Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.This weeks topic is all about your favourite novellas/short stories. Now I don’t actually read a lot of these but I want to read more and I thought this might help motivate me to read more. Let’s get started.

The Terracotta Bride / Zen Cho

That’s all I have for today. I definitely want to try reading more novellas, so I’d love to know if you have any recommendations for me. What’s your favourite novella or short story? I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.

I’ve never read anything by Robin Hobb but so many people seem to love his writing. Do have any recommendations on where to start?

Well I would say it’s best to start with Farseer trilogy as it is the first trilogy in the whole Realm of the Elderlings series. I hope you enjoy the books – I love her books! 🙂
