Top Ten Tuesday: Fall TBR

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

Hello!

The theme this week is the top ten books on my fall TBR, so this was actually pretty easy for me. My TBR is way too long, but I, fortunately, only had to pick my top ten for this post.


The Shining by Stephen King

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood


The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson



The One by Kiera Cass 

I See You by Clare Mackintosh

The Betrayals by Fiona Neill

Let the Dead Speak by Jane Casey


The Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas // I KNOW, I can't believe I haven't read this one yet, but I am really looking forward to it!

Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Struggled To Get Through

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

Long time, no see! I'm sorry that I've been super absent, but I will try to get back into blogging more now. I am still posting on my YouTube channel, but I will do my best to stay active on this blog as well. 

The theme this week is books I struggled to get through, or didn't get through at all. I didn't manage to come up with ten different books, but I did my best. I usually don't have that much problem getting through books, and I don't like to DNF books either, so I didn't have that many to choose from.


I'll start by mentioning the one book on this list that I didn't finish at all, and that is Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. I picked this up because we were having a production of the musical at my school, so I wanted to read the book before performing the play. However, the philosophy sections were so long and hard to get through, that I ended up putting it back before even getting halfway.



The rest of the books I'll just mention in a list-format, as I don't really have much to say about each individual one. The main thing they have in common is that they were hard to get into, and had sections which I found hard to read. I did end up finishing all of them, and even enjoyed some of them quite a bit. And with some I might enjoy a lot more now, given that there's been some time since I read a few of them.


1. Carry On - Rainbow Rowell

2. After You - Jojo Moyes

3. All Our Wrong Todays - Elan Mastai


4. De Usynlige (The Invisible) - Roy Jacobsen

5. The Host - Stephenie Meyer

6. The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter - Henri Murger


What books did you struggle to get through?

Top Ten Tuesday: Series I Want to Finish [VIDEO]

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

Hello!

I finally did another Top Ten Tuesday today. I really want to do them every week, but I don't always feel inspired by the theme, and sometimes I just forget to do it. This week, I made a video of my TTT, which I really enjoyed. I'm really enjoying making videos at the moment, so expect to see a lot more of them!



I really hope you enjoyed it, and I'll talk to you next time!

Which series are on your list this week?
