Category: Top Ten Tuesday

  I’m going to follow my lead last week and include audiobooks here, because I don’t buy that many physical books these days! Some of these I got with credits, others were included as part of my Audible subscription. But they’re ones I’ve added to my library recently and am looking forward to reading!   READ MORE

  This is always a hard one for me, because how am I supposed to narrow it down to just ten books???? I mean, really. It’s like whoever came up with this idea doesn’t know any readers. I’ll do my best, but I’m not making any promises! To make it a little easier, I’m going READ MORE

  Well, I have a lot. My TBR is basically… my whole house and most of my virtual space. I have not a chance of getting through even a fraction of my TBR, but on the plus side there’s a lot to choose from when I’m choosing what to read! There are some of the READ MORE

  Today I decided to share some of the books I’ve read or want to read on the topic of nature. This is being used very, very broadly, as I’m pretty much using it to denote any wholesome activity that takes place outside or involves interfacing with a part of the natural world (like The READ MORE

  Apparently it’s Thanksgiving in the US this week (a holiday I do not keep track of nor put much stock in, but that’s another discussion). This year’s topic is one I can certainly get behind, however – reasons to be thankful for books. Well, *cracks knuckles* let’s get started, shall we? They let me READ MORE

  Oh man. What a difficult post – to complete this we have to each look in the mirror, and confront our own failings. Not only that, but we must confront our very mortality. As upsetting as the thought may be, we will each die with books left unread, and I can guarantee that at READ MORE

  This is a very interesting topic! Hats off to the creator, Cathy (from What Cathy Read Next – I think that’s the right link, but correct me if I’m wrong)! I had so much fun scouring my shelves and TBR list to find some great titles that would stand out on the front page. READ MORE

  I’m not a fan of freebie weeks, generally. Especially when it comes to Halloween, because I’ve got nothing. I don’t do horror. I don’t do spooky. I don’t do ghost stories. So what exactly am I supposed to share? I guess I’ll go with any books I have read (or would read) that have READ MORE

  I love this prompt. There are so many books I’ve read that managed to create such a strong sense of setting that it seemed to lift off the page and envelope me – for better or worse. Here are some of the books that stand out when I think of this.       READ MORE

  This week’s topic is book titles with weather in them, or book covers that feature weather events. I’m going to go with the former, mostly because I think that’ll be some interesting searching to do!                                       That turned out READ MORE

  Well, this is an interesting one – as I sit here typing out a book blog for which I get absolutely zero monetary compensation! So I guess I’d say – this one! But as that’s one, and this is a list of ten, let’s see what else I can come up with.   Book READ MORE

  Hmm. I’m not really sure what to do with this post, because I don’t really set a whole lot of reading goals, other than participating in the Goodreads challenge each year. But even then, I generally set my goal to one book a week, which by this point I’ve likely passed already. So I READ MORE

  This is an interesting prompt. Because of my poor memory, however, I’m left wishing I’d known this was coming up while I’d been reading over the past decade or so, so I’d be able to make a list as I read. Now I have a hard time thinking of them, and I know I’ll READ MORE

  Here we go again – another list of books that I’m currently super excited about, but that will move down my TBR the second the post is published. Oh, to be someone who could actually set a list and then follow through! So here are books that look excellent that I most likely will READ MORE

  This prompt is not the easiest, but it’s also a great one. Because the relationships between characters in our books both tell us a tremendous amount about that character’s sense of self, place in the world and generosity of spirit, and help us feel emotionally connected to the story as it unfolds. They also READ MORE

  This is an interesting topic. It manages to sum up both the best and worst parts of being a reader. Worst, because when you’re super excited to read a book, particularly if it’s one that has come highly recommended to you, and then it’s a let-down, the disappointment can be a physical sensation. On READ MORE

  This week’s prompt is books with water. It’s open to interpretation, so as per usual, I’ve created unnecessary work for myself by interpreting it in two ways and doing both. Because of course I did.   Books with water in the title:                             READ MORE

  This is a topic I’ve been reading a lot about over the last few years – longer, even. It’s one that’s close to my own experiences and the experiences of people in my life, and one I find very fascinating. I started reading about depression, then anxiety, and various other issues like bipolar disorder READ MORE
