Category: Top Ten Tuesday

  Today I’m going to share some books that I’m thankful for – books that picked me up when I was down, books that made me feel seen, books that taught me something I didn’t know or shared an important perspective on life. These books all meant something special to me, and I recommend all READ MORE

  This is an interesting theme, because it’s a lot more open-ended than it seems at first glance. This could be the typical romantic conclusion type of “awww” moment, but it could also be so many other kinds. When someone who has been through a rough time experiences a kindness. When someone breaks through their READ MORE

  I’m not much for Halloween. So the idea of a Halloween freebie post isn’t as easy as it might seem on the surface. So I’m doing a bit of a sideways approach. I’m doing some book that are a bit spooky (have supernatural elements), but also some that have a form of magic (or READ MORE

  I love finding interesting words. Words that sound odd, words that make you giggle just to say them, words that are fun to say… I just get such enjoyment out of some of the words out there! So here are a few of my favourite fun words.   Scallywag /ˈskaləˌwaɡ,ˈskalēˌwaɡ/ noun INFORMAL noun: scallywag a READ MORE

  This week’s prompt was books you’ve read on vacation – bonus if you can tell us where you read them. I’ve got no idea. I haven’t been on vacation in over 7 years. I can’t remember what I had for breakfast. There’s just no way. So instead I’m sharing a few books about places READ MORE

  This is an interesting prompt, because it seems so simple at first, but when you really start to look for books with typographic covers (meaning covers that are mostly words), there is actually so much variation, and so many interesting ways that the words can be placed and used. So here are some I READ MORE

  I’m not really one for TBRs, as you all know, so instead of an actual TBR with intent, I’m listing some books that are coming out soon, have come out recently or have been on or near the top of my list of books I really want to read for a while and aren’t READ MORE

  I mean, I am usually pretty good at figuring out which books I won’t want to keep and borrowing those ones from the library. So this might be a bit of a challenging prompt for me, but I’ll do my best to come up with some! I can think of one, at least….   READ MORE

  This week’s prompt is a school freebie, so I’ve decided to look at some of the books that taught me how to be a better person. I always think they need to teach kids about feelings more in school, and teach them how to understand other people, employ relativism to accept differences, and, above READ MORE

  This prompt isn’t a particularly hard on, as I’ve been reading for 35 or so years now! There are plenty of books I love that are more than a decade old. Some significantly older! I’ll start with a recent re-read, and go from there!                          READ MORE

  I’ve already done the prompt for this week – hilarious book titles – here. So this week I’m going to do a bit of a tangential prompt. I’m going to list some books with titles that made me really, really curious!                                   READ MORE

  This week’s prompt was actually books on previous seasonal TBRs you haven’t read. But I figured, given my inability to stick to TBRs, looking at the books I have read would be a shorter post. So here they are.                    How the One-Armed Sister Sweeps Her House READ MORE
