Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is: Book Covers In the Colours of My Country’s Flag. I live in the UK so I’ve chosen books I’ve read with red, white and blue covers, which wasn’t as easy as you might think!
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is: Purple, Yellow, and/or Green Book Covers (in honour of Mardi Gras). I’ve already written a post on purple book covers, so I’ve chosen some books that I’ve read with yellow and green covers.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is a Christmas freebie topic, so I picked 10 of the Christmas books I’ve read this year in an attempt to distract me from the depressing COVID and Brexit news.
These books have done the job of distracting me but none of them is brilliant and I can’t really recommend any very highly. However, easily the best of them are ‘A Surprise Christmas Wedding’ by Phillipa Ashley, ‘A Wedding in December’ by Sarah Morgan and ‘Comfort and Joy’ by India Knight. By far the worst is ‘The Christmas Train’ by David Baldacci which infuriated me no end with constant descriptions of women’s weight and appearance; judgements which of course are not equally applied to the male characters. You can definitely tell it’s written by a man.

Bonus, for autumnal books, you can’t beat the gorgeous illustrations in Jill Barklem’s Bradley Hedge book ‘Autumn Story’.
I love autumn! It’s my absolute favourite time of the year.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is ‘the longest books I’ve read’. I thought this was going to be tricky but then I discovered a nifty filter on Goodreads which let me sort books I’ve read by their number of pages. I don’t think I’ve recorded every book I’ve ever read on Goodreads, but I think this list is probably pretty complete. The page counts come from Goodreads too.
1. The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien (1,137 pages)
2. Outlander by Diana Gabaldon (850 pages)
3. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by JK Rowling (766 pages)

5. Brisingr by Christopher Paolini (748 pages)

9. A Fraction of the Whole by Steve Toltz (711 pages)
10. The Glass Lake by Maeve Binchy (704 pages)
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is ‘books with my favourite colour on the cover’. As you can see from my selection below, my favourite colour is purple! I’ve stuck to books and editions which I’ve read.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme is ‘books I loved but will never reread’. As far as I’m concerned, there’s too many books and too little time in this life to reread books unless they are truly exceptional, so I could fill this list with almost every adult book I’ve ever enjoyed. Therefore, I’ve tried to think of books I love but wouldn’t want to reread for a particular reason.
