Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books
that Surprised Me (in a good or bad way). I last did this topic in 2021 and you can see my post here. I might be able to come up with 10 again, but I am not feeling the topic. I am going to take a page out of Pam's book (Read!Create!Bake!) and do titles that start with a letter. I am going to do "B," A is here. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and you can head over there to see what our other bookish friends are up to today.
Ten books on my PHYSICAL shelves that I am might (should) going to read soonish that start with "B":
 |
| Bittersweet by Cathy Marie Hake-Historical Fiction |
 |
| Beyond a Doubt by Colleen Coble-Suspense |
 |
| Blue Bottle Club by Penelope J. Stokes-Historical Fiction |
 |
| By the Light of the Silvery Moon by Tricia Goyer-Historical Fiction |
 |
| The Butterfly and the Violin by Kristy Cambron-Historical Fiction |
 |
| The Bronte Plot by Katherine Reay-Contemporary |
 |
| The Beloved Hope Chest by Amy Clipston-Amish-Contemporary |
 |
| Before We Were Yours by Lisa Wingate-Historical Fiction |
 |
| Between You and Us by Kendra Broekhuis-Contemporary-Magical Realism (uh-oh!)-not my typical genre. |
 |
| Between the Sound and Sea by Amanda Cox-Contemporary-I thought it was historical fiction. |
So, what I learned from this list is that I have a LOT of historical fiction that still needs to be read, and that historical fiction authors like to start their book title's with "b." I also realized I hadn't read some of these because I thought they were different genres. I have not been reading as much historical fiction lately, but obviously have quite a bit I need to get read.Have you read any of these? What topic did you go with this week? I would love for you to share in the comments. To see what other topics our bookish friends are doing this week click on the image below.
Before We Were Yours was a good read.
ReplyDeleteLydia, thanks, I have had it on my bookshelf forever, I really need to read it.
DeleteBetween the Sound and Sea is SO good! My TTT
ReplyDeleteCarrie, I am sure it is :)
DeleteNice list, Cindy. It's fun to peek into our TBR list every once in a while to recall what we have. I think I have some Coble books here. Always a good read. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCheryl, I think I have read the Colleen Coble book before I was keeping up with them on Goodreads, so I will read it again, just to be sure, LOL!
DeleteI’ve read four out of your list. Kristy’s, Amanda, Katherine’s, and Before We Were Yours. It was my favorite book the year it released.
ReplyDeleteThat's good to know :)
DeleteBefore We Were Yours is one of those books which caused me to do a lot of outside research. I can't believe the deviousness of some people. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteAnne, I hear you.
DeleteThe Bronte Plot was good (from what I remember) and I had Bittersweet at some point. Though I haven't a clue if I read it or not. ;) Thanks a bunch for visiting my list!
ReplyDeleteRissi, I have enjoyed other books by Katherine Reay, so I am hopeful!
DeleteSuch a great list! I hope you enjoy reading all of these when you get the chance.

Thanks Pam!
DeleteI remember reading Blue Bottle Club long ago (2002---I looked it up). It was a popular choice among my book friends on the social media of the time (mostly listserves!)
ReplyDeleteDeb, oh wow! I got it at a used bookstore, but had no idea it had been popular once upon a time.
DeleteI loved Before We Were Yours! I was surprised to learn the villain, Georgia Tann, grew up in a small town about ten miles from me. She was so evil! Great list!
ReplyDeleteStephanie, LOL, that would make it memorable!
DeleteI hope you can get to them all soon!
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you.
Thanks Aymee, I am sure I could if I didn't keep checking out library books, LOL!
DeleteI've heard good things about Before We Were Yours but I haven't read it. I hope it lives up to expectations when you read it!
ReplyDeleteThanks Haze!
