Top Ten Tuesday: Books With Single-Word Titles

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

This week I focused on choosing books that had attention-grabbing titles since I wasn’t exactly sure how else I should be responding to this prompt. I look forward to seeing what everyone else did with it.

1. Astounding! by Kim Fielding

2. Drama by Raina Telgemeier

3. Nemesis (Miss Marple, #12) by Agatha Christie

Top Ten Tuesday: Characters I’d Follow On Social Media

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

I’ve been looking forward to this topic for weeks! There are so many characters to choose from that I had trouble narrowing my list down to only ten people.

1. Sherlock Holmes 

Imagine all of the fun he’d have figuring out who the bots and sock puppets were! Once he’d found some genuine people to follow, I think Sherlock would enjoy getting to know them (and potentially discovering their secrets) even more. Facebook seems like it would be his social media platform of choice if he wasn’t still using Myspace.

2. Diana Barry from L.M. Montgomery’s Anne of Green Gables Series

Diana seems like the sort of person who would love Pinterest for the recipe collections alone. Maybe she’d even convince Anne to sign up, too.

3. James Bond 

His Tinder and OkCupid accounts would be incredibly flirtatious.

His LinkedIn account would not be, although the writing style would be so similar that anyone who had accounts on all of these sites would recognize him even before they looked at his stylish photos.

4. Starr Carter from Angie Thomas’ The Hate U Give 

Her tweets could go viral within a few hours. I suspect she’d keep her Instagram and Snapchat pages private, though, so that she’d have somewhere to go to talk about things she didn’t want the local news reporting on.

5. Fred and George Weasley
And when purchase viagra from india individuals are feeling happy, it increases their sex drive. 4. With a dry vagina and lack of orgasm, delayed ejaculation, no orgasm at cialis cheap india all. Mental stress like condition is one that the ED sufferer needs to take, while keeping their needs and wants in mind. generic viagra generic is among the famous drugs that treats erectile dysfunction and impotence in men. The significant ingredients of kamagra tablets consume approximately 30 minutes to start its execution that longer for at least 4 viagra cialis india – 6 hours.
Their Instagram stories and Snapchats about all of the pranks they pulled would be legendary. We’d just have to make sure their parents never found out they had accounts on these sites.

6. Bigfoot

Somehow his Facebook account would acquire thousands of followers despite the fact that he rarely if ever would actually update it.

7. Jane Eyre

Imagine all of the long, rambling updates she’d leave on LiveJournal. I’d like to think she’d have an anonymous Twitter account, too, to document the evidence of the ghost that she thought might be haunting her new employer’s house.

8. Albus Dumbledore

His Youtube videos would be a minimum of thirty minutes long. If you aced the quiz at the end, you might get rewarded with some wizardly sweets.

9. Moby Dick

His Instagram feed would be completely devoid of hashtags or or explanations of his oceanic home. All we’d see would be photos of places few humans have ever seen before.

10. The Cat in the Hat 

Would he occasionally troll people on every social media platform he could find? Yes. Would I find his status updates amusing anyway? Yes.

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!  This week’s topic is book cover freebie.  Winter has been missing one thing for me this year.  Snow!  Some people love snow and some hate it.  Yes, traveling in snow is stressful, but I still think it is beautiful.  Those delicate, fluffy flakes are one of the things that make the cold temperatures tolerable.  However, my area has only received a couple snow falls this year and they didn’t even last a day before they melted.  While I wait for some real snow, I’ll browse Goodreads for book covers with snow on them.  I’ve read some of these books, but I stumbled upon several of them while browsing.

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Picture Books I Read In 2019

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

I wonder how many other Top Ten Tuesday bloggers love picture books? They’re something I often turn to when I don’t know what else to read or need something gentle for my mind. There are so many amazing picture books out there. Here are just a few of the ones I enjoyed reading or rereading this year.

1. Do I Look Odd To You by Rebecca McDonald

My extended family is multiracial. Every child in the family eventually asks about the various races that are represented in our family and why we don’t all look alike. I love this book’s approach to those questions.

What a beautiful story this was. It made me wish I could have a dog.

Lola was seriously one of the cutest protagonists I’ve met all year. I adored her.

There were so many delightful plot twists in this tale that I immediately went back and read it again after the first time I finished it.

If you ask me, there’s always room for more adaptations of classic fairy tales. I can’t get enough of them, especially with illustrations as eye-catching as these ones were.

It isn’t always easy to discuss slavery with small children. I like the approach taken here. It’s honest but doesn’t go into more detail than little ones need. And Harriet Tubman is someone everyone should know about!

It’s always interesting to read two or more subplots set hundreds of years apart that share something important in common.

4. Numenia and the Hurricane: Inspired by a True Migration Story by Fiona Halliday

Publication Date: January 21

As soon as I heard this was based on a true story, I knew I had to read it even though I don’t normally like to read about boats being lost at sea. I can only hope it will have a happy ending!

Publication Date: March 3

10. When You Were Everything by Ashley Woodfolk

Publication Date: March 10

Ending a friendship can be so painful. We need more stories about the after effects of stuff like this, so I’m glad this one is on the way.
