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- 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...
