Top Ten Tuesday #259


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new Top Ten will be posted. Everyone is welcome to join. Link back so everyone can check out other bloggers' lists. It's a fun way to get to know fellow bloggers.

This week is Reasons Why I Love reading.  

1) I love it when books make me think of relationships. And this one is about second chances and marine conservation also.        


2) I love books that take me to another world, and preferably a futuristic world where there are so many possibilities. 


3) Books that make me laugh like this one did. 


4) Books that take me back to another time. 


5) Books that take me other places and are twisty 


 6) Books that grab me with the cover 

7) Books that remind me of being a kid 


8) Books that put a fun new twist on a story 


9) Books that introduce me to a beloved author and/ or teach me something

  2. Agree with all your reasons, hands-down! Favorites are the ones that are twisty and the ones that make you laugh. They really are the cure for so many problems. :)

  6. Great list! I love that books can take us to a different place and time without us having to go anywhere! (or when we can't, like this past year!)

  9. I love books that make me laugh too. I have an odd sense of humor so it's hard to find those kind of books😁

  10. Most of us seem to share the same reasons why we love reading. I like that!

  11. That's a good one - new twist on the story. I have encountered some fantastic retellings over the years, and I really appreciate the way the author showed how timeless the topic is while showing the story to us through a new lens.

  12. Yes to all of these! Seeing Choose Your Own Adventure covers as an adult instantly takes me back to my childhood. I adored that series. Thanks for the trip down memory lane :)

    Happy TTT!

  16. #2 - yep. Still haven't read any of Becky Chambers' books but maybe someday.

    #3 - I rarely come across books that made me laugh so I'm always looking for them.

    #6 - Book covers are wonderful even when they are weird.

    #9 - I like to know more authors beloved or not but I wish authors would stop using social media, I really hate seeing my favorite authors doing stupid things.

    It's always fun to learn something new even if you forget it a week later.

    Have a lovely day.

    ReplyDelete

  28. Just a note greg, when you leave a comment (or maybe its just my blog), when I click on your name to get to your blog, it takes me to a broken and empty page. You might want to check that out. HTH

  33. I like toe scape when I read. I have been reading heavier books (on audio which seems more like tv or a podcast so it works for me) but my favorite is to read something light & preferably funny.

    ReplyDelete
  38. "I love books that take me to another world, and preferably a futuristic world where there are so many possibilities."
    That's one of the things I love the most, but my first bookish love will always be dead characters who still get to have adventures LOL.
