"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". It was created because they are particularly fond of lists. It is now hosted by Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl.
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.

I keep meaning to try Midnight Library but haven't gotten to it yet! One of my coworkers enjoyed Covenant of Water.
ReplyDeleteCovenant of Water was my favourite book last year, Stephen. I'm not surprised your coworker liked it. Midnight Library is also great. Enjoy.
DeleteNice list!! I've only read one of Matt Haig's novels, How to Stop Time, which was good!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa. I definitely want to read more by him, even though that's not my genre.
DeleteI read "Teufelsmoor" ages ago, but only have a vague memory. I think I was not so thrilled.
ReplyDeleteWe just talked about it yesterday at our book club meeting. Most of us liked the book but not the conditions the people had to live in. I will publish my review soon.
DeleteWonderful!
DeleteThanks. As you might have seen, I have done so in the meantime:

I have heard great things about The Midnight Library.
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard of anyone who didn't like it, Cindy. I'm glad you heard that, too. Thanks.
DeleteI have read 3 authors here, and you managed to convince me to try Matt Haig!
ReplyDeleteCan only be Fosse, Verghese, Leky or Tomalin, right, Emma?
DeleteI really hope you will like Matt Haig. I have put his other books on my wishlist.
I really should read Matt Haig sometime.
ReplyDeleteThat's a good idea, Lydia. Several people with very different reading tastes have mentioned that they like him. Enjoy.
DeleteI always love finding authors whose work I love so much that I can't wait to read more by them! I've only read one non-fiction title by Matt Haig but I'm very excited to read more by him in the future :)
ReplyDeleteI think you would really love The Midnight Library, Dini. I know our tastes are different but I did not expect to like this and still did, so I am sure you would, as well.
