Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish.

1.Cruel Beauty: I once came up with a Beauty and the Beast idea where the Beauty was hunting the Beast. I probably wasn't ever going to write it, though, so I'm glad somebody else did!
2.Bridge to Haven: Because I love Francine Rivers
3.Hacker: Because I have an obsession with Ted Dekker.
4.Season of Wonder: Aaaahhhhh!
5.Reign: Again, aaaahhhhh!
6.The Secret of Pembrooke Park: I've been on a Julie Klassen kick. She's a more recent discovery.
7.The Butterfly and the Violin: This one got great reviews, and it's set during WWII, which I love.
8.Home of our Hearts: I've been a Christy fan since I was 11 or 12!
9.Quest for the Middle Kingdom: I don't really have an explanation for this one. I was going to read it but then I didn't....
10.Rebels: I'm reading this one right now! Finally!
11.All The Light We Cannot See: What I can't see, is why I didn't read this one last year? It's a Goodreads Choice Award Winner.
Well, that's my brief TTT. I wrote it in a hurry, but at least I wrote it! So, what books were you not able to squeeze in last year?
Some of these are books I missed too. Season of Wonder is the same for me. I have that signed copy on my shelf and have the ARC. Klassen is a definite favorite of mine. I have her latest to read as well. Have you read The Maid at Fairbourne Hall yet? That's my favorite of hers. Thanks for stopping by! I haven't been to too many Changing Hands events, but I'm hoping to go on the 24th. Maybe I'll see you there. :)

Season of Wonder is on my to-buy list. And I haven't read The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, but I definitely want to. Maybe I'll just go on a Klassen reading spree, knock them all off the TBR!
DeleteI also have Season of Wonder on my TBR shelf. =P Hope you enjoy Rebels and The Secret of Pembrooke Park when you get to them! I reviewed those two on my blog (liked to titles), they're great!
ReplyDeleteOur library has Cruel Beauty in processing/cataloging ... hmm. =)
I saw that Top Ten Tuesday says "freebie" this week ... maybe I'll give this one a shot!
that is, *linked to the titles. >_< =)
DeleteI loved Rebels. Kind of depressed that the series is over. And I enjoyed your reviews! Maybe I'll get my hands on Pembrooke soon.
DeleteCruel Beauty is on my want-to-read list. I'd like to read it for the Fairytale Retelling Challenge, so I'll probably read it this year. So I guess it'll actually work out better, with me not having read it already!
ReplyDeleteHaha, exactly! I remember how frustrated I was with myself when I finished a fairy tale retelling....on December 31. Just couldn't wait one more day...
DeletePlease do eventually get to QUEST FOR THE MIDDLE KINGDOM. You'll be glad you did!
ReplyDeleteI'll certainly try! It sounds like a great book.
