Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’ve Read/Want to Read Because of Top Ten Tuesday

The Book Lover's Sanctuary13 Comments

For me, Top Ten Tuesdays has become a prime source of discovering new books, new authors and new series and it is a genuine delight and pleasure to recognise and celebrate that. One issue, however, is that TTT lists are one amongst other social media including Twitter, Bookstagram, Booktok, Booklr. I am so grateful to you all, but I have been horribly remiss about remembering or recording who recommended what. Usually, it is a scribbled note to myself on a post-it, back of an envelope, a receipt, the back of my hand. So it is a little tricky to do what I would love to do: to give proper credit and thanks where due! So instead, I offer my heartfelt and humble thanks to all of you who offer up your favourite books each week and who comments and visit my little blog.

Merry Christmas to you all! I do hope everyone had a lovely Christmas this week, with plenty of time with families, plenty of peace and goodwill, and not too much over indulgence. In the Book Lovers' home Christmases are quiet and wonderful times...

Top Ten Tuesday: Books on my Winter 2022 TBR

The Book Lover's Sanctuary20 Comments

It is clearly winter now here in the UK: sub-zero temperatures, no working heating in the house; the smell of mince pies I've been baking in the kitchen; struggling through the last days at work - definitely not on a countdown - under the effect of a nasty cold and cough; daughter flying high on the adrenaline of her school Christmas play... Yup, definitely winter time! The sort of time of year where curling up with a good book - and a pot of tea and, yes, one of those mince pies - is a real pleasure. So this week's theme, a quick recap of the books I am looking forward to in these months, is a delight. I will preface these lists, though, as I always do with the caveat that I am very much a mood reader and will, over the winter, pay probably no heed whatsoever to this rather nominal list.
