Top Ten Tuesday ~ Top Ten Most Unique Books I've Read

"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists at "The Broke and the Bookish". Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.

 April 8: Top Ten Most Unique Books I've Read

    What an interesting list. The only one I'm familiar with is The Map of Time, my daughter gave it to me for my birthday. I haven't read it yet, but I'm looking forward to it. Will have to add most of the rest to my list.

      Thank kyou, Janet, as always, I appreciate you taking the time and looking at the list. I loved this subject, the hardest of this was picking only ten. I hope you will enjoy some of them, they are all worth reading, "Elle" is probably the most weird and complicated one.
      Have a good day,

      How lovely. Thank you, Lois. You have only just started following me but have been one of the most frequent commenters. And now this. I feel honoured. I had a quick look at the conditions of the award and it will be fun finding my own nominees. The hardest will probably be to find enough "small" bloggers although I seem to enjoy them most.

      Thanks again, will reply soon and reblog.
      Have a good day,
      Marianne

      So do I, Jillian,

      I used to run a book club but had to give it up for health reasons. Now I blog about the books I read and really enjoy meeting other readers through it. I will check your page and would love to follow you. Always happy to hear other people's thoughts.

      Talk to you soon.
      Have a good day,
      Marianne
