#TopTenTuesday Books With Buildings in the Title #TuesdayBookBlog

Posted on by whatcathyreadnext

Top 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 Books Guaranteed to Put an End to Your Book Slump. I’m fortunate in that I’ve almost never experienced a book slump so feel ill-equipped to advise what to do. Therefore I’ve come up with my own topic, inspired by a scavenger hunt I saw on Instagram: Books With Buildings in the Title. Links will take you to my review.

  1. Behind the Scenes at the Museum by Kate Atkinson
  2. The Surgeon’s House by Jody Cooksley
  3. The Cafe with no Name by Robert Seethaler
  4. Castle Gay by John Buchan
  5. The Last Apartment in Istanbul by Defne Suman
  6. Sanctuary Motel by Alan Orloff
  7. The Fort by Adrian Goldsworthy
  8. The Darlings of the Asylum by Noel O’Reilly
  9. The Man in the Bunker by Rory Clements
  10. The Doll Factory by Elizabeth Macneal

    1. As I said in my post, I don’t think I suffer from ‘book slumps’. In fact, I’m not sure I even know what one is! Is it when you don’t feel like picking up a book at all or you don’t know which book to choose or you start several books but quickly put them down because they’re not quite right?

    1. Not sure which ones you may have read but if you like historical fiction try Witch Wood. Mr Standfast is my favourite Richard Hannay adventure (set in WW1). I also love his final novel, Sick Heart River, which has a very elegaic quality. He wrote some pretty good short stories as well.

      1. Apart from The 39 Steps, I remember reading Prester John and one other that I cannot think of. This was years ago, I was hoping to do my A level English lit assignment on his work, but the teacher wouldn’t agree to it. I do like WW1 stuff, so must look his work out.

  11. Oh, I’d have never thought of that, but it’s an interesting prompt idea! Reminds me of some of the recent Top5Tuesday topics in a way. Very creative!
