of the ones that stood out to me the most for this very reason! I like that this topic came now, because READ MORE

  I haven’t found a way to sort my “read” shelf on Goodreads by most books read by a single author, so I had to do a bit of guess work to get the list below. Nearly 30 years of reading will start to blur together, after all! Quick-Read Series: Charlaine Harris I was really READ MORE

  I’m not as on top of upcoming releases as I normally am, but I’ve spent a little time Googling and have found a fair few worth noting! July                            Of these I’m probably most interested in New One and Loveless, but Crossings is intriguing (it’s READ MORE

  This week marks the 500th Top Ten Tuesday! To celebrate, we’ve been allowed to do any topic we want – go back and do one we missed, re-do one we enjoyed or come up with something brand new. I am following Jana’s lead and looking back over some of my old posts and adding READ MORE

  I completely spaced on this week’s post because I’ve been spending all my spare time working on a Black Lives Matter post (with lots of books in it) – mostly writing, re-writing, revising, having lots of feelings, not liking it, starting again. Hopefully I’ll get to a point where I can publish this week. READ MORE
