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 Movies/TV Shows That Would Have Made Amazing Books
I can’t think of very many ideas for today’s topic, so from now on I’m going to go with books in alphabetical order every time I need an easy go-to topic, an idea I’m stealing from Pam @ Read! Bake! Create! I think it’s genius!
So here are the Top Ten Books on my TBR beginning with A. These are all books I intend to read, hopefully soon, but definitely eventually.
Top Ten Books Beginning with A
- Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy – I actually got about 30% into this audiobook but stopped because I was getting confused with the names and characters and wanted to switch over to a printed copy. I’m not sure if I’ll pick up where I left off or start over again. Or maybe I should just keep going with the audiobook and not worry about getting all the details right.
- Ariadne by Jennifer Saint – It’s been on my TBR since a Greek mythology binge a few years ago. I’d love to finally read it some time really soon!
- A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan – I’ve read this, but not the other books in the series. And I read it long enough ago that I don’t remember a thing and have to reread before diving into the next books.
- All That’s Left to Say by Emery Lord – I’ve read a few of Emery Lord’s books and enjoyed them, so I really want to read this one too.
- Accidentally Amy by Lynn Painter – I’ve heard so many good things about this author but haven’t read a single book by her. I thinking I have to remedy this and also possibly use it for the 52 Book Club Prompt 25: An author “everyone” has read except me.
- A Tempest of Tea by Hafsah Faizal – Another author I’ve heard good things about, and another possibility for the same prompt.
- A Theory of Haunting by Sarah Monette – So this books sounds really scary and satisfyingly creepy, and for some reason I feel the need to give myself some sleepless nights.
- Artificial Condition by Martha Wells – The second book in the Murderbot series. I read the first and loved it and I wanna read the rest of it!
- A Fire Endless by Rebecca Ross – The second book in the Elements of Cadence series. I read the first one and I really want to know what happens next.
- A Study in Drowning by Ava Reid – I love fairy tales and tales about faes. How can I resist?
Have you read any of these books? What did you think of them? Would you read any of these books?
This is a fun and easy topic anytime we are in need of a fill-in type topic or something to use when a topic doesn’t work for us. May be an idea I’ll have to borrow too! 🙂 I also admire when readers put a classic novel on their respective lists. I never read classic lit, but so many sound like great reads. Hope you enjoy all of these.
I haven’t read a lot of classics, but some of them can be really amazing! I hope you find some you love!
Still shocked I haven’t read Ariadne yet! This is an excellent list. I’ve honestly tried to read Ana Karenina several times. Maybe this’ll be our year!
Fingers crossed for both of us with Anna Karenina!
Such a good idea! I struggled with this week’s topic as I watch stuff but then forget it. Not only that I’m not sure that it would make for an interesting book 😂
Have a great week!

I forget things very easily too! Both books and movies. If I don’t review a book I can forget that I ever read them until I’m halfway into an unwitting reread! 😅
Thanks for the shout-out, Haze! I love how you made the topic your own. A Tempest of Tea is a book I’ve seen in lots of places, but I haven’t seen any reviews.

Thank you! I loved your idea and I thought it was so helpful to have it to fall back on when I come up empty on the assigned topics.
A Tempest of Tea sounds good.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday.
I’m excited for it!
A Study in Drowning is one I badly want to read too. I hope you enjoy all these!
Same! I hope you enjoy A Study in Drowning when you get to it!
A Tempest of Tea and A Natural History of Dragons are both on my list!! So excited to read both. Hope you enjoy all of these!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy them too!
I went a bit rogue for today’s topic too and instead talked about recent reads that I think would make great movies/shows! I like this idea of listing books in alphabetical order on days when I go rogue and can’t think of a different topic to do! 😃 I’ve only read Wells’ book on here but many of the others are on my TBR. Great list!
Thanks! I’m looking forward to reading them too.
I read and loved both Artificial Condition and A Theory of Haunting. I hope you enjoy them! Several of the others are on my TBR still, too.
Here’s my TTT this week: https://bookwyrmknits.com/2024/03/26/top-ten-tuesday-still-more-quotes-about-books/
I’m glad to hear you loved them! That makes me more excited to read them!
I haven’t read any of these yet, but I’d love to read Ariadne and A Study in Drowning!
Ariadne has been on my TBR so long. I need to get to it soon!
Oh my word, LOL, I did the EXACT same thing for today!! I couldn’t come up with anything either so I stole Pam’s idea!!! I put it together yesterday afternoon, LOL!
Great minds! I love it!
I’m reading A Natural History of Dragons right now and I’m loving it so far.
How fun! I love that you didn’t pick titles that started with “A” as a word itself.
Well, just a few of them! 😅
I love these covers very pleasing to the eye, and most of these I know about haven’t read any of them yet. I also picked another topic today, as I could not think of anything either.
Yes, I really like the covers too! Thanks so much for dropping by!
I hope you enjoy All That’s Left to Say and A Tempest of Tea! I enjoyed both 🙂
Anna Karenina is an awesome and amazing choice!
