Top Ten Tuesday-Chunkster Books

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic isBooks with a High Page Count (Share those doorstop books!) I think "high" page count is subjective, so I am going to go with 400+ pages as those are books that count toward the "Big Book Challenge" and the limit of what some of my book club members will read for our meetings. So, let's see what I come up with today, I know I don't read as many chunkster books as I used to. I did not include anthologies or Bibles in my list. 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-Chunkster books I have read and enjoyed

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell 521 pages 3-star read-not sure I should say I "enjoyed" this one or not.

Top Ten Tuesday-No book slump here

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic isBooks Guaranteed to Put an End to Your Book Slump (Which books would you recommend to someone (it’s me, I’m someone) dealing with the dreaded book slump? No book is grabbing their attention or making them excited to sit down and read and they are suffering for it.) I can't guarantee that these books would get everyone out of a book slump, but these are books that would get me out of a book slump. I was originally going to just go with romcoms, but I decided to be a bit more versatile. The thing they all have in common: the stories stuck with me. 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-Children's book edition

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic isGenre freebie (Pick any genre you’d like and build a list around it. You can even narrow the topic if you’d like, such as: thrillers with unreliable narrators, fantasy romance with fae characters, or historical romance with suspense elements.) For those who might not know, I started a new nanny position at the end of June. The girls are 22 months and 5 months old. Well, thankfully, the toddler LOVES reading, so today I am going to share the books I read on repeat! 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.

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic isBeach/Beachy Reads (Share books you’d take to the beach OR books that take place at the beach.)

 Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic isBooks 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!

Top Ten Tuesday-Books with Honorifics in the Title

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books with Honorifics in the Title (“…an honorific is a form of address conveying esteem, courtesy or respect. These can be titles prefixing a person’s name, e.g.: Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms., Mx., Sir, Dame, Dr., Cllr, Lady, or Lord, or other titles or positions that can appear as a form of address without the person’s name, as in Mr. President, General, Captain, Father, Doctor, or Earl.” For more info, click here.) (Submitted by Joanne @Portobello Book Blog) This sounds like a fun topic and I am curious to see what I can come up with. I don't think I read a lot of books with titles, but we will see! 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-Unforgettable books to read again

 Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books I’d Like to Re-read (Share either your favorite books that you enjoy re-reading or books that you’d like to read again!) (Submitted by Becky @ Becky’s Book Blog) I am not a huge rereader, but I am finding more and more books that I do want to re-read, so maybe it is growing on me. In order for me to want to read a book again, it has to make an impression, a book that is unforgettable. So, this is a list of unforgettable books that I would love to read again. 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-Wishing and Hoping

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Bookish Wishes  Like most of you, I have a never ending list of books I want to read, but I have a smaller list of books that I would like to own. As I've gotten older, the list continues to get smaller. I used to want to own every book, now I only want favorites, or books that I can't get at my library. 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-Summer Vibes

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Summer Freebie (Pick any topic you can think of that fits into the category of “summer”. If it’s winter where you are, switch it up!) I decided to go with book covers that give off summer vibes. I went back to books that I physically own, either a paperback or on Kindle, this way reminding myself of the books I still need to read. And, trying not to share the same books all the time, LOL!  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-I want to read them all

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Ways in Which My Blogging/Review Style Has Changed Over Time (submitted by Susan @ Bloggin’ ’bout Books). My answer: my font has gotten larger, and I occasionally do more of a list type review, other than that, my review style has not changed, so it would be pretty boring and impossible to come up with 10 ways my blogging style has changed. Instead, I am going to share ALL the books I am currently wanting to read, and either have downloaded to my kindle, have out from the library,  or own. 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-I want to read them all right now! (just the tip of the iceberg, I have more I want to read right now 😂)

 
I checked The Goodbye Bride by Denise Hunter out from the library and then realized I have book #3 Just a Kiss on my physical shelf, so I want to read them both to finish this series.

Top Ten Tuesday-Which "road" will you read?

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books with the Word “[Insert Word Here]” in the Title (Choose a word and find ten books with that word in the title.) I decided to go with the word "road" for today. I am spending a lot of time on the road looking for a new house, and traveling about, so it seemed fitting.

Top Ten Tuesday- "B" Book titles

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.
