#TopTenTuesday In A Word Book Reviews

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.

This week’s topic is One Word Reviews for the Last Ten Books I Read, submitted by Susan at Blogginboutbooks. Links from the title will take you to my full review.

[Oh, that’s clever. Can you see what she’s done there? All the adjectives begin with T! You know, for Top Ten Tuesday. Gosh, if you hadn’t pointed it out to me I might not have noticed. I’m sure you would, you’re quite observant when you put your mind to it. You really think so? Yes, but can we go and look at some other blog posts now?]

This week we’re invited to pick a thing – anything from a colour to a place, an animal or a font – and feature books which have that thing on the cover.  I’ve chosen boats.
