Happy Tuesday, reading friends, and welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. Apparently today is Mardi Gras, or would be if it weren’t for that C-word we didn’t even know existed until a little over twelve months ago. I’m all the way Down Under, so I have no idea whether Mardi Gras is going ahead, but in honour/memoriam of Mardi Gras, today’s TTT topic is Purple, Yellow, and/or Green Book Covers. It’s summer here in Australia and I’m wearing a yellow top, so that seems a perfectly reasonable reason to go with a yellow cover theme for today’s post. And so I give you my expertly curated selection of yellow-covered novels. (In other words, I scrolled through my Kindle library and picked the first ten yellow covers I came across. 😂)

Happy Tuesday, reading friends, and welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Books Written Before I Was Born, and I’ve decided to do a TBR take on the topic. For the purposes of this post, let’s just say I’m a child of the late-seventies and leave it at that. 😉 All of the books I’ve listed below were written well before that time anyway, so the precise year of my birth doesn’t matter.

As I’ve made it one of my goals to read more Shakespeare this year, I could have been boring and just listed ten of his plays, but I also have a long list of classics that I want to read (I often have a classic on the go at the same time as a modern novel), so it wasn’t too difficult to come up with my ten this week. And most of them are fairly well-known novels, so I’d love to know if you’ve read any of them!
