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 Favourite Words. I decided to stick to a bookish theme and take a humorous look at phrases often used (possibly overused?) in relation to books.
Remember that word – humorous.
- Unputdownable (what, you literally never put it down – not even to visit the bathroom or make a cup of tea?)
- A twist you won’t see coming (but probably will now)
- The book everyone’s talking about (my old mum isn’t)
- Epic (you might finish it by Christmas… next year)
- The number 1 bestseller (for about ten minutes on Amazon in a very niche category)
- The best book I’ve ever read (I’ve told you a million times not to exaggerate)
- The long-awaited (Publisher: I wish this author would write more quickly)
- As seen on TikTok (by people too young to go out on their own)
- As seen on Instagram (I remember the cute cat/scented candle/artfully arranged flowers, don’t recall what the book was about)
- Longlisted for the [insert name of] Prize (‘Close, but no cigar’)
Please note: No publishers or reviewers were knowingly ridiculed in the creation of this post.
