Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Today’s topic is Green Book Covers (In honor of St. Patrick’s Day today!)
I wasn’t feeling the green book covers so I decided to feature Irish authors instead in honor of St. Patrick’s Day. I don’t pay enough attention to where authors usually come from, or even story settings – something I’d like to remedy – so I was surprised to learn about some of these authors’ roots. The first five books are ones I’ve already read, and the next five are books on my TBR I haven’t read yet. Looking forward to see what everyone else has on their list today! Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Top Ten Books by Irish Authors
Normal People by Sally Rooney – I enjoyed this book but didn’t love it. I feel like the author is a “journey, not destination” type of storyteller, which I appreciate sometimes, but maybe I needed a little more with this book. I can recognize the author’s mastery while also acknowledging that I may not be the best audience for her work.
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde – This is one of my favorite classics. I have read it several times and I always love how creepy and chilling it is. I also really liked the 2009 film adaptation.
P.S. I Love You by Cecelia Ahern – I read this book a long time ago and don’t remember much but I’m pretty sure I ugly cried.
Room by Emma Donoghue – I know I ugly cried with this one. I read it for a book club years ago, and I remember thinking about the book and the discussions we got out of it for a long time after that.
Dracula by Bram Stoker – I only read this book recently but I loved it and now understand why it has such an everlasting hold on popular culture and media. It’s just a really good story with really interesting characters and so much tension.
Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell – I was very interested in this book but there was so much hype around it that I just kept putting it off. I’m still interested though, and will probably read it eventually.
A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man by James Joyce – This has been on my TBR forever but I just haven’t gotten around to it. One day, hopefully soon!
Gulliver’s Travels by Jonathan Swift – I was very surprised to find that I haven’t read this book because I remember reading it when I was a child, but I realized that I was reading an adapted, abridged, children’s version, so it’s still on my TBR.
This Charming Man by Marian Keyes – One of my friends spoke very highly of this author, and then I found this book in a little free library some years ago. It’s been on my shelf a while, and I keep meaning to read it soon.
In The Woods by Tana French – I’m familiar with this author’s name but have somehow never read any of her books. I came across this book while researching authors for this list and it sounds like something I’d enjoy so it’s on the TBR now!
Have you read any of these authors? What did you think of them? Would you read any of their books?
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Today’s topic is Book Titles Featuring Ordinal Numbers
I never realized how few books I’ve read with ordinal numbers until I tried looking for books for this prompt, so I decided to do books beginning with the letter G for my alphabetical prompts instead. I did add a single book with an ordinal number; it’s the only one I’ve read that I can think of! I’m looking forward to finding some good ordinal number books on everyone else’s lists that I can add to the TBR.
Top Ten Books Beginning with G
Grass by Sheri S. Tepper – One of my favorite scifi books by one of my favorite scifi authors. It’s about humans who have migrated to a planet of grass that’s already inhabited by other species. I desperately need to reread this one, it’s been a while.
Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry – I’ve enjoyed many of Emily Henry’s books and this was the latest one. The premise is similar to TJR’s The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, but the vibes are a lot more lighthearted and I loved it.
The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo – My favorite Malaysian author writing about Malaysian Chinese folklore. I cannot recommend this book enough! I reminds me so much of my own family’s history and culture, and it’s just a really good story in and of itself.
Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell – One of the most popular classics of all time, and one of my favorite books still. I no longer see it as a romance because of how problematic it is now that we know better, but I do still see it as a very important cultural and historical snapshot of the times.
The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson – I read this so long ago I honestly cannot remember a single detail about it except that it made an impression on me. This means it’s time to reread!
Gerald’s Game by Stephen King – This was one of the first King books I read and I was completely drawn in by the psychological horror. I remember feeling such awe at the way King tells the story because nothing tangible happens for hours except in the MC’s head, but you can just feel the horror from the way he writes it.
The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck – This book was in my father’s library and I read it when I was too young to fully appreciate it. I think it’s time to reread it in my adulthood, I’m pretty sure I’ll get a lot more out of it now.
The Girls I’ve Been by Tess Sharpe – This is young adult but I loved the story and the MC. The author has written several young adult books with really interesting female main characters and I just love them. This was the first one I read, and there’s also a sequel that I haven’t read yet.
The Gifts of Imperfection by Brené Brown – I’ve probably mentioned a few times now that I’m a huge fan of the author, and I loved this book. I love all her books. They make me feel like I could be a better person, so there’s hope for me yet!
Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir – My token book featuring an ordinal number. I listened to it on audio and missed a lot of details so I didn’t want to read the sequel until I reread on print and understand what’s happening a little more.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.
Today’s topic is Genre Freebie
I decided to go with “portal fantasy” for today’s genre freebie. Portal fantasy is when people from the “real world” suddenly find themselves transported into an alternate reality, a fantasy world, via some sort of portal like a book or a wardrobe. Some of these are well-known and loved, and others less so, but I realized I enjoy portal fantasy a lot. What other books have you read and loved that fall into the portal fantasy genre? Please share them with me!
Top Ten Portal Fantasy Books
Long Live Evil by Sarah Rees Brennan – The MC is sick and unwell in real life and finds herself transported into one of her favorite books as a villain. It was one of my favorite surprises; I didn’t expect to love this book as much as I did but I’m obsessed and eagerly waiting the next one.
The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster – This book probably doesn’t need an intro since I only read it because so many of you gushed about it! I’m so glad you did because I loved it and I kind of feel like rereading it now.
Oz: The Complete Collection by L. Frank Baum – Dorothy goes from the real world into Oz via hurricane. Not really the portal I would choose to go through if I had a choice, but I love the Oz stories and was surprised that Dorothy is only a small part of the whole collection!
The Neverending Story by Michael Ende – This is one of my favorite books (and I loved the movies too!) but it’s been a while since I read it. I’m mixing up a lot of the book details with the movie details so it makes sense that I should just go ahead and reread it and rewatch the movies soon!
Fairy Tale by Stephen King – If King wrote it and it fits the prompt, it sits on the list! This is one of my favorite King books, but I love so many King books I don’t know if being my “favorite” King book carries weight anymore. This one is fantasy, not horror, has found family and a dog, and is just really good.
The Astral Library by Kate Quinn – I’ve been wanting to read more of Kate Quinn and this is on my TBR. It’s probably the most recently released book on the list and I’m very excited about it, because it’s about a hidden library where you can go inside your favorite books and visit those worlds!
Inkheart by Cornelia Funke – In the same vein, this one is also about being transported into a book world. Full disclosure, I’ve only watched the movie but I love the idea and I’ve been thinking that I should probably read the book.
Her Majesty’s Wizard by Christopher Stasheff – I loved this book as a child. It’s a series of 8 books but I’ve only read up to book 4 because I didn’t know there were more at the time! In the first book, the “wizard” is just a normal guy from the real world who gets transported into a world with a rhyming magical system, and he becomes a powerful wizard in that world just because he’s good with rhymes. I love it and I’m going to reread it all over again!
The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher – I love Kingfisher and I loved this book. I found it so creepy but in a good way, and I jumped at shadows for a while, but it was worth it!
The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis – I feel like this is another one that doesn’t need an intro because it’s probably one of the most popular portal fantasy and everyone knows about the lion, the witch, and the wardrobe. However, I realized suddenly as I was writing this, that this is another one of those stories you think you know because it’s so popular, but I’ve only read the first book and not any of the others! I need to rectify this.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?

Today’s topic is Quotes From/About Books
I don’t normally remember quotes, but I’ve been adding some favorite quotes that stand out to me every time I review a book so that I can at least keep a record and remember them when I come back to the reviews. The list below are some of my favorites from my most recent reads.
Top Ten Favorite Book Quotes from Recent Reads
“The library belongs to everyone. The library, Janet used to say, is one of only a few places in the world that one doesn’t need to believe anything or buy anything to come inside.” – The Good Sister by Sally Hepworth
“There’s no bitch on earth like a mother frightened for her kids.” – Dolores Claiborne by Stephen King
“We all make mistakes. It’s how we deal with our mistakes that really define our character.” – Better Than Revenge by Kasie West
“There is no happy ending, theres just. . . happily living. As best you can.” – The Dead Romantics by Ashley Poston
“At the end of the day, at the end of the week, at the end of my life, I want to say I contributed more than I criticized.” – Dare to Lead by Brené Brown
“They ask something small of you. A thing you would prefer not to do, but is not so terrible. You think you are working your way up, but in fact they are changing you. Moulding you into what they think you should be, one compromise at a time.” – The Will of the Many by James Islington
“I lay it down as a general rule, Harriet, that if a woman doubts as to whether she should accept a man or not, she certainly ought to refuse him.” – Emma by Jane Austen
“Nobody can take care of you the way you need to take care of yourself. It’s your job to take care of yourself like that.” – The Wedding People by Alison Espach
“Don’t cheat your friendships. Don’t ask them to mean less to you than they do, or think they only have value if they’re a stop on the way to a real relationship. All relationships are real. Friendship can be as deep as the ocean. It’s all a kind of love, and love isn’t any one kind of thing.” – Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts by Kate Racculia
“There is a crazy-wild delight that comes over you when you discover something new, something extraordinary. If you try to share that and people look at you blankly, it’s crushing. But if there’s someone else there to say really?! and take fire with enthusiasm alongside you – well, that will keep you going for a long time.” – Hemlock & Silver by T. Kingfisher

Today’s topic is Books for Armchair Travelers (Submitted by Laurie C @ Bay State Reader’s Advisory)
I’ve traveled a bit when I was younger, mostly around the Asia and Australasia area, but it’s been a while since I traveled and there are still so many places in the world I’d love to see. In full honesty, I prefer to travel in comfort and would probably be too afraid, and frankly not in any shape, to do some of the extreme adventure traveling depicted in these books, so except for the food/travel books, I’m happy to experience them all through the pages of the books and leave them at that!
What about you? Have you traveled a lot? Do you prefer traveling in comfort or do you enjoy extreme adventures?
Top Ten Books for Armchair Travelers
A Cook’s Tour by Anthony Bourdain – My favorite part of traveling has always been about trying new foods. I also love Anthony Bourdain and there’s nothing I would love more than to get to know the world and different foods through his perspective!
Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper by Fuchsia Dunlop – In the same vein, I love Sichuan food and I’ve heard that Fuchsia Dunlop is the go-to person to learn more about the Sichuan food and culture.
The Wager by David Grann – Once upon a time I wanted to be a marine biologist, but that never happened because I have a very big, healthy fear of the sea. I can’t get rid of my fascination for it though, so I’m always drawn to stories of sea adventures and braver adventurers than me.
Maiden Voyage by Tania Aebi – The fact that she was 18 years old, and sailed the world alone for two years(!) makes me want to read her story and live vicariously through her. I have so much respect for people who can do this but I would never!
Ice Ghosts by Paul Watson – I read The Terror by Dan Simmons last year and loved it but it was a fictional account of the Franklin Expedition and I have so many questions! Then I saw this book on Aj @ Read All The Things! listed as one of their best books of 2025 and I knew I had to read it!
The Last Place on Earth by Roland Huntford – My friend saw me reading The Terror last year and recommended this book to me. It’s not related to the Franklin Expedition, but it is about brave explorers doing incredible things.
A Walk in the Woods by Bill Bryson – After all the harrowing adventure stories, I think this one might be a little more my speed. I love the idea of walking through the woods, but honestly, the Appalachian Trial sounds challenging to me and the most I’m probably going to do is walk on my treadmill while reading this book!
The Geography of Bliss by Eric Weiner – I love the idea; the author travels the world looking for the happiest places and asking questions about what makes people happy.
The Great Railway Bazaar by Paul Theroux – Traveling through Asia by train sounds like something I could possibly do, but I’m thinking it’s a good idea for me to read about it before doing it in real life! Although things have probably changed since the book was written in 1975.
Wild by Cheryl Strayed – Another hiking story that I’ll read without taking a step out of the comfort of my own home! I haven’t read this book but I know it was hyped up and very popular at one point. I’m curious and have had it on my TBR for a while.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?

Today’s topic is Love/Valentine’s Freebie
I decided to feature some of my favorite authors for romance for this week’s topic. These are authors with more than a few books I’ve read and loved, and who I’m still interested in reading. I love some more than others, and they all have different writing styles, but I get a lot of joy out of reading them! Do you have any go-to romance authors? Please share your recommendations, I’m always looking for more!
Ten Of My Go-To Romance Authors
Taylor Jenkins Reid – She doesn’t write the typical Happy Ever After romances, but her books do often revolve around BIG LOVE and always give me a ton of feels. Her stories live rent free in my heart!
Mhairi McFarlane – Also not your typical romance writer, but her books are so valuable to me and give so much insight into the topic of love and human nature.
Beth O’Leary – I loved some of her books more than others, but even the not-so-good ones are good for light entertainment and for that reason I continue to read them.
Jennifer E. Smith – She writes young adult romance, but I started reading them years ago so her books are kind of “grandfathered” into my reading lists whenever I need a nostalgic pick-me-up.
Ashley Poston – She’s a new favorite! I’ve read two books and loved them, and I’ve already borrowed more from the library! I especially love the magical realism element to her stories, and the vibes!
Emily Henry – I also love some of her books more than others, but all of them always feel like safe go-tos for comfort reads, and so I keep going back to them.
Kasie West – Another author “grandfathered” in from my younger days. I still love her books and I think they’re relevant and lovely regardless of audience age.
Katherine Center – She might be one of the most consistently good romance writers with consistently good stories. Her books have such a wonderful balance of light-heartedness and profundity that I think is not appreciated nearly enough.
Christina Lauren – Their books are delightful snacks for me. They don’t keep me full for long, but sometimes all you want is a snack to satisfy a craving, and their books fill that role for me.
Tessa Dare – I love historical romance but haven’t read many recently because I don’t like some of the outdated ideas that come with them. I get it, it’s true to the time, but still. Tessa Dare manages to write wonderful historical romance that feature feminist ideas and I love them!
Have you read any of these authors? What did you think of them? Would you read any of their books?

Today’s topic is Book Covers Featuring Cool/Pretty/Unique/etc. Typography
Some of these books I’ve read and loved, some I haven’t read, some I’m not interested in at all, but I thought all of them had really interesting typography on their covers that caught my attention so I added them here. If you’ve read any of them and think they’re worth reading, let me know!
Top Ten Books Covers with Interesting Typography
Falling into Place by Amy Zhang – I loved this book and rated it 5 stars. I read it twice and thought it was written beautifully about some difficult things.
Moby Dick by Herman Melville – I just recently read this and enjoyed it even though it was quite long-winded. I listened to this on audio while occasionally refering to my physical copy. Unfortunately, this is not the cover of my copy.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll – This is one of those stories I know and love through so many pop culture references, but I can’t remember if I’ve read the actual book. I love this cover though!
Find Me by Ashley N. Rostek – This is book 1 of a series and all the covers are beautiful. It’s new adult, reverse harem romance, which isn’t typically what I’m interested in, but it has great reviews so I might try it.
One Two by Eliane Brum – I’m not interested in reading this book but I love how simple yet creative the cover is, especially because I work with yarn and I love how it looks on the cover.
Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer – This book intrigues me and I fully intend to read it one day. The cover is beautiful too!
The Age of Perpetual Light by Josh Weil – I love the cover design! It’s a collection of short stories with a common theme about light. It looks interesting.
Falls The Shadow by Stefanie Gaither – The premise actually sounds interesting, it’s scifi with clones, but I have no interest in reading it. I do love the cover design and how the letters create a different shadow.
Dry by Augusten Burroughs – I remember the hype around his other book Running With Scissors and I still want to read it one day. If I like it, I might read this one too.
To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee – Another popular book that I’m sure most people have heard of. I’ve read it but I don’t currently own a copy. Hopefully, I’ll be able to find this cover if I decide to buy it.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?

Today’s topic is Bookish Discoveries I Made in 2025
I will be focusing on new-to-me authors for today’s topic. There were a lot more than ten new-to-me authors in 2025, but I didn’t like all of them, and some only had the one book written. For my list today, I listed the authors whose books I enjoyed, who have written more than one book, and whose works I intend to read more of. Have you read any of these books/authors?
Top Ten New-to-Me Authors I Read in 2025
David Grann – I really enjoyed Killers of the Flower Moon, and I was stoked to find out that he also wrote The Lost City of Z and The Wager, books I definitely want to read!
Ariel Lawhon – I was surprised by how much I loved The Frozen River and I see that she has several other historical fiction books published as well, many of which look interesting to me.
Dan Simmons – I’d heard a lot about the Hyperion Cantos series, and had no idea when I was reading The Terror that they were written by the same author. I hope to read the Hyperion series soon!
Victor Hugo – Les Misérables was an excruciatingly long read, but I enjoyed it and I still intend to read The Hunchback of Notre Dame.
M.L. Wang – The Sword of Kaigen has been on my tbr for a while, but I ended up reading Blood Over Bright Haven first. I loved it and it’s made me even more curious to read the former!
Fredrik Backman – A Man Called Ove was one of my favorite reads in 2025, and there are so many books by Backman I want to read!
Haruki Murakami – I read What I Talk About When I Talk About Running without realizing who the author was, and I loved it. I’ve never really been curious about Murakami’s books before but I feel like I should read a couple now.
Jenny Lawson – Let’s Pretend This Never Happened was a book club BOTM. I fell in love with her weird humor and really want to read her other books now!
Kate Racculia – Tuesday Mooney Talks to Ghosts was another book that really surprised me by how much I enjoyed it, and I love the sound of her two other books as well. I hope she writes more!
John Scalzi – I’ve heard so much about John Scalzi and his books but only read them because a couple were on Audible Plus. I loved how fun and creative they are and I intend to read many more!
Have you read any of these authors? What did you think of them? Would you read any of their books?

Today’s topic is Bookish Goals for 2026
I have to admit that I wasn’t the most intentional reader in 2025. I read a lot of amazing books, happily, but I feel like I was very checked out and going on automatic for most of the year. I joined too many buddy reads, went along with what other people wanted to read most of the time, rushed through reading deadlines, and was not intentional at all with my reading life.
The pro is that I did discover a lot of really good books from other readers, but the con is that I felt rushed and constantly chasing deadlines, and ended up putting a lot of my own TBRs and reading goals aside. I feel like I need to find the right balance so that I can enjoy the best of both worlds, so I’m going back to some of my basic goals this year.
Top Ten Bookish Goals for 2026
Read more non-fiction – This is a repeat of my bookish goals from a couple of years ago because I didn’t do well with this last year. I do often read and enjoy non-fiction, but I’ve had some specific titles on my TBR for ages that I haven’t gotten to because they require me to pay more attention and I haven’t been very focused lately.
Read more physical books – In the last couple of years, I’ve been reading a lot more books on digital and audio format, which is completely fine and valid, and very helpful for when I have to do chores but still want to read! But I miss physical books sometimes, being able to flip through them especially with fantasy books that have maps and character lists and so on. I’ve also neglected a lot of the physical books I already have on my shelves, so this is part of my next goal as well.
Prioritize the older books from my TBR – I get very easily distracted by all the shiny new books that everyone else recommends, but I have a few books featured on my TBR lists since I started my blog that I still haven’t read yet and it’s getting embarrassing! I’m not going to pretend that I won’t get distracted by new books, but I want to at least try to read some books that have been on my TBR the longest.
Finish series I start – If I start a series that I like and there are multiple books out already, I’d like to read them all back to back if possible so that I don’t forget and have to reread again. Obviously, I still have unfinished series from before that I’m going to try prioritize the ones that already have all their books out.
DNF books more decisively – In relation to the above, I also need to make a decision after reading the first book in the series if it’s good enough for me to continue reading the rest of them. I have such a backlog because I can’t decide. I also need to be able to DNF standalone books sooner.
Keep a book journal – Not an aesthetic book journal, I tried that before and couldn’t keep up. I bought a cheap daily planner that I’m not planning on decorating at all, and I plan to write very messy, spoiler-y notes about the books I read as I’m reading them.
Stay on top of my book reviews – The reviews themselves don’t take a lot of time individually, but I tend to accumulate a whole bunch of them because I procrastinate about writing them, and then they add up and get overwhelming and I procrastinate some more. I feel like if I just write them as I finish each book, it would be much easier!
Be more present with my book blog – For most of 2025, I’ve felt disconnected with my blogging and like I’m constantly rushing and catching up with everything. I really want to change that and go back to feeling the fun and enjoyment I had when I first started blogging. This relates with other non-bookish goals and how I want to reorganize other parts of my life so that I have more time and energy for things I love.
Participate more in the book community – There have been so many bloghops, booktags, other fun stuff I’ve been wanting to participate in, people whose blogs I love reading and connecting with, and I’m hoping that I can do more of them this year!
Reactivate my bookstagram account – This is not a priority and I don’t intend to do this immediately. I feel like I’m already not keeping up well enough with my blog so I definitely don’t need a bookstagram account to keep up with too. I’m only doing this if I feel like I can manage both, and my goal is to possibly get there before the end of the year.
I’m very hopeful for a more active presence on the blog in 2026! What are your bookish goals this year?

Today’s topic is Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026
All the books I’ve chosen for this topic are by authors I’ve read and loved before and I feel pretty confident that I’ll love these ones too! I’m so excited for them! However, I made a promise to myself that I would prioritize some of the older books on my TBR, so I’m going to pace myself and try to be a good TBR reader.
Top Ten Most Anticipated Books Releasing in the First Half of 2026

Operation Bounce House by Matt Dinniman – Expected publication date: Feb 10, 2026. I love the Dungeon Crawler Carl series by the same author, and Book 8 is supposed to be out May 12 but there wasn’t any cover design out yet, so I went with this unrelated book instead and I’ll probably read it too!
All Hail Chaos by Sarah Rees Brennan – Expected publication date: Feb 17, 2026. The first book in the series, Long Live Evil, surprised me by how much I ended up loving it, so of course I’m reading this second one!
Wolf Worm by T. Kingfisher – Expected publication date: Mar 24, 2026. I love so many of Kingfisher’s works, she’s an automatic read for me.
The Book Witch by Meg Shaffer – Expected publication date: Apr 7, 2026. I mean, a witch with the power to go into books and interact with the world? It’s my dream!
The Escape Game by Marissa Meyer & Tamara Moss – Expected publication date: Apr 7, 2026. I love a good mystery/thriller, and this one sounds so good.
The Shippers by Katherine Center – Expected publication date: May 19, 2026. Just assume that I’ll read anything Katherine Center writes. I love her books!
Platform Decay by Martha Wells – Expected publication date: May 5, 2026. This is Book 8 in the Murderbot Diaries series, which I love and must continue with!
Whistler by Ann Patchett – Expected publication date: Jun 2, 2026. I loved Bel Canto and I feel like this one will make me feel all the emotions too.
The Unicorn Hunters by Katherine Arden – Expected publication date: Jun 2, 2026. Arden’s writing gives me such mystical and magical vibes. I need this.
Are you anticipating any of these books? Have you read any books by these authors? What books are you looking forward to?
