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- 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.  2- Miriam Kendrick from C

Top Ten Tuesday books/ series I would recommend to someone who says don’t like to read.

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl . This weekly meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a topic, and we will all make a list based on that topic. This week, the topic is Books Written Before I Was Born ( These can be books you’ve read or want to read! ) ( submitted by Davida Chazan @ The Chocolate Lady’s Book Review Blog ). I wasn’t feeling this, and so I went through and found a post from The Broke & the Bookish, and I did that. The original post can  be found here . I thought I would recommend some books from some of my favorite genres.   The Classics 1- Pride & Prejudice This is one of my favorite classics, and when making my list this week, I knew I needed to include it. The reason is that I think this is one of the best books by Jane Austen, and we use the story in a lot of modern media. 2- To Kill A Mocking Bird I was so surprised by how much I loved this

Top Ten Tuesday-Books I want to reread

Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  Jana@thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and brings the book blogging community together. Each week Jana posts a topic, and we book bloggers write a response. This week, it's books I want to reread.  1- Pride & Prejudice   This is a classic I’ve read twice, I think? At least once, anyway, I love this novel so much. My favorite character in the book is Lizzie. I also miss the story. Maybe in 2021? Anyway, I miss this book and I want to reread it. 2- Foolish Hearts   I read this book in the summer of 2019. I had been in a bit of a slump at the time, so this pulled me out of it. I read the novel in about two weeks, and I just loved it so much. My favorite character is Claudia, and I want to revisit the book. That this involves theatre is another reason I need to reread this book ASAP. 3- After Anatevka   I know I talk about this book so much on the blog. I read this a few years ago now, and I want to revisit the charact
