I don’t read that many series, so this is a hard one for me. Made even harder by the fact that I don’t always want more books from the series I do read. So I’ll do my best, but some of these might be a bit of a stretch! READ MORE

TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I LOVE THAT WERE PUBLISHED 10+ YEARS AGO
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
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOK TITLES THAT MADE ME CURIOUS
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
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS ON PAST SEASONAL TBRS I HAVE ACTUALLY READ
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
TOP TEN TUESDAY | FREEBIE: BOOKS ON REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS (ROE V. WADE)
I’ve done lists of feminist books I recommend and/or want to read before (here), but never has such a list felt so important. With the reversal of Roe v. Wade in the US and the subsequent domino fall of reproductive rights across various states in the US, it feels like the entire world has READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOK COVERS THAT FEEL LIKE SUMMER
This is going to be a fun one! I’m not a fan of summer, but I do like the idea of summer. So summery book covers are appealing! READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | MOST ANTICIPATED BOOK RELEASES OF 2ND HALF 2022
I am not at all up to date on the books that are coming out, I’m not even up on the books that have already come out, so excuse me for a few minutes while I consult Google. Okay, I’m back. Here’s what I found. July August READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS ON MY SUMMER 2022 TBR
This is, as you all know by now, a ridiculous prompt for me. I do not stick to TBRs. Like, ever. With one exception: judging The BookTube Prize. So these are the books I still need to read for this round that I absolutely will finish by the end of July: READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | TOP TEN BOOKS I’D LIKE TO OWN
This prompt is a hard one, because I’ve really been trying to spend less time on BookTube, and to add less books to my TBR lists or my shelves due to seeing them reviewed on BookTube unless they look like books that will 100% be ones I’ll want to read, and want to read READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I WISH HAD AN EPILOGUE (OR A SEQUEL)
I don’t really dwell that much on what happens after books end, because rarely do the ones I wonder about get any kind of sequel. So I had to really think about this one. There are definitely some books that, if I had any say, would have sequels (or even just a quick resolution READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS WITH A UNIT OF TIME IN THE TITLE
This one threw me at first. I’ve got to be honest, I’ve never actually noticed how many books do have a unit of time (minute, hour, day, year) in the title. There are surprisingly quite a few just in the images saved to my blog! So here are the ones I could (lazily find) READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | COMFORT READS
This is a great prompt. I love reading for comfort, and I have so many books that are like old friends I can return to anytime I want, particularly when life is feeling dreary, doom-laden or just plan boring. Here are some of my favourite comfort reads! READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | QUOTES ABOUT FEMINISM
I’ve done a bunch of book quote posts – quotes about reading, quotes with swearing, quotes about race, Oscar Wilde quotes – so I figured I’d tackle a new area of quotes and do another theme that’s important to me – feminism. So here are some quotes on feminism I loved from books. “I READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I WAS SO EXCITED TO READ BUT STILL HAVEN’T
This prompt describes like 90% of the books on my bookshelves and TBR lists. I get so excited about all the new books coming out by authors I loved, books on book prize lists, books people tell me about, books on most anticipated lists and books on any topics I am particularly interested in. READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKISH CHARACTERS
I love bookish characters. They’re some of my favourite people. I particularly like finding them in books. Here are a few of my favourites, real and imaginary. Aziraphale from Good Omens was the first one who came to mind when I saw this prompt. I loved READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | ONE WORD REVIEWS FOR THE LAST 10 BOOKS I READ
Now I’m writing this well in advance partly because I usually do, but also because I’m currently reading books for the BookTube Prize and I can’t talk about what I think of any of these books until I’ve submitted my rankings and the judging for the Quarterfinals round is over on May 30th. So READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS WITH BOOKS AND/OR READERS ON THE COVER
This week’s prompt allowed us to choose a particular thing or theme often found on book covers (or less often if you’re in for a challenge). I love books about books, and anything to do with books always catches my attention. So obviously books that have books or people reading on the cover are READ MORE
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKISH STUFF I’D LIKE
This is a fairly easy one! There’s always a ton of bookish stuff out there that’s super cute and that I immediately want to add to my clutter. An Ideal Bookshelf Print. I’ve got the book and really enjoy losing myself in the art that celebrates books. Lovely. I love reading socks. READ MORE
