Top Ten Tuesday - books I won’t let anyone touch because I might never get them back or the edition


Hello! Today is Tuesday, so it is time once again for one of my favorite bookish memes Top Ten Tuesday! Our host is Jana at thatartsyreadergirl. This week the topic was Books I won't let anyone touch. I took this as books I won't let anyone touch because of the edition I own, or it's a favorite  that I fear I would not get back.

1- Mary Poppins

I have not read this book yet but it's  on the tbr for next month. I have a nice Barnes and Noble illustrated edition. The cover is stunning and if someone touches the book, I fear I will not get the book back.

2- A Court of Mist and Fury

This is the third book in A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas. I love this book and it is my favorite of the series so far.

3- Little House on the Prairie

I read these as a kid and I loved them so much. My full edition is from Barnes and Nobel and it has pretty gold pages. Again, I fear that if someone touches this book I will not get it back.

4- A Little Princess

The cover of the B&N Edition is so cute and pink. They also use purple for the characters and the text. I have not read this classic book, but I plan on reading it this year as I think I will love it. The pages are gold foil with white pages and black text.

5- Romanov

I am in the middle of this Historical Fiction. I love the cover and the story as a whole. If someone touches this book I fear that I will never get it back.

6- Fangirl

This is my favorite YA contemporary and so it needed to make this list. I love the pink cover and Cath and Levi on it.

7- After Anatevka

As a fan of Fiddler on The Roof I knew it would need this sequel written by one of my favorite Broadway actresses. This is one of my favorite Historical Fictions and like the rest of these, I would not get the book back. 

8- A Little Bit Wicked

So there is a bit of story about this book. Kristin Chenoweth, who is one of my favorite Broadway actresses ever, wrote this memoir. She did a signing in Philly or New Jersey, and I was in tech week or had a show so I couldn't go see her. My dad went, and Kristin Chenoweth sighed the book, and wished the cast luck. I was freaking out and the whole cast I told was freaking out.

9- Jane Austen -Four Novels

I have a thick book of four Jane Austen books. This is a book I have only read one story of, and I won't let anyone touch it for fear of not getting the book back.

10- Les Miserables

I spent roughly two years of my life reading this book. Not only is this my favorite musical, I just love the story. I will let no one touch it because I might not get it back.

    You are probably right. People wouldn't bring back these beautiful books!

    That edition of the Little House on the Prairie series sounds amazing.

    My TTT.

    It makes sense that you wouldn't want people to touch your beautifully illustrated books. For all that they're (mostly) replaceable, physical books are still so fragile!

    Happy TTT!

    I have this huge Jane Austen book with all her novels in it. It's so heavy, I could probably use it as a weapon if I had to. I never read Les Miserables, but you reading it over a span of two years does not surprise me at all. It's so thick!

    I love the Barnes and Noble exclusive editions, they are gorgeous! I got Romanov as an e-book arc but it would be cool to own the finished copy. Great list!

    If I had collectible editions, I definitely wouldn't want anyone to touch those.

The Sunday Post!

Welcome back! Today I am taking part in the weekly memes  The Sunday Post hosted by caffeinatedbookreviewer and Stacking The Shelves hosted by .tyngasreviews . I have had a great time coming up with the updates for these posts in the last few weeks and so I will keep doing them. Life This week was crazy for me because I had a a work blog due. While I enjoyed doing the post, it was more research than I had allotted for, so I just needed to spend more time on the blog than normal. Other than that it was an easy week. I got some read in and I got a new chapter up for my fanfic. Yesterday, we spent a lot of time in the backyard and shoveling stone for the yard. Read I just finished China Rich Girlfriend earlier today! All For One Alex &Eliza #3 is still so much fun and I think it is my favorite book of the trilogy still. Currently, I am on page 184/391 I read some The Princess and the Fangirl and I am 50% done. Rather than pushing it for the next few days, I deci...

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  ...

The Sunday Post!

Welcome back! Today I will link up to  The Sunday Post  hosted by  /caffeinatedbookreviewer  and Stacking the Shelves hosted by  tyngasreviews . Life This week was busier than usual because I ended up going to Peter Pan Jr rehearsals in the afternoon so I could  work with the music cues. The show opens this coming Friday, and this week is Tech Week, which is a four days where the cast will be able to work with lights, sound, mics, costumes, makeup, and basically run the show and get notes. The cast is 3rd-8th graders. I've been helping for years and I love it, although because I love Peter Pan, I have a soft spot for this show in particular. Other than that it was a relaxing week. Read I started Rich People Problems by  Kevin Kwan on Monday. I am 21% done, and I already love this book. I might not love it as much as I loved China Rich Girlfriend, but it's still early.  All For One was the plan to finish last week, but I still have ...
