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.

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 - 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...

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...
