Category: Top Ten Tuesday

  This week’s prompt is books you want to read again – either ones you wish you could read again for the first time or books you want to re-read. I have plenty of both.     .                                   I don’t know READ MORE

  It’s not thanksgiving in Canada (we had that back in October), but I felt like I’d like to do this prompt anyway. Though it may seem odd, 2020 has made me feel incredibly thankful for a lot of things I otherwise might have taken for granted. It’s been hard, no doubt about it, but READ MORE

  There are some fantastic characters out there, and some equally brilliant names. Here are a few that top my list of ones I’d love to call out while walking a dog in the park or petting a purring kitten! Crawley and Aziraphale from Good Omens Lord Voldemort, Bellatrix Lestrange, Molly Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Mrs READ MORE

  This prompt had me for a second – I confused it with the one a little while ago that was book tiles that would make good band names. I like that this one is a little more open, so I’m going to have some fun with it! Bear with me here. Cos this could READ MORE

  This week’s topic is one I’m not entirely sure I have ten answers for! Mostly when I’m not reading I’m hanging out with my kid, because that’s pretty much the only thing in the world I love more than reading. There are, of course, lots of other things I do. Just not many that READ MORE

  So as most of you know, I am a complete wuss when it comes to horror or anything even remotely creepy. I do not do scary movies. If I accidentally end up embroiled in a scary form of entertainment I will literally turn on all the lights, check the closet and under the bed READ MORE

  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
