Top Ten Tuesday- Book with theater elements or theater books I've loved

 




Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @thatartsyreadergirl. This meme was brought about by our love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a prompt and we readers and bloggers will respond. We also have the option to go rogue and do our own thing. This week was a freebie, and in honor of Broadway coming back this month, and The Tony Awards the other night, I wanted to theme my list to that. For those that might not know, one of my other passions in life is Broadway Musicals, so this theme is very on-brand for me. I put the books by genre. 


Non-Fiction 

1- Hamilton: The Revolution by Lin Manuel Miranda and others 

2- The Great Comet of 1812: The Journey of a New Musical to Broadway


These are two coffee table books I loved. 


Middle Grade

3- Fearless (Fearless Series Book 1) by Mandy Gonzalez

4- The Chance to Fly by Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz

I read these both this year and I loved them so much. I'm actually rereading Fearless next month for the spooky season. 


Young Adult 

5- Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda by Becky Albertalli

6- Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills

7- Kate in Waiting by Becky Albertalli

8- What If It's Us by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera

I loved all of these so much. 

Adult

9- All's Well by Mona Awad 

I read it earlier this year and I just loved it, 

To Read


10- The Dear Evan Hansen Coffee-Table Book

I want to read this to find out more about the show. I do have an issue with the show, but I just love the music, and most of the plot, as well as what it did for people with mental illness. I have not seen the movie yet, but I want to.

    I'm a theater nut so I LOVE this topic. I haven't read a few of these books either so definitely jotting down a few titles for my TBR. :)

    My oldest has seen the movie Love Simon, and thought about getting the book for my youngest for Christmas this year.

    This is such a clever idea for TTT! I will have to make a note somewhere. Will also take a look at some of your books listed, as an ex theatre girl myself, I am always looking for books with theatre settings. I have actually just started with a new book yesterday with a nice Moulin Rouge type of theme. It's an ARC and I think it's going to be great!

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
