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.
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!
This salad sounds delicious, so creative! Happy reading! https://readwithstefani.com/ten-books-about-books/
ReplyDeleteThanks Stefani! I had a bit of fun with it today!
DeleteAaaah 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.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

I have touched on fruit before but I think this is the first timeI have done a whole post on it.
DeleteGreat idea! I'm going to be thinking about nothing but books with fruit in their titles for the rest of the day now!
ReplyDeleteThere's a few out there Cathy!
DeleteHappy Tuesday! I've always wanted to read an Adriana Trigiani book. They always sound so good.
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Tuesday post:

DeleteWhat a fun theme! I love your choices.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
Thanks Aymee!
DeleteThis is such a fun theme (and I'm inexplicably craving some fruit salad right now haha)! I love the cover for Spring Clean for the Peach Queen.
ReplyDeleteMaybe not so inexplicable Lindsey!
DeleteWhat 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.
ReplyDeleteI think I have only read one of Harris's food books.
DeleteI haven't heard of any of these books, but they all look really interesting! Plus, now I have a craving for fruit salad.
ReplyDeleteAs long as there's no watermelon in it!
DeleteOoh, I love this idea! I haven't heard of any of these books though, so I'll go check them out!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by An!
DeleteHow fun! I have to say I'm curious about Apple Tree Yard... that looks like it could be intense.
ReplyDeleteIt's been made into a TV series too Greg!
DeleteThe cover of Watermelon made me laugh. Thanks for sharing. Here is my link if you'd like to stop by: https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/09/top-ten-tuesday-20-books-for-christmas.html
ReplyDeleteThe book is funny too Cindy!
DeleteMy nephew love The Wiggles when he was younger and seeing it here brought back a lot of memories, thank you for that!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Alicia!
DeleteA 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.

DeleteSuch a creative choice of topic!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2021/09/28/top-ten-tuesday-335/
Your topic was super creative!!
DeleteWhat 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!)
ReplyDeleteFun list....I have only read The Peach Keeper. I, too, enjoy SAA.
