Hey everyone! I hope you’ve all had a lovely Christmas!
Those of you who know Shanah (The Bionic Book Worm) will know that she’s taking a short break from blogging to spend some quality time with her family over Christmas which means that there is no Top 5 Tuesday today…….. Or is there!?
Joe (J.W.Martin aka Storey of Stories Blog contacted me last week and asked me to take part in a surprise for Shanah. So, as a thank you to her for all the hard work she puts into Top 5 Tuesday week in week out…. we’re bringing you our Top 5 ‘Top Tuesdays’!
Shanah, I honestly don’t know how on earth you manage to think of interesting topics each week, on top of your normal blogging, your jobs and your family duties. But I am so glad that you do! You’ve enhanced my blogging experience massively. You’ve created such a nice blogging community for us bookworms and we cannot thank you enough.
So… my Top 5 ‘Top Tuesdays’…. Here goes!
(FYI – I’ve linked you to Shanah’s posts because she lists all the participants within her post. So it makes it really easy for anyone who wants to have a quick look at all of our posts on that topic! Shanah, apologies in advance for the amount of Pingbacks you’re going to get from me!)
Top 5 Spooky Reads
This was the first top 5 Tuesday I participated in! For some reason, I never felt confident enough to join in before, but as soon as the Halloween themes came up, I was so up for it and I’m so glad I decided to join in.
Top 5 Book Covers
I loved this topic! It was reassuring to know that I’m not the only bookworm who does judge a book by it’s cover. Sometimes judging pays off…. But sometimes the book cover is better than the book itself.
Top 5 Historical Fiction
This topic came up while I was still being shy and not taking part in Top 5 Tuesday. If you’re into Historical Fiction, you should take a look! I’m a massive history geek so I had a great time reading everyone’s posts. It’s always great seeing that other book bloggers love your favourite books!
Top 5 Reasons Why I Blog
For me, the reason I loved this topic was not so much book related…. It allowed me to get to know the people whose posts I look forward to a little bit better. There was a real sense of community with this post.
Top 5 Books That Made Me Cry
This was the first Top 5 Tuesday I came across and it was the first time I interacted with Shanah. I somehow stumbled across her blog and this post and I’m so glad I did. I’d recommend you go check Shanah’s out! Even though I read her post a while ago, I can still remember it quite vividly, mainly because of what she wrote about A Monster Calls. Go check it out!
So, that’s it! My Top 5 ‘Top Tuesdays’ so far! I cant wait to see what topics 2018 will bring us!
Before I go…. one last thing…..If you read our Top 5 Tuesday posts and want to take part….. please do! One of my regrets of 2017 is that I didn’t join in sooner. If you can’t do it every week, that’s fine. Just do it when you can. We’re a really friendly bunch and you’ll get to know some amazing people. Be warned though… your TBR list will increase drastically!
Yes, yes. The TBR grows and grows! Great list and thanks for taking part!
