Category: Top Ten Tuesday

  There are so many authors I’ve meant to read for years, and just never gotten around to. So this week’s prompt is easy! Here are a few of the ones that come to mind currently.                                             READ MORE

  It’s a freebie this week, so I chose to share some of the books I’ve unhauled recently. I’ve been trying to clear off space on my bookshelves (and, let’s face it, in the various stacks of books randomly scattered around my house), so I’ve gotten rid of like 6 full boxes of books in READ MORE

  This is a hard one, because I don’t even get close to reading all the books that come out. I don’t even read all the big titles each year. So choosing future classics from the tiny sliver of books I’ve actually read is somewhat of a challenge. I’ve got some here that I legitimately READ MORE

  This week’s prompt is “books with an adjective in the title.” I feel like this is a fairly broad category, so I’m going to look through my shelves and recent books on my Goodreads lists, and see which pop out first!                                READ MORE

  Any of you who have been around for a while will be fully expecting what I’m about to say: I never, ever stick to a TBR that doesn’t have an outside component to it. If I’m reading books for something like a book club or prize, I’ll read them because I said I would READ MORE

  There are several book themes that will usually draw me in. A lot of my favourite books of all time are about one of these themes, and a lot of the books I’m most looking forward to reading are as well. I couldn’t pick just one, so I’ve separated this post into a few READ MORE

  This week’s prompt is a hard one, because mostly I have mentioned books by this point. But there are several that, while I may have mentioned them, I didn’t actually write reviews. So here are a selection of them.                    Some of these I haven’t reviewed yet. READ MORE

  This is one of those prompts I expect to have a really hard time with. I’m sure there are tons of books with amazing dynamic duos. But I can’t think of any right now. So this is one of those posts that I’ll be slowly (hopefully) adding to as new books pop into my READ MORE

  This is SUCH a good prompt. There are so many books I didn’t review yet because I just can’t figure out how to do them justice, and others that I reviewed, but felt really nervous about posting! Here are some of them. A few I haven’t reviewed yet (or haven’t published reviews of):   READ MORE

  Well, it’s that time of year again! Flower shops selling out, chocolate wrappers scattered throughout the entire house, and, Omicron permitting, forced dates going either extremely well or horribly wrong. It’s not a holiday I care much about, but this year I decided to lean into it with a list of LGBTQIAP+ books that READ MORE

  This is a really interesting prompt. I don’t really notice when character names are in the title, but I probably will now! These aren’t necessarily my favourites that fit this prompt, just ones that I’ve either read recently or have sitting on the shelf in front of me!               READ MORE

  I had an amazingly good reading year in 2021. A lot of the rest of the year sucked, but that part worked out okay. So there were more authors I became acquainted with this year that I’m sure I’ll revisit, and some of these books are not favourites.              READ MORE

  There are so many books that came out in 2021 that I was really interested in… and didn’t get to. And guess what? That makes it pretty much like every other year. I NEVER get to all the books I want to read. Ever. And this particular list could go on for days. So READ MORE

  Weirdly, at least for me, I haven’t really been buying books. I didn’t even find many books under my tree this year. So this post was a bit of a struggle – the last books I bought, except for the first one, were bought months ago. And I don’t really remember which were the READ MORE

  I haven’t been paying much attention to the literary world lately. It seems, based on the last couple of years of reading, that starting in September there begins a sort of seasonal winding-down in my reading life. I read progressively less, and normally by the time I hit December, I’m fully on hiatus. I READ MORE

  I have had an absurdly good reading year. I don’t know how that happened – I went into 2021 not having read a single book in a couple of months. Every time I have a slump like that I have no idea when (or, indeed, if) I’m going to get back into reading. But READ MORE

  I haven’t been reading as much lately, and I haven’t been following the book world, so I’m very out of the loop on new releases! So here are a few books that aren’t necessarily new, but that I’d love to see under the tree!                        READ MORE

  I haven’t been reading much lately. In fact, I think I read one book last month. It’s doubtful this month will be any different. But just in case, here are a few books I’m most interested in:                                         READ MORE
