Top Ten Tuesday-Fall TBR 2023 1.5

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books on My Fall 2023 To-Read List. This is probably one of the easiest lists we make all year.

I am going to take a page out of other blogger's books and make at least two parts to my Fall TBR list. I already made a September TBR list here, it should technically be part one, LOL. I have read or DNFed 4/10 books from that list. Here is part 1.5:

Top Ten Tuesday-Couples

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books with [__] on the cover. I wasn't sure what I wanted to do today's topic on. I started looking through the books I physically own and decided to feature couples. Out of 158 books only 13 had couples on them... and I'm not entirely sure one of them counts...I will let you decide 😂 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. 

Books I own that I still need to read with couples on them:

Stacking the Shelves #13, Sunday Post #10, Sunday Salon #5

Summer Dayz

 As we enjoy the last few days of the summer season I decided to honor the end of this season with a tribute of books. What better way for book lover to recognize the end of a season, right?! Summer has been good to me but I did not actually read any books with summer in the title this year (did you?!).

Here are a few books I have read that have summer in the title:

Top Ten Tuesday-Numbers in the title

Happy Tuesday, friends! Today I am excited to be doing another link-up with top ten Tuesday. Today the topic is books that have numbers in the title. My first thought is that I don't really read books with numbers in them. Then I thought it would be too hard and almost switched the topic. However, I decided to look at the books in my house, my TBR list on Goodreads, and my books on Kindle to see what I had. It actually ended up being way easier than I thought! I decided I would try to showcase some that might be a little lesser known. For more fun with books that have numbers in the title or other people's take on today's topic check out That Artsy Reader Girl. 

Here are ten fiction books that I have not read yet with numbers in the title:
