Top Ten Tuesday + one Honorable Mention Books I should have read in 2021






Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @.thatartsyreadergirl. Every week, Jana will post a prompt and we book bloggers will make a list as a reply to the prompt, or a past one if we’re not feeling the current one. This bookish meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. This week, our prompt is books we wanted to read in 2020, but for some reason or other, we never got around to reading them. This year, I plan on reading a few of these as a part of my reading challenges.

Classics

1- The Secret Garden

2- A Little Princess

3- Anne of Green Gables

 

I tell myself every year I will read more classics. I’ve been telling myself for years that I need to read these three books, and this will finally be the year. I can’t wait to read these and see what I think about them.

Fantasy

 4- A Curse So Dark and Lonely

5- The Ten Thousand Doors of January

6- A Starless Sea

 

Fantasy is a genre I read a lot of last year. I never got to these three. At least one of them is one of my challenges prompts this year, and I hope to maybe work the other two in later on in the year. A Curse So Dark and Lonely is a Beauty and the Beast retelling, and I can’t wait to read this one.

  Contemporary

6- The Summer of Jordi Perez

7- Well Met

8- Don’t Read the Comments

 

All of these books sound so good! I love contemporary, but I just never got around to reading these three books last year. The Summer of Jordi Perez is on my TBR, and I hope to work the other two books into my tbr for the rest of the year.

Historical Fiction

9-In The Neighborhood of True

I love Historical Fiction, and I can’t wait to read this one for one of my challenges this year! This book sounds so good.

Theater related

10: Working on A Song

 

I love the musical Hadestown, and I went to a virtual talk last year with the composer and lyricist Anais Mitchell. This book sounds so good, and it talks you through all the incarnations of   Hadestown.

 

Honorable Mention

11: The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

 

I recently ordered a copy of this book. I can’t wait to read it because it was loved among the bookish community.

  1. The Ten Thousand Doors of January and The Starless Sea are books I definitely need to get to, also! I loved A Curse So Dark and Lonely, though! Definitely worth the read. I actually *just* finished The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue this weekend, and it's sooo worth the read! Just prepare your feels ahead of time. ;)

    Here's my TTT post.

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
