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 I Was Reading On This Day Over The Last Ten Years. Wow, what a great topic but what a tricky one! Even with recourse to Goodreads and my blog, I found it too hard to pin down what I was reading on the exact day each year. So my list shows the books I finished reading on a date as close as possible to 11th of August every year since 2016. Links from each title will take you to my review.
- The House at Devil’s Neck by Tom Mead (2025)
- Heart, Be At Peace by Donal Ryan (2024)
- A Fenland Garden by Francis Pryor (2023)
- After She’d Gone by Alex Dahl (2022)
- The Girl Who Fell From the Sky by Simon Mawer (2021)
- The Bird in the Bamboo Cage by Hazel Gaynor (2020)
- The Beach at Doonshean by Penny Feeny (2019)
- Diamond Cut Diamond by Jane Jakeman (2018)
- The Scribe’s Daughter by Stephanie Churchill (2017)
- The London Scene: Six Essays on London Life by Virginia Woolf (2016)
I don’t know about you, but whilst undertaking this exercise I came across several books I could remember nothing about or couldn’t remember reading at all! Also, that I used to read way more books every year than I do now and a wider range of genres, probably because I used to take part in many more blog tours. Finally, that at some point I need to go through old blog posts removing links to giveaways, etc.
