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 reviews – Collins English Thesaurus
Maintaining marital harmony – How it Works: The Husband by Jason A. Hazeley
Trying to decide what book to read next – In Two Minds by Alis Hawkins followed by The Chosen by Elizabeth Lowry
Putting together book lists for challenges – The Reading List by Sara Nisha Adams
Cultural and literary events – Improvement by Joan Silber
Visitors – The Unexpected Guest by Agatha Christie
Sleeping – Dreamland by Nancy Bilyeau
Household tasks – The Unrelenting Struggle by Winston Churchill
Social media – In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust
