Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post, thanks to That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s prompt was a little open ended: Books I Bought/Borrowed Because… I love getting book recommendations from friends, and I’ve been introduced to many books that I would not have otherwise found because of recommendations, so it was a natural choice for me to give you some of the books that have been recommended to me over the years.
Some of these are quite recent recommendations (The Fireman’s Secret and Simply Starstruck), others are recommendations from years ago (Faro’s Daughter and Frenchman’s Creek). Some I’ve already read and enjoyed, others are sitting on my Kindle waiting for me to pick them up. And once again, it’s a rather eclectic list!
And my thanks go to Rel Mollet, Rachel McMillan, Amanda Stevens, Sarah Monzon, Nicole Santana, Jennifer Rodewald, Pepper Basham, and Ruth Minter, each of whom have not only contributed to this list but also continue to make my reading life (and life in general) so much richer! Keep the recommendations coming, ladies!

The Virginian brings back memories. A shame James Drury passed away recently. http://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/04/ttt-040720.html
I LOVED The Virginian. And I never would have picked a western, let alone found this one, without the recommendation.
I’ve heard so many good things about Mimi Matthews books!
My TTT .
They’re all true!
These are all new to me! It’s great when you can get recommendations from people and discover new books.
I’m so grateful for your blog! I’ve found so many amazing stories because of your wonderful reviews. 😊
Aw, thank you! ❤️
Sure is!
Good recommendations are one of my favorite things. I’m glad you got some that suited you!
I know Rel has talked about Siri’s books a lot, but I don’t think I’ve read any of her contemporary releases. Someday I should remedy this. 🙂
