Top Ten Tuesday: Fruit salad...yummy yummy



Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is, well, it's a freebie, so there isnt really one.


I had a few different ideas for a theme, but I have ended up choosing books with fruit in the title. This came about because I just finished reading The Last of the Apple Blossom yesterday, and I also have Apple Tree Yard sitting on my bedside table, so that's where my inspiration came from! And you have to take inspiration where you can find it, right?




The Last of the Apple Blossom by Mary-Lou Stephen - I just finished this today.



Apple Tree Yard by Louise Doughty - I got this as part of a blind date with a book. I really need to read it so I can hand it to the next person.




The Oak Apple by Cynthia Harrod Eagles - This is the fourth book in the sprawling Morland dynasty series with this one focussing on the period during the reign of Charles I. I've read 7 books but there are still around another 22 to go. I haven't read one for years though



Blackberry Wine by Joanne Harris - Apparently I owned this book at one point. I have no idea if I still have it or if it was victim to a cull a couple of years ago. When I finish the current cull and packing I might have more of an idea.





Barbed Wire and Cherry Blossoms by Anita Heiss - I definitely own this one. We were planning to go to a town called Cowra last week which is very close to where this book is set but because of lockdown we couldn't go anywhere.



Big Cherry Holler by Adriana Trigani - I haven't read this one. I did read the first book in the series many years ago and I suspect I borrowed this one from the library at least once. I just never read it.





Watermelon by Marian Keyes - If I was making an actual fruit salad one thing that wouldn't be included is any type of melon. Bleugh!



A Crown of Bitter Orange by Laura Florand - I loved Laura Florand's books, and she was one of only a couple of authors that I kept reading during my massive reading slump a few years ago.





Spring Clean for the Peach Queen by Sasha Wasley - This one is on my list to read soon!



The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen - I do enjoy SAA's books.



For those of  you who might not be familiar with the Wiggles, this song is the reason why my post is called Fruit Salad Yummy Yummy!

  2. Aaaah I love this! I did a Six Degrees on books with fruit ones. I remember my inspiration was Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris. Loved that book.

    Happy TTT!

  8. What a fun topic. I remember really liking Big Cherry Holler back when I read it and I've read two food books by Harris but not the Blackberry one.

  14. A great idea for a post. And I love that you added the Wiggles clip. My oldest (who's 19) was a huge fan when she was little. We still randomly sing the songs.

  16. What a marvellous TTT theme! I've read Florand and Peach Keeper before and loved both books. And I'm picking up Joanne Harris's book from here (the reference to Chocolat was more than enough!)
