Top Ten Tuesday on a Wednesday!


Hello! Yesterday got away from me and I just didn't have time to post my TTT. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Janna @thatartsyreadergirl. The purpose of the meme is to have the opportunity for bloggers to come together and discuss books based on a prompt. This week, we were supposed to do a freebie based on covers, however; I missed the week where we posted our Top Ten Books of 2019, so I've deiced to do that this week.

1- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid

I read this book over the summer of last year and I feel in love. Every part of this book was fantastic and so deserves the hype. I would love to read more of Taylor Jenkins Reid backlist, I've only read Evelyn Hugo, and Daisy Jones and the Six. 

2- Comic Will Break Your Heart by Faith Erin Hicks

This was a buy based on a blurb I read on Goodreads or Book Riot, and I read it when it came out in Feb of last year. I was very impressed with this debut and I can't wait to see more from this author. I've spoken about this book a lot, but I feel like nobody else I've seen around the blogging community has read it. It's Contemporary YA with a huge nod to comics. 

3- Romanov by Nadine Brandes

This Anastasia retelling was everything!!!! I forget how I found out about it, but I definitely devoured this story and during my busiest month of the year no less.  The story was a fantastic mix of Historical Fiction and Fantasy with the elements of magic. If you enjoy Anastasia, I recommend this because it was a new take that I had never seen before. 

4- The Cruel Prince by Holly Black

If you've been following for me for a while, you know that I don't really read Fantasy, unless it's hyped up like ACOTAR and The Grisha Verse.  I followed the hype train and read this book, and I loved it. This was my first book of the year, the world and the characters captured me. This Year, I would really love to finish the trilogy. 

5- The Wicked King by Holly Black

I followed The Cruel Prince with this not long after it came out. The story was delightful, I still don't know what book I enjoyed more. I disliked Taryn, and I want to try to find the Novella where we find out about her and her intentions

6- What If It’s Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera

This was such an adorable Meet Cute. As a fan of musicals, I loved the musical theater references. The title is a reference to a popular musical, so I knew from that this would be an auto-buy from me. Ben and Arthur were so cute and I really enjoyed getting to know them. 

7-All I Know Now: Wonderings and Reflections on Growing Up Gracefully by Carrie Hope Fletcher

This is a Non-Fiction book by a West End Actress, and I love supporting actors when they come out with memoirs. Carrie is also a Youtuber with a popular channel, so she has a fanbase that way. The book was so good and I loved all the advice given. 

8- The Princess and the Fangirl by Ashley Poston

Okay so this was almost Geekerella, and really those two books are tied for this slot. I gave it to The Princess and the Fangirl because of Imogen, her brother, and finding out more Jessica. The story was great, and I loved being back in this world. 

9- Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills

I was in a bit of reading slump and this book helped me out of it! The story related to the theatre because the characters perform A Mid Summer Night's Dream.  There was drama sure, but there was also a swoony romance. Overall, I would say this is a light story which would be great if you're reading a lot of heavy-duty books. 


10- The Enchanted Sonata by Heather Dixon Wallwork  

I really should have read this book sooner!!! It was a fabulous mix of Historical Fiction and Fantasy like Romanov.  If you know the ballet The Nutcracker, read this because it's a retelling but it also combines another story.

  3. If you liked Seven Husbands you should read her Daisy Jones!

    1. I read it last year as well. I didn't love it as much as Evelyn Hugo, but it was still a solid read for me.

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- 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.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday- Book characters linked to Halloween candy!!

Welcome Back! I know I’ve been saying that I will be back and blogging more. Life happened last week, I had an appointment last week, and I just got lazy after that. I’m planning to be back more this week and get posting again this week. Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl .  This was born out of a love of lists and bringing the bookish community together. This week is a Halloween Freebie. I’m not into the horror or mystery genres. I wanted to do my top 8 Halloween candies and pick a character that reminds me of them. 1- Chocolate Rhys from A Court of Thorns and Roses series by Sarah J. Maas because he is smooth. This was a no brainier for me. Rhys is smooth, and he always knows what to say. He is charming and flirtatious so he was reminds me of chocolate no question. 2- Reese’s cups Claudia from Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills because she is sweet but has the determination to get what she wants. I read this book ...
