Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Could Re-Read Forever

Happy Tuesday, book lovers! Are you a re-reader? I am, although I confess I don’t have as much time for re-reading as I would like to. There are so many great books releasing all the time it’s hard enough to keep up with them, let alone re-reading my favourites as well. Nevertheless, there are some books that I have re-read numerous times, and there are others that I know I would re-read numerous times if I had more hours in my day.

Top Ten Tuesday – Books That Have Been on My TBR the Longest

Welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday, brought to you by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Books That Have Been on My TBR the Longest. In my world, that probably translates to Books That Have Been on My TBR So Long I’ve Forgotten They’re Even There, which makes it slightly difficult to create a list, but I’ve been giving it some heavy thought, trawling through the bowels of my book memory (not to mention my Kindle!) and here’s what I’ve come up with:

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Can't Believe I Haven't Read

Happy Tuesday, book lovers! I’ve actually turned today’s Top Ten Tuesday topic on its head. Today’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is actually Books I Can’t Believe I Read, but it turns out I can’t think of many books that fit that category (without being nasty, anyway) so I decided to do a Books I Can’t Believe I Haven’t Read instead. So, here goes:   These three novels would have to classify as stalwarts of the Christian fiction genre, and I confess, I’ve not read any of them. 😱 In the case of Janette Oke, I have to go a step further and say

Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Need to Read Again

Hello, book lovers! Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday brought to you by That Artsy Read Girl. Today’s official topic is Books I Really Liked But Can’t Remember Anything/Much About. In my world, that translates to Books I Really Need to Read Again, hence my tweaking of the topic today. And if I was going to give today’s topic a subtitle, it would be Hurrah for Goodreads! 😃 I mean, this topic is like saying, “Quick, tell me all the things you’ve forgotten.” 😵 So, yeah. Goodreads to the rescue!
