Book reviews and recommendations
Well, this month I’m currently working on three readathons — mythothon, demonathon and magical readathon — and I think there’s going to be some run-over but I’ll leave those off this list. Some books I’d like to pick up once I’ve done with those are listed below. No doubt some of them will wind up worked into other readathon TBRs but they’re all books right at the top of my normal, ‘excited for’ TBR.
Continue reading “Ten Books on My Fall 2021 To-read List”A simple prompt this week, but it took me a while to narrow them down. I had no idea I’d read (or was interested in reading) so many books with numbers in them!

I did this as a ‘I don’t like this week’s prompt’ TTT a few months ago, and I think it worked really well. I only really have time (and energy) to properly review a book a week, so there are loads of great ones I don’t feel like I rave about enough. I think I’m going to do a post like this every few months, just to highlight the great books I’m reading.
These are some of the books I’ve read in the past couple of months that were four/five star reads for me.
Do you review every book you read? Every one you enjoy? What’s your system?
Continue reading “Top Ten Recent Great Reads I Didn’t Review #2”The official prompt is: August 24: Books I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time, but that would just end up as a combination of my favourite books and/or ones I read as a kid, and I didn’t feel like doing that today. Instead I made a book rainbow. It’s been that kind of a day… Enjoy!
Continue reading “Top Ten Books that Make a Rainbow”I wasn’t feeling this weeks prompt so I looked back through the past Top Ten Tuesday prompts for inspiration. I decided to revisit ‘Frequently Used Words In [Insert Genre/Age Group] Titles‘ and have another go.

Nicole at Bookwyrmknits did a similar post a while ago and it really made me want to try and think up answers for myself, so this is a fab topic to come up. Boy, was it harder than I expected though! I guess maybe I don’t pay as much attention to the minor character in my reading as I thought? Or, at least, don’t remember them as well. Or perhaps I’m just too caught up with the protagonist and their story?
I did eventually think of ten secondary characters I want to see take the lead, and once I thought of them, I was surprise they didn’t come to mind sooner!
Continue reading “Top Ten Secondary Characters that Deserve their Own Books”Some are backlist, some recent releases and some still to come out but these ten are book still on my TBR. Aside from the cover and title, I really know little to nothing about them yet. Let me know if you’ve got any thoughts on them!
Continue reading “Top Ten Titles or Covers That Made Want to Read the Book”Oh boy! This is a tricky one, right?
Continue reading “Top Ten Books to take to a Deserted Island”There are ten of the best books I’ve recently read that you could probably read in a single sitting (maybe if you have a nice, long afternoon lazing about in the summer sun?). All these books are 300 pages of less.
