This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is books I’d want with me while stranded on a desert island. If I were in this situation I think I would want fun, trashy, fantastical reads that I could dive into and forget about my current situation and be happy to reread multiple times until I am rescued. So I’m leaning more towards series that I love that have expansive worlds and characters that I never get tired of.
The Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas
Book of the Ancestors Series by Mark Lawrence
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is books I read in one sitting. Since I’m a pretty quick reader its quite easy for me to finish a book in one sitting, especially if its under 300 pages, so for today these were the first 10 books that came to mind when I went back through my recent reads.
When the Tiger Came Down the Mountain by Nghi Vo
Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir
Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager
Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour
The Shadows Between Us by Tricia Levenseller
Take a Hint Dani Brown by Talia Hibbert
Winterwood by Shea Ernshaw
When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon
A Winter’s Promise by Christelle Dabos
I Believe in a Thing Called Love by Maurene Goo
Back in January I posted about 5 books I really wanted to read in 2021 and now that we are halfway through the year I thought I would post an update! At this stage I’ve only read 1 out of 5 of the books so I really have to get cracking if I want to complete them all.
The Fifth Season by N.K. Jemisin
This was a wonderful introduction to this trilogy and I can see now why so many people love this book. The writing was descriptive and the world building was immaculate. All of the characters were distinctive and diverse and the way the storylines merged was masterful. I am kicking myself for putting off reading this book for so long and I am happy to have finally completed it. I have a feeling I am going to be continuing on very soon!
My Rating: ⭐️4/5 stars
The other four books I still need to read are:
It’s been a while so figured it was time for another WWW Wednesday update:
Jade City by Fonda Lee
Bila Yarrudhanggalangdhuray by Anita Heiss
The Wicker King by K. Ancrum
