Top Ten Tuesday: My favorite fantasy books

ttt-new

This is always a hard prompt and for some reason, I always feel bad about the books that didn’t make the list (for example Mistborn and Six of Crows aren’t on this list but I also love those books.) These are some of my top favorites, trust me there are more, but I think about these examples all the time.

Audiobooks I love

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

March 26: Audio Freebie (Any audio goes: audiobooks, music, podcasts, you name it.)

I’ve developed a love for audiobooks, I especially love them for classic literature and longer books since a good audiobook helps me maintain my focus on the story.

March 19: Books On My Spring 2019 TBR

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

I love making these quarterly lists, I also really love the peachy pink gradient of the first three books, that wasn’t intentional but now I know how I’m going to store those books on my shelves.

These are my highest priority books, I’ve been intending to read several of these for a month or so but most of my spare time has been going towards Skyrim lately…hopefully soon I’ll burn out on it and turn back to reading.

March 12: Standalone Books That Need a Sequel

I couldn’t quite come up with 10 books, I’m sure that there are many more than these 6 but I distinctly recall exclaiming “What do you mean it’s over?! I want more!” after finishing all of these.

March 5: Characters I’d Like To Switch Places With

This prompt kind of stumped me for a bit simply because there are loads of book worlds I would love to insert myself into but do I really want to switch places with a character when I know what kind of shit show they are going to face?

Or there are characters where I don’t really want to take their place but I want to be them.

Top Ten Tuesday: Book Places I’d like to Visit

ttt-new

I adore prompts like these because nothing gives me the travel bug more than reading rich and beautiful descriptions about new places, especially if the author adds in local cuisines or spots of interest, once those are added my interest has doubled.

TTT: Books I LOVED with Fewer than 2,000 Ratings on Goodreads

ttt-new

This was an interesting prompt and I had a hard time coming up with this list because quite a few of my results were graphic novels and since it’s been a while since I’ve read them, I wanted to keep this list relatively recent.

The Dead Queens Club
by Hannah Capin

I read this earlier this month and I’m still thinking about it. I think this is a fun and creative twist on the Tudor era, I loved all the reference points in history and how the author incorporated geographical names.

The Color Project
by Sierra Abrams

I enjoyed so many aspects of this book, I loved everything from hearing about the flower shop the main character worked in, to the charity project that Levi was setting up. This book is heartfelt and the characters are entirely relatable.

Van Life
by Sarah Leamy

Goodreads only has one review and rating for this book and it’s my review/rating, I just get sad whenever I see that because I really enjoyed this book. Sarah has a great sense of humor that shows through the pages and she even creates dialogue for her pets who are traveling with her.

Cassidy Lane
Maria Murnane

In all honesty, I read this simply because the main characters name is Cassidy and shes a writer. And I loved this book because the main characters name is Cassidy and shes a writer. I’m shallow and I love when things have my name in it.


That’s it, those are some underrated books that I love.
What are some of yours?

February 12: Recent Writing Craft Books I’ve Added to My TBR

Writing Craft is an area I’ve developed an interest in recently. I’m always looking for ways to improve my writing in all areas of my life and while I know that reading all of these aren’t going to instantly improve my work, I am hoping to learn tips that I can use to enhance my skills. I’m also looking forward to seeing writers write about their passion for their craft.

I’m starting to hate typing the words writing and craft. Those words are starting to look weird and misspelled due to redundancy, but they’re not misspelled. Words are weird.

February 5: Upcoming Releases I’m On the Fence About TV Shows I’m Binging Lately. 

I chose my own topic for this week, the original prompt is Releases you’re not sure about but I am rarely unsure about what I want to get, and honestly, it doesn’t take a lot to convince me into reading something.
So I thought I would take a step back from this week’s prompt because I wanna talk about TV. I’ve been watching a lot more tv lately because I haven’t been in the mood to read a whole lot and I just caught up on Brooklyn 99, I watched all of it in a little over two weeks and I’m so bummed that I wait for new episodes.
So I have a few shows that I’ve been marathoning and a couple shows that I really want to watch soon so let’s talk about those.
