T10T: Book Titles The Feature Numbers

 

Welcome back to Top 10 Tuesday, following the list from That Artsy Reader Girl! I have to slightly bend the prompt, as I have listed every book I read featuring an ordinal number and that was only 4 books lol

This week's prompt is..... book titles that feature numbers

These are in no particular order

1. The Third Gilmore Girl by Kelly Bishop
2. The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera
3. The First Part Last by Angela Johnson
4. The Second Wave by Krista Street
5. One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune
6. One of Us is Lying by Karen M. McManus
7. Maybe Once, Maybe Twice by Alison Rose Greenberg
8. Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid
9. The Seven Year Slip by Ashley Poston
10. Two Can Play by Ali Hazelwood

Clearly I nee to prioritize more books with specifically ordinal numbers. I feel like they may be more common in the genres I do not read much of? I feel like I need to read a lot more books so I have more to talk about.

Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic as always

I am happy to take suggestions for any books you know of that fit this category. At least I had 10 books with numbers. See you next week where I hope I'll struggle less!

 Top 5 Tuesday: Best Books I Read in 2025

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday, now following the list from That Artsy Reader Girl! As always, I do a top 5 instead of a top 10 because I tend to struggle to find 10 books for prompts.

This week's prompt is..... best books I read in 2025

These are in no particular order

1. One Golden Summer by Carley Fortune
2. Bunny Season by Bindi Kennedy
3. The Trouble with Love and Coaches by Harriet Ashford
4. The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera
5. We All Fall Down by Erin FitzGerald

I took a break from these in December for my Indie Author Advent, which I really enjoyed. That said, I am very happy to be back to this fun little challenge. I had a lot of trouble picking my top 5 our of my 5-star reads so this is a smidge of a random pull from them. Just know there are a ton of honorable mentions I wish I could've included (which I could if I did top 10, but shhhhh, I do not normally have 10 picks for a prompt).

Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic as always

Again so happy to be back to this. What were some of your top reads you think I should give a try? Here's to many fun lists in 2026!

Top 5 Tuesday: Books I Enjoyed Outside of My Comfort Zone

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday, now following the list from That Artsy Reader Girl! As always, I do a top 5 instead of a top 10 because I tend to struggle to find 10 books for prompts.

This week's prompt is..... books I enjoyed outside of my comfort zone

These are in order with most recently read first

1. My Roommate From Hell by Cale Dietrich
2. Meant to Burn by Shae Ruby
3. You Too?: 25 Voices Share Their #MeToo Stories by Janet Gurtler
4. The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera
5. Will My Cat Eat My Eyeballs?: Big Questions from Tiny Mortals about Death by Caitlin Doughty

For the most part, all of these are in one genre I am comfortable in, and one (or more) that I am just starting to dip into. This blend makes them less intimidating to pick up an give a chance. I'm proud of myself so far this year with how much I have given various genres a try. Hopefully I can keep it going in 2026! What genres are outside of your comfort zone?

Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic as always

This past week has been so relaxing and healing. Being able to actually get a decent night's sleep definitely helps. I've been bale to read a lot more and am becoming a content machine due to my upcoming Indie Author Advent. I'll see you again tomorrow for some gushing!

Top 5 Tuesday: Books with a High Page Count

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday, now following the list from That Artsy Reader Girl! As always, I do a top 5 instead of a top 10 because I tend to struggle to find 10 books for prompts.

This week's prompt is..... books with a high page count

These are in no particular order

1. The Charlie Method by Elle Kennedy
2. The First to Die at the End by Adam Silvera
3. Destructively Mine by Krista and Becca Ritchie
4. The Girlfriend Zone by Lauren Blakely
5. Ice Breaker by Ariel Dawn

I am the first to admit I tend to avoid books with over 500 pages. It takes a lot of a book to hold my attention for that long and to make me feel that the high number of pages is necessary to the narrative. Each one of these books was able to hold my attention with no issues! Some are even 5-star reads! Do you tend to like chunky reads?

Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic 😁

I've got a lot on my plate lately, but I wouldn't have it any other way. As long as I keep a schedule, I should do just fine! Hopefully, next week I will be able to talk about books that are more in my normal page range. See you then!
