TTT-Big2 (1)
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 books on my Autumn TBR. Pretty self explanatory – I currently have around 30 unread books on my shelves so I have plenty of books to choose from. Let’s get started.

 

 

Hopefully I’ll get to each of these books. I think The Night Circus will be high up on the list as I’ve had it my on kindle for quite a while already. Have you read any of these books? I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.

Hi guys, I hope you are all well. The other day I went through all of my unread books and so I thought I’d update you guys on what’s sitting on my shelves waiting to be read. These are all of the physical books, as well as the ebooks, however I haven’t included any ebooks I currently have on my Netgalley to read list. Let’s get started.

Basically I’ve got a few books to read :). I would like to think I’m going to read a lot of these before buying more books, but I can’t promise anything. Have you read any of these books? Any books you think I need to pick up right away? I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.

It’s Monday… What are you reading?

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, are and about to be reading over the week.  It’s a great post to organise yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment, and er… add to that ever growing TBR pile! So welcome in everyone. This meme started with J Kaye’s Blog   and then was taken up by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at the Book Date. And here we are!

 

We’re roughly halfway through July now so I thought I’d update you guys on what I’m reading right now. So far I’ve managed to read 4 books which I’m pretty happy with. I’ve actually just started reading two books. Firstly I started The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M. Auel, which is the first book in six book series Earth’s Children. Unless I’m mistaken, this is a historical fiction series set in a prehistoric Europe. I’m not very far in so I can’t comment on it yet but obviously I’ll have a mini review for you guys in my wrap at the end of the month. The second book I’m reading is The Hyena and the Hawk by Adrian Tchaikovsky, which is the third and final book in the Echoes of the Fall trilogy. I am so excited to see how this concludes. I’ve loved the first two books so I have high hopes for this book.
Before I finish this post, I thought I’d share some books on my TBR for the rest of the month. These include The Birdcage Walk by Helen Dunmore, City of Lies by Sam Hawke, Legend by David Gemmell, Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie, Circe by Madeleine Miller and Tempests and Slaughter by Tamora Pierce. Obviously I won’t get to all of these but I’m hoping to read at least a few of them.

 

That’s it for today. Obviously I’ll let you know what I think of each book in my wrap up at the end of the month. What are you currently reading? I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.

TBR: Female Authors

Posted on by

Hi guys, I hope you are all well. So I was wondering what to post about and after realising that the majority of books I’ve read so far this year are written by men, I thought I’d share some books I want to read by women. Of the 29 authors I’ve read so far this year, only 9 of them are women, so I’ve got ten women authors on my TBR to share with you guys. The first five are new to me and the other five are authors I’ve already read one or more of their books, if that makes sense. Let’s get started.

 

 

That’s it for today. There are more female authors I could share but I thought 10 would be a good number to share. Have you guys read any books by these authors? Let me know if you have any recommendations for me. I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.

Holiday TBR

Hi guys, I hope you are all well. You can probably already tell from the title that I’m going to be sharing my holiday TBR. On the day this is posted I will be making my way to Sicily with my family. I’m quite indecisive so choosing what books to take is always a bit of a long process :). Basically a lot of these are books on my e-reader that I haven’t read yet, because I don’t want to be carry around a load of books.

 

 

I wanted to have a variety of books with me, not just fantasy, because I do tend to stick to that genre :). I don’t know how many books I’ll actually get to but I wanted to make sure I won’t run out of books. I do have some other books on my e-reader, so I may get distracted by them. What books are on your TBR right now? That’s all I have for you guys today. I’ve never been to Sicily before so I’m looking forward to visiting it. I hope you are all having a wonderful day and I will see you next time.
