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!

Happy Tuesday, reading friends! It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week’s topic is New-To-Me Authors I Read in 2020. When I went back through my Goodreads list, I discovered I could actually do almost three lists this week—that’s how many new-to-me authors I read in 2020! So I’ve decided to give you a two-for-one deal today. I’m giving you a list of ten Christian fiction authors who were new to me in 2020 AND a list of general market authors who were new to me in 2020.

Some of these authors have been around for many years, and I decided to finally see what all the fuss was about, others are as new to everyone else as they are to me, and others are somewhere in between. I wonder whether I will manage as many new-to-me authors in 2021!

Happy Tuesday, reading friends! It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Books I Meant to Read in 2020 but Didn’t Get To. Considering we moved out of our old home in December 2019, knocked it down and rebuilt over the first half of 2020 and moved into our beautiful new home in August of 2020, it was more a case of “Books I Wish I’d Had Time to Read but Knew There Was No Chance,” but why split hairs? The result is the same.

So, here are ten books I really wish I’d had time to fit into my reading schedule last year. I wonder how many of them I’ll manage to fit in to this year’s reading.
