Top Ten Tuesday: Back to school

 

Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This 

week the theme is Back to School. Our school year runs from late January to mid December so it is an unusual time for this theme for us but I am going to stick with it.

So, here are ten books which feature schooling relating words.

Kalahari Typing School for Men by Alexander McCall Smith - the fourth book in the No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency series

The School for Heiresses - This was an anthology featuring Sabrina Jeffries, Julia London, Renee Barnard and Liz Carlyle. It's such a shame that Liz Carlyle doesn't write any more. Her books were fab. (review)

Kitchen Counter Cooking School by Kathleen Flinn - I did a joint review with Beth Fish Reads for this book which was so much fun.

The School of Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister - This book made me want to take cooking lessons! (review)

Charm School by Nelson De Mille - I read this book back in the early 1990s, as well as several other books by this author. This was a Cold War spy novel. Not sure it would hold up too well now, but I did enjoy his books a lot at the time.

Poison Study by Maria V Snyder - I could have chosen any of the Study trilogy really. (review)

The Piano Teacher by Janice Y K Lee - love the cover of this book!

Teach Me by Olivia Dade - I read this book earlier this year. It won't be my last book by this author.

French Lessons by Ellen Sussman - I don't remember much about this book but to be fair I did read it 11 years ago.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change by Stephen R Covey - I did this as part of a leadership program through work a few years ago now.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books on my Winter TBR

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is Books on our Summer (or Winter for me!) TBR pile.

The Missing Sister by Lucinda Riley - I was so saddened to hear the news of the death of author Lucinda Riley. I am a big fan of her Seven Sisters series, and I have The Missing Sister here to read or listen to. She had announced recently that there was going to be one more connected book so this might not be the last book, but it will still be bittersweet

The Lost Girl of Berlin by Ella Carey - I will be reading this for a blog tour in the next few weeks. I really enjoyed the first book in this trilogy so I am looking forward to ti!

Rogue Protocol by Martha Wells - I have recently discovered The Murderbot series and read the first two books in succession, despite not being a huge sci fi reader. This is the book that I will be starting as soon as I finish my current read.

The Jam Queens by Josephine Moon - I started listening to this but I am not getting much listening time so I will likely switch to the book

Love Among the Recipes by Carol Cram - Tamara from Thyme for Tea has just announced that Paris in July is back this year, so my plan is to read this book ready for July!

Spoiler Alert by Olivia Dade - I recently read Teach Me by Olivia Dade and enjoyed it so i am planning to read more from her.

The Pretty Delicious Cafe by Danielle Hawkins - I have read a couple of Danielle Hawkins' books and enjoyed them but I do still have a couple of her other books to read.

Things We Cannot Say by Kelly Rimmer - When I read The Warsaw Orphan I had no idea that it was linked to this earlier book. 

The Life She Imagines by Maggie Christensen - It's time for me to get back to Granite Springs and see what happens next.

The Clover Girl by Viola Shipman - This author's book, The Heirloom Garden, was one of my absolute favourite reads from last year and I am sure I am going to like this one just as much!

What's on your TBR?
