Books I Wish Were On My School Syllabus

Aug 30, 2022

This week I’m sharing the books that I wish were on my school syllabus. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

It’s school freebie time this week, and I thought I would share the books that if I was currently in school, I would love to be on my syllabus. I’ve been out of school for some time now, but I am doing this week’s list, as though I’m currently in school.

I honestly 0nly loved maybe two of the books that I read in high school. I didn’t hate all of the others but I also didn’t enjoy them. Today I’m sharing some modern books that I think would be perfect for school syllabuses. So let’s go. As always these are in no order.

The Hate U Give (The Hate U Give #1) by Angie Thomas | This is How We Change the Ending by Vikki Wakefield. | How It Feels to Float by Helena Fox | Some Girls Are by Courtney Summers.

Dear Martin (Dear Martin #1) by Nic Stone | The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo | The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling by Wai Chim. | Disruption (Disruption #1) by Jessica Shirvington.

Heartstopper: Volume One (Heartstopper #1) by Alice Oseman | The Gaps by Leanne Hall.

And there we go. Those are the books that I wished were on my school syllabus when I was at school. If you didn’t notice a lot fo the books on here, are from Austalian authors. I think it’s so important that we not only read books from Aussie authors, but the life of an Australian. But there are also some other books on here, that I think are such important reads.

Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What books did you wish were on your school syllabus? So, Let’s Chat!

Books I Love That Were Written Over Ten Years Ago

Aug 16, 2022

This week I’m sharing the books I love that were written over ten years ago. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

This was such a fun and interesting post to do. I’ve been blogging for over 10 years now, so I have a lot of records of the books I’ve been reading since about 2013. I had a lot of fun going back and seeing all the books I’ve read over the years.

There are some old favourites on here. And books that defined me for some time. So let’s go. Here are the books that I love that were written over ten years ago now. As always these are in no order.

Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna #1) by Kendare Blake – 2011 | Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1) by Susan Ee – 2011. | Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone #1) by Laini Taylor – 2011. | The Lightning Thief (Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1) by Rick Riordan – 2005.

Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy #1) by Richelle Mead – 2007 | My Love Lies Bleeding (Drake Chronicles #1) by Alyxandra Harvey – 2009. | Pushing the Limits (Pushing the Limits #1) by Katie McGarry – 2012 | Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Marissa Meyer – 2012.

Obsidian (Lux #1) by Jennifer L. Armentrout – 2011 | Love in the Afternoon (The Hathaways #5) by Lisa Kleypas – 2010.

And there we go. Those are the books that I loved that were published ten or more years ago. Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? What books have made it to your list? Let’s chat!

Book Titles That Caught My Eye

Aug 9, 2022

This week I changed the topic just a little to suit me a bit more, and I’m sharing the titles that caught my eye. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl.

As I said I changed this theme around because I didn’t really have many books with funny titles, so I’m sharing those titles that caught my eye. The ones that grabbed me before I even saw the cover. There is a mix of titles here, from romance to young adult. I don’t really know what about the titles catches my eye. Sometimes it’s those keywords or an interesting title that I haven’t seen before. As always these are in no order.

The Never King (Vicious Lost Boys #1) by Nikki St. Crowe | That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Demon (Mead Mishaps #1) by Kimberly Lemming. | The Longing of Lone Wolves (Fae Guardians #1) by Lana Pecherczyk. | Punderworld, Volume 1 (Punderworld #1) by Linda Šejić.

A King so Cold (Royals #1) by Ella Fields | With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo | The Ones Who Got Away (The Ones Who Got Away #1) by Roni Loren. | The Surprising Power of a Good Dumpling by Wai Chim.

Unhinged (Necessary Evils #1) by Onley James | House of Salt and Sorrows by Erin A. Craig.

And there we go. Those are just some of the titles that caught my eye. Have you read any of these? What did you think? Are you planning on reading any of these? What books made it to your list? Let’s Chat!
