#TopTenTuesday Bookish Brags #TuesdayBookBlog

Posted on by whatcathyreadnext

Top Ten TuesdayTop Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.

The rules are simple:

  • Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
  • Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
  • Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
  • Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Bookish Brags (or Confessions). I’m concentrating on brags with a list of authors whom I’ve met in person at literary events or at recordings of Radio 4’s Bookclub programme. (Confession: most of these were very brief whilst getting my book signed.) Links from titles will take you to my review.

  1. Carol Klein, garden guru – her most recent book is a memoir, Hortobiography
  2. Susanna Clarke, author of Piranesi 
  3. Graeme Macrae Burnet, author of His Bloody Project 
  4. Donal Ryan, author of Heart, Be At Peace 
  5. Robert Harris, author of Precipice
  6. James Naughtie, broadcaster and author of The Spy Across the Water 
  7. David Suchet, actor and author of Behind the Lens
  8. Lucy Caldwell, author of These Days 
  9. Clare Chambers, author of Small Pleasures 
  10. Alan Johnson, author of Death on the Thames 

Are there bookish things you want to brag about?

    1. They’re usually lovely aren’t they? And when I hear an author talk about their book I often appreciate things in it I hadn’t clocked when I read it. I love finding out about their research and how they came up with the idea.
