Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week the topic is Books I Enjoyed But Have Never Mentioned. In theory this is a topic that I should be able to do quite easily especially as I had a couple of years where I didn't post much about books, but it has taken a while to compile because of the word "never". I ended up going back as far as 2014 to find books I couldn't find mentioned at all. Here's what I came up with.
City of Mirrors by Justin Cronin - The third book in the The Twelve trilogy
The Hating Game by Sally Thorne - I had forgotten that I had read this. As recently as a few weeks ago I was asked if I had read it and I was like...no, not yet. Wrong!!
Her Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen - This the first book in the series of the same name. I liked this but I never read any further.
Templar Silks by Elizabeth Chadwick - I really need to read some more Chadwick and soon!
A Kiss in Lavender by Laura Florand - Laura Florand is one of the authors that I still read during my massive reading slump.
Quarterback Rush by Jaci Burton - I read 9 books in the Play by Play series but not sure I mentioned many of them.
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante - I am not sure why I never read any more of this series after this book.
Bring up the Bodies by Hilary Mantel - This is the second book in the Cromwell series. I was very excited about the third book when it came out last year in 2020 but still haven't actually read it.
First Frost by Sarah Addison Allen - I've mentioned lots of other SAA books on the blog but not this one. This was her last book and was published 6 years. That means 6 years of anticipation for her next book which is out later this year.
Evergreen Falls by Kimberly Freeman - I really enjoy Kimberly Freeman's books. I still have a couple to read.
If we do this topic again I might have to go back into the 2000s to find another 10
Writing up a review for a book or otherwise talking about it on my blog seems to solidify it for me. Books I just read without reviewing...I don't always remember much about them.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure I necessarily remember the ones I do write about Deb!
DeleteI enjoyed the first two books in Justin Cronin's trilogy, but never got around to City of Mirrors. The first two were excellent, especially on audio!
ReplyDeleteI listened to all three on audio Les.
DeleteThe Justin Cronin books were great!
ReplyDeleteThey were weren't they Tina!
DeleteI've read the first four or five of the Royal Spyness mysteries, but i seem to have stalled.

I haven't read any more of this series Cathy.
DeleteMarg, like you I read the first two Mantel books in this series but not the most recent. Perhaps because I knew it was going to be even sadder! I did like the Hating Game but not the book that came after. The movie looked cute - I guess I should check if it is on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteI think for me I haven't gotten to the third book because I have been listening to the first two and they are such long audiobooks.
