Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books Set in/Take Place During X (Pick a place, time, era, etc. Examples: Books set in Europe/Italy/Australia/Chicago, books set in Regency England, books that take place during the 1900s, books set in imaginary worlds/post-apocalyptic/dystopian worlds, books set on the ocean, books set it castles, books that take place during WW2, etc.) I am struggling! I can't think of anything that will get me to 10 books...so we are going into my world, where I list the last 10 books I gave 5-stars to! 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.
Top Ten Tuesday-Cindy's World where we explore her last 10 Five-star books:
WE are going to cheat in Cindy's world and list The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion by Beth Brower, Volumes 1-8 as one book!! The first book was my least favorite, but the series MUST be read in order. I am on the final book and will be inconsolable when I don't have another one to read 😂.
Clicking on the cover of the book will take you to my review. Have you read any of these? What topic did you do today?
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.

I enjoy very much seeing which books people love reading.
ReplyDeleteDeb, so do I! I am forever adding books to my TBR, I have only looked at one post and have already added a book, LOL!
DeleteNice choices, Cindy! Love how you figured out a way to make today's topic work for you. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Regine!
DeleteThanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, thanks for stopping by!
DeleteCindy's world is definitely a fun place to read! I just put The Double Play on hold at my library and I can't wait for it to come in. :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Lark, I really appreciate your encouragement! I hope you enjoy it :)
DeleteI like the sound of The Unselected Journals! Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
ReplyDeletePoinsettia, if you enjoy historical fiction, you must try The Unselected Journals, they are true gems!
DeleteEXCELLENT picks! Worthy of the 5 stars :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Carrie!
DeleteI loved reading Everything's Coming Up Rosie! I would love to find a place like that to live and work.

Pam, I had the exact same thought when I read it! It was such an inspiring read.
DeleteI haven't read any of these but love the title Everything's Coming Up Rosie. It has me singing 😁
ReplyDeleteJoanne, it was such a good book!
DeleteI enjoy reading through lists of 5-star book lists. What I think is funny is when I clearly say I don't like a book in a review and someone, who clearly didn't read closely, comments how wonderful the book sounds. Ha! I haven't read any of your recent favs but will keep this list close!
ReplyDeleteAnne, so true!
DeleteI love it, a new world to explore!
ReplyDeleteEmma, LOL, right?!
DeleteI totally get struggling with those Top Ten Tuesday topics, so your "Cindy's World" version is brilliant! Cheating with the Emma M. Lion series is totally allowed when they're that good – good luck with that last one, I know that feeling. Your list has some really interesting titles; I haven't read any of these yet, but I'm adding a few to my TBR now.

DeleteI haven't read any of these. They look like good reads.
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne.
DeleteI haven't read any of these but some of them definitely look interesting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marg!
DeleteGreat category, Cindy. The cover of Turtles in the Road is so cute!
ReplyDeleteThanks Olivia!
DeleteSo many great choices!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hena!
DeleteI like your take on this topic! I'm still very interested in Turtles in the Road–I'll have to read that at some point! I really want to read First Love Second Draft too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Karis, I hope you enjoy them when you read them!
DeleteBeautiful blog
ReplyDeletePlease read my post
ReplyDeleteI love that you went with Cindy's World, that is absolute genius! 😂
ReplyDeleteHaze, LOL or lazy!!
DeleteI enjoy Sara Brunsvold, Pepper Basham and Courtney Walsh, so it's great to see them on this list of 5 star books. Nice list, Cindy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Carla :)
DeleteOh Jennie Allen! Love her work, her witness, her words, Cindy.
