Top Ten Tuesday: Random books

 

 

 

Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is The First 10 Books I Randomly Grabbed from My Shelf (close your eyes and touch/grab/point to 10 random titles and tell us what they are! And tell us what you thought if you’ve read them!)

Starting with the books I can see from where I am currently sitting: 

Harbouring by Jenny Patrick - I have this one out from the library at the moment. I borrowed it after our trip to New Zealand.

Lost Luggage by Samantha Tonge - I read this author a few years ago and I am hoping I enjoy this one too.

The Spice Master of Bistro Exotique by Samantha Verant - Another library book.

The Book Binders of Jericho by Pip Williams - I finished this one on the plane! It was such a good book.

And then some random books

Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett - My cousin was talking about this book when I was in Perth

The Rain Queen by Katherine Scholes - My aunt was reading a Katherine Scholes book while I was staying at her house.

And then what I am reading now and next

Summer at Croftwood Cinema by Donna Walker - Readiing this at the moment. So far, so good!

A Taste of Italian Sunshine by Leonie Mack - This will be my next read

and then two books that I should read before the end of the month but I think I am going to struggle to fit in

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - I have wanted to read this book for months but haven't quite fitted it in yet.

The War Nurses by Anthea Hodgson - I really want to read this one too!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books on My Autumn TBR

 

 

 

 

 

Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the theme is Books on My Spring 2023 To-Read List. It is autumn here now though so it is Books on My Autumn 2023 To-Read List

I think we should just take a moment to appreciate the fact that I am actually doing the topic this week!

The Summer Party by Rebecca Heath - I am going to an author retreat last in May and this book and the next one are the two book club books that are going to be discussed!

The War Nurses by Anthea Hodgson - From the first time I heard about this book I was excited to read it. I haven't read this author before but I can't wait to read this book. It is based on the Bangka Island massacre during WWII.

The Nurses War by Victoria Purman - This is one of the authors who will be at the retreat, I am really interested to learn more about this book! 

Hopeful Hearts at the Cornish Cove by Kim Nash - The next few books are all for blog tours that are coming up soon. I haven't read this author before but there was great excitement when the tour was announced so FOMO kicked in and I signed up!

The Little Venice Bookshop by Rebecca Raisin - I have read a number of books by Rebecca Raisin over the last few years. I love how she writes about food, books and place! Maybe she will inspire me to visit Venice

An Italian Island Summer by Sue Moorcroft - If you look at the titles of these and other books I have coming up, there is still a bit of a holiday inspiration vibe to a lot of them! I mean, we only just spent some time in Italy recently. I can't already be dreaming of going back already can I?

The Paris Maid by Ella Carey - I usually participate in Ella Carey's blog tours but didn't get an invite to this one...maybe it's still coming! Either way, I will be reading it!

Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus - This is the next Cook the Books selection

The Spice Master of Bistro Exotique by Samantha Verant - This is a library book I grabbed on a whim last time I was there.

Lost Luggage by Samantha Tonge - I have read one book by this author and really enjoyed it so when I saw this on the new book shelf at the library I grabbed it straight away

What are you looking forward to reading this season?
