That’s it for me this week! Which word did you choose this week? Anyone else choose the same one as me? Have you read any of these books? Can you think of any others with “life” in the title that you’d add to the list?
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly link-up feature created by The Broke and the Bookish and hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Every week TTT has a different topic, and everyone who links up has to create a link of ten items that fit that topic. To see past and upcoming topics, go here.
I love how we both use the same word, and Nina Hill is the only overlap! I tried reading Impossible Life earlier this year, and it was a struggle for me. But I hope you enjoy it.

That is fantastic! I thought it would have a lot of options, and I liked how varied they were! I had a bit of a hard time with Haig in the past – it was okay, but not great. I’m unsure as to whether I want to try this one…
Ooo this is a good list! I want to read My Mess is a Bit of a Life – and what a great title!

Thank you! I’ve read that one twice – it’s that good!
Great word pick! My TTT
Thank you!
What a great list! The Bookish Life of Nina Hill is still on my wish list. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks! It was a sweet read, not difficult to get into!
I read Samantha Irby’s Meaty a few years ago and laughed so hard at some of it! I really need to pick this one up, too.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Yeah, I found some of this one very funny as well!
I’m interested in the Matt Haig book, The Impossible Life, too. I enjoyed your list.

Yeah, I had mixed feelings about another of his books I read, but I think I might want to give him another try! Thank you!
What a great word choice, especially for spring, when the world is so full of new life! I see a lot of books here I need to add to my TBR!
Thank you! Yes, it’s definitely timely. Glad I added some to your TBR as well!
