What were your favorites of the last ten years?
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. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
I really enjoyed The Hate U Give, as well. Great list!

I agree -- great list!
ReplyDeleteI've read several of those and loved them too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list! I liked The Hate U Give, The Rosie Project and Eleanor and Park.
ReplyDeleteT.H.U.G. was on my list, too!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
Wonderful list. I've thoroughly enjoyed everything I've read by Rainbow Rowell and I really need to read The Rosie Project.
ReplyDeleteI always love reading your lists since they are always so different than anyone else who is playing along. I am adding your favorite book of 2018 onto my TBR right now! Plus I'd better read I WANT MY HAT BACK. Sounds so cute. My 10 years of favorites
ReplyDeleteNice picks! Lots of new to me ones here!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

Some Writer and Life Sized Zoo sound interesting. I haven't read any of these yet.
ReplyDeleteThe Hate U Give is on my list as well! It's easily one of my favorite books of all time.
ReplyDeleteFrom the last decade?: The Road, Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, Peace Like a River, The Night Circus. The books of this year that were compelling: Where the Crawdad Sings, Calypso, The Best We Could Do - Thanks Debbie, I always enjoy reading you!
ReplyDeleteI loved all of the books you listed from the last decade. I am waiting (not so patiently) for Crawdad to arrive for me at the library. I do hope I'll like it as much as others have said.
DeleteI loved Eleanor & Park and read Rosie Project and I want My Hat Back - but I wasn't a fan of those two.
ReplyDeleteI love seeing Eleanor & Park on your list! I know everyone raves over Fangirl, but E&P has always been my favorite by Rowell. I have so much love for those characters. And after all these years I still haven't stopped hoping for a follow-up book. :)

I love E & P too and almost picked it. But there's been a lot of talk from the Asian community about how harmful some of the portrayal of Park is (starting with Park being a Korean last name, not first name). It's one of those situations where my first instinct is to go, "But..." and then I realize my white privilege is showing.
ReplyDeleteI made a decision to not include picture books, because it made it too hard for me. Maybe I should do one that is just picture books! I Want My Hat Back would be on there for sure. Hey, this just made me realize that I'm not sure where the whole series is in my classroom. Hmm.
Great list! Eleanor and Park will always be a favorite of mine as well. I like the variety on your list.
ReplyDeleteYou have some of my favorites here! I loved The Rosie Project and Eleanor & Park. Now you've inspired me to update my Top Ten lists. Somehow, I missed a few years.
ReplyDeleteI loved Eleanor & Park, too!
ReplyDeleteI love this list! So many books I recognize and also thoroughly enjoyed, like The Hate U Give and Eleanor & Park. Found a couple to check out, too! My favourite kind of list.
ReplyDeleteThese were some of my favorites too. My best guess is that some of them you recommended to me!
