Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme
created at The Broke and the Bookish.
This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists at The Broke
and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would
LOVE to see your top ten lists!
Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one
of our bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to
join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own
Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can
check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers
as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow
bloggers.
What a great way to do your list! I think 5 Days at Memorial is now going to be on my shortlist.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Interesting list! I'll have to check some of those books out.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!
Oh I really need to get around to reading Eleanor & Park! I keep hearing great things about it. :)
ReplyDeleteI have Lessons in French and Someday Someday Maybe on my shelves so I need to get to them this year!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Love the way you broke everything down my category...definitely need to read Eleanor & Park in the New Year. Ooh, and I loved Steal Like an Artist; I like to refer to it (and Neil Gaiman's "Make Good Art" speech) when I need a pick-me up creativity-wise :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! :) My TTT
It's awfully hard to pick a few favs for the year, I think.
ReplyDeleteI have The Other Typist but when it came time to read it, I wasn't feeling it. Glad to see if your list. Maybe I will get to it this year.
ReplyDeleteSo honored to be on your list. Merci! Happy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteI really want to read The Smartest Kids in the World and I have 5 Days at Memorial in my Audible queue.
ReplyDeleteSure Signs of Crazy was excellent.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to do your end of year post. You always astonish me with how much reading you actually get done- I'm just jealous of course. I love the categories you picked, so many wonderful books. Happily I've read some of these books too. Nice to see so many 1001 books popping up, and even being in your top 12 of the year. Of your books that I haven't read- I recently bought Relish and have it sitting here ready to go, I must bump it up the TBR. And I've seen Rainbow Rowell on so many lists in the past few weeks, that I've gone from never having heard of her, to being extremely interested. The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry is a title I just love, would love to read it. And of course your list of French-ish books is intriguing- I've only read The Immoveable Feast. So much more to read….
ReplyDeleteGiving up tv ten years ago helped clear out lots of time for reading. Unfortunately, my son and his fiancé gave us a Roku for Christmas....
ReplyDeleteShow Me a Story! sounds delightful. I'll have to check it out.
