#TopTenTuesday Bookish Birthday Wishes

Top Ten Tuesday

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.

For this week’s topic we’re invited to celebrate the birthday of Jana, the lady we know as That Artsy Reader Girl. I thought I’d mark this special event with a list of books which are also celebrating their (UK) book birthday this week in one format or another.  Links from the titles will take you to the book description on Goodreads.
