Top 5 Tuesday: Books I Want to Reread Someday

 

 Top 5 Tuesday: Books Want to Reread Someday

Welcome back to Top 5 Tuesday. Everyone be proud, I'm here two weeks in a row. Even if it is pretty late, I got y'all

This week's prompt is..... books I want to reread someday

Some books are just so obvious that it will be a great time again in the future. My hope with all rereads is that I would gain something new by rereading it.

Let's break down the why for each of these...

#1 is the only thriller I thought could be cool to reread. I feel like it would be a very different but worthwhile experience to read it again a while down the line while having the context of what everyone in the story actually did. 

#2 is the start of a series that is written by possibly one of my favorite humans ever. That is one big reason I wanna go back to the beginning someday and experience the magic once again. I also find the MMC to be very similar to my partner in some ways so it would be fun to read it with that in mind.

#3 is chock full of helpful advice that is gonna be relevant throughout my life. I think it would be good to circle back whenever my life circumstances change a good bit to prioritize the advice that will help me at the time. 

With #4 I just really want to annotate it because I didn't the first time and kinda regret that.

#5 on the list is actually a book I would be reading for the 4th time because it is just that impactful for me. It was the series that got me back into reading for fun so I gotta give it some love every few years.

1. The Villa by Rachel Hawkins
2. Something Lost by Erin FitzGerald
3. How to Keep House While Drowning by KC Davis
4. Love on the Brain by Ali Hazelwood
5. The Naturals by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic 😁

See you all next Tuesday for another top 5!

 Top 5 Tuesday: Books I Never Reviewed

Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday, a new series I hope to start here on my blog. I've seen it floating around and thought it would be a lot of fun to give something other than wrap-ups and reviews.

This week's prompt is..... books I never reviewed

An important caveat to this is that these are books I didn't review on social media as I do post reviews on Storygraph and Goodreads for every book I read. Without further ado... here's my list

1. Leather & Lark by Brynne Weaver
2. Hexed by Emily McIntire
3. The Kiss Quotient by Helen Holang
4. Lies & Weddings by Kevin Kwan
5. Kill Joy by Holly Jackson

Here it all is in a pretty lil' graphic 😁

See you all next Tuesday for another top 5!
