Top Ten Tuesday: The First 10 Books My Daughter Randomly Grabbed from My Shelf

On May 2, 2023May 1, 2023 By whitreadslitIn Book Memes2 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week’s prompt was to choose the first 10 books that you randomly grab from your shelf. Then they suggest that you talk about whether you have read them, and if so, what you thought of them. I thought it would be fun to have my daughter (who is 6) pick 10 random books from my shelf while my back was turned. After some ominous crashing sounds ( 😂 😳) here were the 10 books she brought me!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books For People Who Liked Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

On March 28, 2023March 27, 2023 By whitreadslitIn Book Memes4 Comments

This week’s topic is Books for People Who Liked Author X. I adjusted it slightly to be Books for People Who Liked Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid.

Daisy Jones & the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Goodreads Synopsis:

For a while, Daisy Jones & The Six were everywhere. Their albums were on every turntable, they sold out arenas from coast to coast, their sound defined an era. And then, on 12 July 1979, they split.

Nobody ever knew why. Until now.

They were lovers and friends and brothers and rivals. They couldn’t believe their luck, until it ran out. This is their story of the early days and the wild nights, but everyone remembers the truth differently.

The only thing they all know for sure is that from the moment Daisy Jones walked barefoot onstage at the Whisky, their lives were irrevocably changed.

Making music is never just about the music. And sometimes it can be hard to tell where the sound stops and the feelings begin.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Meant to Read in 2020 But Didn’t Get To

On January 19, 2021January 18, 2021 By whitreadslitIn Book Memes10 Comments

I decided that this year I would like to try my hand at participating in Top Ten Tuesday, a meme that was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

This week the topic is the books you meant to read in 2020, but you didn’t get to, for whatever reason. I have a ton of books that I fully intended to get to last year, but for one reason or another never did. Here are the ten that are sitting on my library cart right now (as I fully intend to try to get to them first this year!):
