Celebrating Stories in Every Medium
Today’s Topic: Books I’d Want With Me While Stranded On a Deserted Island
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
I’ve tweaked this week’s topic a bit to suit my tastes. I would never be able to limit my choice of books if living on a deserted isle. So instead, I’m sharing books with an island setting. Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday – Island Life Book Style”
Today’s Topic : Books I Read In One Sitting (or would have if I had the time)
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
This week’s list could also be named, “Books I Couldn’t Put Down” since most of these I was not able to read in one sitting. Although there are a few that I managed to read in one sitting, mainly because they are under 300 pages. The rest just managed to captivate my attention. Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday – Books I Read in One Sitting”
Today’s Topic: Reasons Why I Love Reading
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
I’m always baffled by people who don’t enjoy reading. Honestly, I wonder what is wrong with them, but then I have to remind myself not to judge. Everyone has different interests and passions. However, I still feel sad for those people because I feel they are missing out on one of the great experiences of life. Here are a few reasons I love to read: Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday – Reasons I Love Reading”
Today’s Topic: Books On My Summer 2021 TBR
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
I’m using this prompt as a kick in the pants to read some of the books on my TBR pile as well as a few new summer releases. I’ve already finished a couple that were originally on this list. Progress! Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday – 2021 Summer TBR”
Today’s Topic: Freeebie
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
Anyone who has hung around here long enough knows two of my passions are books and classic films. I really love when I get a chance to combine the two, which is why for this week’s freebie, I am sharing my favorite books on film stars Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday My Favorite Books on Film Stars”
Today’s Topic: Book Quotes that Fit X Theme (Pick any theme you want, i.e., motivational quotes, romantic dialogues, hunger-inducing quotes, quotes that fill you with hope, quotes on defeating adversity, quotes that present strong emotions, healing, etc. and then select quotes from books that fit that theme.)
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
Last year, someone very near and dear to me passed away. It really hit me hard. Thanks to that loss, I now notice fictional statements on grief and loss whereas in the past, I kind of skimmed over them. It wasn’t something I really related to. Now I do. And I hope that this experience and the ability to relate to fictional character’s journeys of grief are making me a more understanding and compassionate person. Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday – Bookish Quotes on Grief and Loss”
Today’s Topic: Book Titles That Are Complete Sentences
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
Well, I originally thought this prompt would be a bit more difficult as I don’t tend to read books with long titles. However, once I started going through my Goodreads, I realized some sentences can be short and still complete a thought.
I did notice one peculiarity, the majority of this week’s titles come from my TBR list, not from books I’ve already read. Maybe I have a subconscious bias against sentence titles? Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday – Book Titles that Are Complete Sentences”
Today’s Topic: Books with Nature on the Cover
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
I’m a big fan of nature’s beauty, both in real life and in artwork such as book covers. I tried to select newer releases or those yet to be released for this week. Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday – Books with Nature on the Cover”

Today’s Topic: Colorful Book Covers
Hosted by: That Artsy Reader Girl
I am a huge fan of color in my everyday life. It makes me so happy. My closet looks like a rainbow, my home has pops of it everywhere, and spring is my favorite season partially because it means the return of nature’s color. So obviously, I notice and appreciate the same in book covers. Continue reading “Top Ten Tuesday – Colorful Book Covers”
