Top Ten Tuesday- Books I would take on a Desert Island

Welcome back! As always Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme where bloggers post lists based on a prompt. I am having such a fun time with these and I don't think I will stop doing them. Our host is Jana@thatartsyreadergirl. Today's topic is inspirational or thought-provoking book quotes. I don't really use book quotes all that much, and I know that I should more. Today, I have changed the topic to Books I would take on a Desert Island. This was a post I found on brokeandbookish. I am only posting physical books that I have as I am sure that the island will not have wifi for Kindle.


1- Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell

I know I can hear your sighs from here. There is no way that I could go a desert island without my favorite YA book.



2- Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief by Rick Riordan

I was not an active book blogger back in 2017. I binge read this series as an adult and I loved it so much! I would need this book here as I love this Middle Grade series. The world is great and I love it. 

3- Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee

I've talked about this on the blog before but I would bring this. I  would need this as it is such a fun YA novel.

4- Madeline and the Bad Hat by Ludwig Bemelmans

When I was a child I was obsessed with Madeline. It all started with my grandmother and I loved all these stories so much. This particular one is great because it has the character of  Pepito. This story is a joy and I love how developed it is. I would need this because it is such childhood nostalgia  for me. 

5- The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee

This is a historical fiction that I love so much. Felicity is a fantastic character with so much depth and I was so here for it. I would need it because I need a break from the YA and the childhood nostalgia. 

6- A Court of Wing and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas

I raved about this series last week. This is my favorite book of this series  as it has a lot of plots, character development, and world that draws you in and makes you want to keep reading.

7- After Anatevka by Alexandra Silber

I know that I talked about this book a lot. I discussed this novel in  a previous post but I just love this novel a lot. Historical Fiction is one of my main genre's and I love it so much. This novel is charming and has so much heart. 

8-  All I Know Now by Carrie Hope Fletcher

This is a memoir and  I would need a break with all of these heavy duty books. The book is part memoir and part life advice from Carrie and I was so here for the vibes in this.

9- White Hot Grief Parade by Alexandra Silber

This is  her memoir, and I loved this book so much. I would need it because of all the heavy books I have on this list. This is another heavy book, but it has a lot of wit and heart dished in. 

10-  Heart of Iron by Ashley Poston

I loved this book in 2018! This is an Anastasia retelling set in space  and I just ate this book up. I will have to read it again this  summer because the sequel comes out in July.

    I always like this desert island topic! I find myself wanting to do it over and over haha. Always with different books naturally. :)

    Fangirl is a great choice, and I haven't read the Percy Jackson books but they seem like they'd be perfect!

    Ooooh fun topic. I love that you picked Court of Wings and Ruin because it's probably the one that people were most disappointed in but I adored it and have no idea what people are talking about lol so good!

    Great picks! I always think I have an idea of what books I'd want to keep with me no matter what, i.e., on a desert island, but I feel like I can't pick! Haha!

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
