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-I want to read them all right now! (just the tip of the iceberg, I have more I want to read right now 😂)
Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well.

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. The ones I have read are linked to my review, just click on the image if you want to see my thoughts on the book.

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.

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books You’d be a Fool Not to Read (Happy April Fool’s Day! In honor of this silly holiday, share the books you think people must read for whatever reason. They could be your favorites, books you deem classics, books that you learned something important from, books you wish you’d read sooner, etc. You could even narrow it down to a specific genre and share the must-reads for that genre. Get creative!) I went back and found the last ten books that I gave five stars to to come up with my list.

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books I DNFed for whatever reason.

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books that Include/Feature [insert your favorite theme or plot device here] (for example: unreliable narrators, coming of age, darkness vs. light, time travel, metafiction, a specific romantic trope, good vs. evil. cliffhangers, flashbacks, plot twists, red herrings, loose ends, stories within stories, meet cutes, symbolism, etc.) (submitted by Alice @ The Wallflower Digest) I really enjoy the Marriage of Convenience trope, so that is what I am going to share about today.

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Things Characters Have Said. While this is a cool topic, I don't track things characters say, so it would be difficult for me to come up with a post. So, since my TBR is ALWAYS growing, I decided to post the last ten books I have added to my "want to read" list on Goodreads (currently 763 just on this list).

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books Set in Another Time (These can be historical, futuristic, alternate universes, or even in a world where you’re not sure when it takes place you just know it’s not right now.) I really don't read books that are alternate universes, or futuristic, but I do read Historical fiction, so I will focus on ten historical fiction books I own that I still need to read.

Happy Tuesday my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is: Books I Never Reviewed (Share the titles of books you never reviewed on your blog/tiktok/insta/etc. and if you liked them or not!) Since I have started blogging I have reviewed all the books I have read. If I have not put them on my blog it's because they were either DNFs or books rated lower than 3 stars and I didn't like them. I don't think that list would be very interesting, nor worth spending time on, so I am going to go a different direction today. I am going to share my top ten nonfiction book from 2024.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 is: Love Freebie. I have been gathering books (from my shelves, Kindle, and the library) to read for Valentine's day, so I thought it would be perfect to do a Valentine's post. Not all the books are about Valentine's day, just ones I thought would be good to read this month.
