Welcome to this week's edition of Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's theme is May Flowers - Pick your own title for this one to reflect the direction you choose to go with this prompt (books with flowers on the cover, flower names in the title, characters whose names are flower names, stories involving flowers/gardeners).
Here are some flowers that I have received this week!
2024 - The Shakespeare Sisters by Juliet Greenwood - I am currently reading this book. I have the second book in the series to read soon too.
2023 - The War Nurses by Anthea Hodgson - I really liked this one when I read it last year.
2023 - A Taste of Italian Sunshine by Leonie Mack - The first book I read by Leonie Mack was set in Paris, this one in the vineyards of Italy, and the last one in the mountains of France. I already have the next book to read by her and this one is set in Spain
2022 - The Lincoln Highway by Amor Towles - This was a long, but enjoyable read.
2021 - The Dressmakers of Yarrandarah Prison by Meredith Jaffe - this one is a 5/5 read for me!

2021 - All Systems Red by Martha Wells - I don't read a lot of sci-fi but this series is a lot of fun!
2020 - The Postmistress by Alison Stuart - Australian historical fiction set in a fictitious town inspired by an actual town a few hours away from me that I would love to visit
2020 - The Good Turn by Dervla McTiernan- I do mix things up a little bit genre wise! This is crime fiction!
2019 - The Flat Share by Beth O'Leary - Still the best book by this author that I have read.
2018 - Templar Silks by Elizabeth Chadwick - This is one of my favourite historical fiction authors and yet I don't often read her. Must rectify that!
Wow, you keep such precise track of when you read books!
ReplyDeleteHere is my Top Ten Tuesday.

If you want to see me panic, wait until I can't find my spreadsheet that I have been keeping for 20 years or so!
DeleteThose flowers are gorgeous! Also, the Murderbot series is really good.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
It's a lot of fun Aymee!
DeleteI really want to add Templar Silks to my tbr but is it a series that has to be read in order? Great list!
ReplyDeleteI know Goodreads has it as part of a series but it never crosses my mind that they are when I think about it.
DeleteHow do you manage to search when you read a book - do you use your Goodreads challenges? I loved The Flatshare too. I've just started listening to The Road Trip.

DeleteGood topic--interesting to look back
ReplyDeleteIt really is!
DeleteLike you, some of my examples of covers with flowers were very obscure. Ha!
ReplyDeleteLOL!
DeleteI agree The Flat Share was pretty fun. I still need to read The Lincoln Highway. Nice list.
ReplyDeleteI still need to read all the other Amor Towles books!
DeleteThe Flat Share is a fun read!

It definitely is Pam!
DeleteI guess I haven't been to your blog in a bit because WOW, I'm blown away by the new look. So fun! I love it.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
Thanks Susan!! I am pretty happy with it! Only changed a couple of weeks ago!
DeleteBased on the title alone, I must read A Taste of Italian Sunshine. Are these books in a series, or stand-alones?
ReplyDeleteHi Jane, they are all standalone books!
DeleteGreat choices! Amor Towles is on my TBR list. Hope you have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou too Stephanie!
