Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Villains (favorite, best, worst, lovable, creepiest, most evil, etc.).
I did start having a think about villains and a couple did spring to mind, but not ten, so in the end I decided to twist the topic a little bit. V is for villains but it can also be for many other words, so here are my ten V is for....books
V is for Venetia by Georgette Heyer - I couldn't not include this book seeing as I have listened to it at least 4 times. Narrated by Richard Armitage this is an ultimate comfort book to listen to. Aural bliss! (review)
V is for Vintage 1954 by Antoine Laurain - This was such a fun read. A group of strangers share a bottle of wine from 1954 and find themselves back in the past. (mini review)
V is for Voice of the Falconer by David Blixt - I loved, loved, lovedthe first book I read by David Blixt which was The Master of Verona. This was the sequel to that book and I thoroughly enjoyed that one too! (review)
V is for Virgin River by Robyn Carr - I mean, there are a whole heap of books in this series set in a town called Virgin River, and a few of them have the word virgin in the title. I couldn't not have at least one of them in the list! (post about the whole series)
V is for Vision in White by Nora Roberts - I loved this whole series of four books which features a group of wedding planners, coordinators, florists etc who work together and it's their turn to fall in love!
V is for Victory of Eagles by Naomi Novik - As soon as I saw this title I knew I would have to have a V for Victory included in the list. This book is the 5th book in the excellent Temeraire series by Naomi Novik which features dragons and Napoleonic history. So much fun! (reviews from earlier books in the series)
V is for The Vineyards of Champagne by Juliet Blackwell - This was an enjoyable dual timeline which tells the story of the Champagne region of France and the events that happened there during WWI
V is for The Visitors by Jane Harrison - This book tells the story of the arrival of the First Fleet in Sydney but from the perspective of the indigenous people who were already here.
V is for The Venice Hotel by Tess Woods - I would love to be in Venice. Sigh.
V is for The Village Cafe in the Loire by Gillian Harvey - I would, however, be just as content to be sitting at a cafe in the Loire as well! (review)
There are plenty of other words that I could have used for this list, but there are ten books with titles begining with V.
Venetia is one of my favorite Heyers too!
ReplyDeleteA great collection of V titles! I struggled with this week's topic too, and continued working my way through the alphabet.

I loved that Nora Roberts series too and I shared it with some of my friends at the time.

The Village Cafe and The Venice Hotel both look really good. I would also like to be in either of those places.
ReplyDeleteI love your list!
ReplyDeleteI didn't stick to the topic today either. I thought about going with C, but was in a weird mood, so did a different thing altogether, LOL!
ReplyDeleteYou’re so close to the end of the alphabet!
ReplyDeleteI've only read Virgin River from your list but loved it! My TTT
ReplyDeleteThat's such a creative twist on the topic! It's great to see a list of books starting with 'V', especially with such a varied selection. I'll have to look up *Voice of the Falconer*, it sounds like a fascinating read.
