Happy Tuesday, reading friends. It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt is Super Long Book Titles, and I admit I had some help from Goodreads Lists for this one! I’ve read a few of the titles on my list, but the rest are books I’d never even heard of until I went looking for books with super long titles! I’m curious to read some of them now, though, so let me know if you’ve read any of these and enjoyed them. (I’ve read The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day, The Secret Life of Sarah Hollenbeck, and The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Parade).

Happy Tuesday, reading friends. It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. This week we’re featuring covers that have fall/autumn colours or vibes, or in my case, spring colours/vibes, since I live in the southern hemisphere.

When I started browsing through the covers of all the books on my Kindle, I didn’t have a specific idea of what I was looking for, but it wasn’t long before I worked out that certain tones of blue and green say spring to me. Here in Australia, it’s green grass and blue skies, but without the extreme heat that characterises our summers (and often turns the grass a golden-wheat colour). Hence, you’ll find lots of these covers feature greenery, a certain hue of blue in the sky, and perhaps just a hint of a breeze. Ah, spring!

Happy Tuesday, reading friends. It’s time for Top Ten Tuesday, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt was Favourite Book Quotes.

One of my favourite features of Kindle reading is the ability to highlight my favourite quotes, so my problem this week wasn’t so much finding quotes as it was narrowing down my selection! There are all kinds of reasons why a sentence or a paragraph might grab my attention, but one of my favourite literary devices is metaphor. I love the way it enables you to convey so much more than a literal description might, and often in far fewer words. 

So here are ten favourites.

Metaphors be with you!

Happy Tuesday, reading friends. It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt is pretty simple: We’re getting excited for our spring/autumn TBRs. (My love of making book lists is second only to actually reading them, so I always have a ton of books to choose from!)

To help narrow my selections down (because you all realise I will be reading a lot more than ten books over the next three months, right?), I’m listing ten new/upcoming releases that have caught my eye. 

Happy Tuesday, reading friends. It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week’s prompt is a cover freebie, which left me stumped for quite some time…until I thought about some of the, shall we say, not-so-classic covers I’ve seen for Kindle editions of classic novels. I don’t mind telling you I’ve let out a snort or two while putting together today’s post, because some of these covers are just…well, I’ll let you decide for yourself! 

Happy Tuesday, reading friends. It’s time for another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl, and this week’s prompt is Books for My Younger Self. I’ve decided to give you ten children’s classics that I haven’t read (*gasp*), including two Australian classics, and I’d love to know which of these you have or haven’t read yourself. Have I neglected one of your favourites?

After a long break while we moved home, I’m finally getting back in the swing of things around here again! This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl, is a foodie-themed prompt. Technically, it’s Books That Make Me Hungry, but I stopped at front covers! I didn’t want to overwork myself after all that moving. 😉

So this week, I’m featuring covers that have food or drinks pictured on the cover. And I was surprised that there were far fewer covers in my collection than I expected. But I think I’ve come up with a nice selection of tastes to stimulate your taste buds, so I’d love to know which cover appeals to you most based on the food or drink pictured. I’m having trouble deciding between that bowl of strawberries and the pie on the last cover. Mmm-mm! Have a great week!

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s top ten prompt is Authors I’ve Read the Most Books By, which had me thinking back to some of the series I enjoyed as a kid as well as some of my favourite authors today. Of course, it helps if you’re a prolific author, like some of the authors in my list, and it probably comes as no real surprise that some of these authors are still favourites today! As long as they keep writing, I’ll keep reading them!
