Top Ten Tuesday – Things That Make Me Instantly Want To Read A Book

This was such a fun prompt that I knew I had to do it. So welcome to a new Top Ten Tuesday! This week I’m talking about what makes me want to read a book instantly. Some of these will be more generalised, and you’ll find them on other people’s lists too. But some of them are pretty specific to me.

The Top Ten Tuesday tag was initially created by The Broke and the Bookish and is now held over on The Artsy Reader Girl. It’s a weekly tag where everyone is given a bookish prompt for bloggers to curate a top ten list. You can then share your blog post on The Artsy Reader Girl’s post for that week. Just remember to check out and comment on other people’s blog posts too!

So let’s get into this list!

Top Ten Tuesday – Things Getting In The Way of Reading

Top Ten Tuesday – Things Getting In The Way of Reading

I know my posting has been choppy recently, and there are both reading and non-reading reasons for this. The reading reason was that I basically had a ton of review copies to get through, and I had to read them to post about them. So when I slowed down or had books to focus on for insta…yeah, that did, unfortunately, slow my posting down.

But now I’m back, and seeing as this week’s Top Ten Tuesday was a list of reasons you’ve not been reading…I thought this sounded like a good starting point, ha! There won’t be ten reasons on here, as I don’t want to go into the minutiae of housework and job hunting, but a few things have distracted me.

Top Ten Tuesday – Favourite Ensemble Stars Songs (Non-Bookish Freebie)

Ahhh Top Ten Tuesday is always a favourite, and this week we have a non-bookish freebie. Since my blog is likely going to become a lot of reviewers one after the other for the next couple of weeks, I decided to take advantage of this. I’ve talked a lot about Ensemble Stars, I’ve even recommended a few songs.

So I decided to post a top ten list of all my favourites. And no, this wasn’t easy!

Top Ten Tuesday: Favourite Heroines

I’m doing a Top Ten Tuesday two weeks in a row! Bookish tags are great when you’re low on ideas but still feel excited to talk about books. When I saw what the theme for this week was while writing up last week, I knew I had to do this too. I love reading books with great heroines, so I’m excited to list some of my favourites for you all!

Top Ten Tuesday: Valentines Day

Valentine’s Day is here! It’s not a holiday I feel particularly excited about, but I don’t dread it either. For many of us, it’s just another day. But as someone who loves to read about romance, I couldn’t let this opportunity to list some of my favourite chick-lit and romance books go to waste! With the holiday, this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is a freebie to list anything we like regarding books and love.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Fall 2022 To-Read List

Top Ten Tuesday: Books On My Fall 2022 To-Read List

I thought I’d take advantage of this Top Ten Tuesday as I wanted to post a spooky or autumn TBR post sometime soon anyway! I’m not much of a seasonal reader but over the last year I’ve picked up a few good horror, thriller and mystery novels and I want to get to them. I thought this season would be a great opportunity to finally do so.

Top Ten Tuesday: Hilarious Book Titles

Top Ten Tuesday: Hilarious Book Titles

You might have noticed that posts from me recently have been a little sporadic again. A book slump combined with working has slowed me down a little, but I’m working on it. Fortunately, this week’s Top Ten Tuesday tickled my fancy haha!

This week we’re to share ten hilarious book titles. I haven’t read all these books, but they are all scattered across my house. Some belong to my sister, some to me. Honestly, I probably could’ve just gone through a list of light novels for this one. They have some ridiculous titles. Some of these might not be laugh-out-loud funny, but they do make me grin whenever I see them. I’m just going to list the titles this time as for some of them, that’s literally all I know. But the titles are random enough that if you’re curious, you should easily be able to give them a search. So let’s do this!

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Merchandise I’d Love To Own

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Merchandise I’d Love To Own

I wasn’t necessarily planning on doing another one of these posts for a while, but when I saw the prompt, I couldn’t resist. So, this won’t be a traditional Top Ten Tuesday post for me. If I wanted to, I could just list fandoms I want to see merch for or types of merch I’d love to see more of. I could even scour the internet and find specific items.

But I wanted to do something more fun.

I’m going to mention a few specific types of merch I’d like to see for particular fandoms. I can’t make them myself, but who knows? Maybe this will spark some of your imaginations.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books With An Adjective In The Title

Top Ten Tuesday: Books With An Adjective In The Title

We’re here with another Top Ten Tuesday! My posting schedule this week is a bit of a mess, so I thought, why not write another one of these posts? It’s a lot of fun to go through my bookshelves to find ten books that I want to list. This time I won’t go into detail about the books, as the theme for the week is just talking about book titles!

For those of you who don’t remember your English classes from school, an adjective is a describing word. These come in many forms, and they can definitely add colour to a book title. Or make them something people make fun of. Both work.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Enjoyed, but Have Never Mentioned On My Blog

I couldn’t resist doing a tag where I talk about some of my slightly more obscure favourite books. Admittedly, I have included a few more well-known titles too, as I haven’t spoken about them before This was a pretty fun list to pull together, and I obviously highly recommend all these books. So if any of them grab your interest – let me know! I’d be happy to see others read them.
