#TopTenTuesday Things That Get In The Way Of Reading

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 Things Getting in the Way of Reading, an idea originated by A Cocoon of Books. Here are some of my mine, with some suitable books to accompany them:

Tending my garden – The Call of the Wild by Jack London
Writing reviewsCollins English Thesaurus
Maintaining marital harmonyHow it Works: The Husband by Jason A. Hazeley
Trying to decide what book to read nextIn Two Minds by Alis Hawkins followed by The Chosen by Elizabeth Lowry
