Top Ten Tuesday (17/02): Ten Book Related Problems I Have



Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish.

This blog is a recent discovery. I love their blog and this weekly list seemed like fun so I decided to participate (:





Ten Book Related Problems I Have (in no particular order)

1. Buying books faster than I read them. There are way too many books on my shelves (physical and electronic). But when I read or hear about an interesting book, I can't help but purchase it for later.

2. Reading too many books at once. Oh you know, start one book with a bookclub, start another on the Kindle because it's travel friendly, just bought a book you can't wait to get into... Next thing you know, you have way too many books on the night stand!

3. Moving is a pain. Only when you move do you realise how heavy books are!

4. Multiple copies of books across different devices - but some books are just that good!

5. Read the book before the movie? Always a dilemma.

6. Loyalty to a series. When the earlier books in a series are too good and you continue to read the series because you just need to know what happens, even when the latest books have become too farfetched or dull.

7. Kindle vs purchase physical book vs borrow book.

8. Falling in love with characters. If only they were real, they'd make the best boyfriends / friends.

9. DNF. I hate not finishing a book. But I've only ever not finished ONE book - it was so bad and not my cup of tea, I just couldn't go on.

10. Book gifts. Disappointment with the lack of excitement when you gift a book to a loved one. Give me books or book gift cards anytime! I'll love you forever!

    Nice list. :) I relate to your book problems! Deciding whether or not to read a book before the movie is not as easy as people might think. Sure, the book's always better but sometimes I want to give the movie a chance.

      Thank you Fiona! Yes, there are definitely some good movie adaptations of books out there. I'm perhaps the most apprehensive when a book I love is made into a movie. I can think of a few that have left me completely disappointed >_<

    Yes! I know what you mean, about staying loyal to a series. Is it more painful to keep going or more painful to stop? Sometimes, it's hard to tell!

Top Ten Tuesday (03/03): Top Ten Books You Would Classify As All Time Favourite Books

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . It's fun to do and interesting to read what other bloggers have to say as well! Join in the fun! Top Ten Books You Would Classify as ALL TIME FAVOURITE BOOKS From the Past 5 Years 1. The Night Circus   by Erin Morgenstern. This is the most recent in this list. I loved how Erin Morgenstern wove the story around the characters and the circus. She also has a wonderful writing style that just makes you see, smell, hear and feel what she is writing, like you're right there. I wrote a review on this here . 2. Where She Went  by Gayle Forman. I really enjoyed If I Stay  and literally bought and read Where She Went  straight after I finished it. I wasn't expecting to love it as much as I did. This book is from Adam's perspective and he really does have a lot of sadness, doubt and anguish. Gayle Forman does a great job portraying Adam's feelings. Gut-wrenchingly beautiful, is al...

Top Ten Tuesday (07/04): Top Characters You'd Like To Check In With

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish .  Check them out if you haven't already! Top Characters You'd Like to Check in With This week's TTT is about characters from series that have ended and you would like to see their life post the series. I'll add standalone books as well. I won't make the ten this week *sad face*. Here's my list and in no particular order: 1. Hermione Granger  from Harry Potter . I can just imagine Hermione doing great things (maybe like Emma Watson has been with 'he for she'). 2. Ella  from Ella Enchanted . I love Ella so much.  3. Maia  from The Goblin Emporer . A recently read book. I just loved Maia and hope his rule has continued successfully and that he's made many acquaintances he can truly call friends. 4. Hazel   from The Fault in Our Stars .  I nearly didn't put Hazel down just because I thought it felt mean. She would still be struggling with her canc...

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish . Check out  The Broke and the Bookish  and other TTT lists! Ten Books You Recently Added to Your TBR List! Haha... coincidentally, I think most of my recent TBR list are books I've discovered through reading other TTT lists! And book blogger reviews. Let's see what interesting books I've recently added on Goodreads. 1. The Guy, the Girl, the Artist and His Ex  by Gabrielle Williams. This was a surprise inclusion with the next book. 2. Pieces of Sky by Trinity Doyle.  Recently won a proof of this (and above) from Allen & Unwin. 3. The Every series by Ellie Marney. Intrigued I didn't know about this series earlier. 4. Reluctantly Charmed by Ellie O'Neill.  Not sure where I've added this from but it does sound fascinating. 5. Vicious by V.E. Schwab.  I think a natural addition following the below discovery :) 6. A Darker Shad...
