Hosted by The Broke and the Bookish
Happy 5th anniversary to Top 10 Tuesday! Very exciting. I discovered TTT last May and have participating ever since. It’s a great weekly meme which connects book bloggers and gives us a chance to highlight our favorite books and make super fun lists. What’s not to love?! Today I’m listing my favorite “top ten” topics of the TTTs I’ve personally participated in. (It would have been too difficult to pick only ten topics from the archives! I do not envy those of you who have been participating all five years!)
2015
1. Books as movies/TV shows (June 2) – This was too much fun! I love imagining my favorite books and characters coming to life on the screen.
2. Authors I’d love to meet (May 12) – Author love!
3. Peeking in on characters’ lives (April 7) – This was such a great prompt because I’ve often wondered ‘what happened next?’ This goes for all books without epilogues. Did the guy and the girl stay together?
4. Books from childhood (March 24) – Your favorite childhood books really leave an impact – they shape you! I enjoyed giving appreciation to my childhood reads.
5. Favorite heroines (Feb 24) – Girl power.
6. Likes/dislikes about bookish romance (Feb 10) – I am such a sucker for a good romance. This TTT gave me a chance to outline my favorite (and least favorite!) aspects of bookish romance.
2014
7. Places I want to be (Oct 14) – The top 10 places books have made me want to visit – as an avid traveler, this topic spoke to me.
8. Characters on a deserted island (July 22) – I tried to be logical about this topic, but I think I was too excited about being stranded with my favorite book boyfriends. 😛
9. Cover trends I like/dislike (June 24) – Let’s be honest – judging books by their covers is totally permissible.
10. Book covers I’d frame as art (May 6) – I love cover art, and enjoyed letting it shine in this TTT.
*FUN FACT: I tallied the number of times certain books/characters/authors were mentioned across the ten TTTs I chose for this post. The frontrunners included The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (7!), Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling (6), Graceling by Kristin Cashore (6), Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo (5), and City of Bones by Cassandra Clare (5).
Looking forward to future TTTs! What were your favorite TTT topics? Feel free to link to your fave TTT posts in the comments below so I can check them out. 🙂
I love this weeks topic, I’m getting to see so many topics that I have missed. You chose some brilliant topics 🙂 I always love imagining my favourite books as TV shows and movies too!!! Although I always worry that if it happens then they will totally mess it up. I also loved the topic on books I would love to frame as art, that was such a fun post to do. Here’s my TTT if you want to check it out 🙂
Charnell @ Reviews from a Bookworm recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday: My Favourite Top Ten Posts
Thanks, Charnell!! This was a super cool topic. Hard to believe TTT has been going for 5 whole years – and how many bloggers participate! You’re totally right about the book to TV/movie adaptation – there’s always a risk it won’t be done right. Thanks for commenting, and I’d love to check out your TTT 🙂
Great list!! I had a tough time deciding which TTT posts I wanted for this week’s theme.
Lisa @ Captivated Reader recently posted…Top Ten Tuesday — My Ten Favorite Top Ten Topics From The Past 5 Years
Oh, I know! It was somewhat easier for me because I’ve only been participating in TTT for about a year, and I decided to choose from only those topics. But even then, it was so much fun to look back at all the previous topics and decide which I enjoyed the most. Thanks for commenting, Lisa! 🙂
We both did childhood favorites and things we like/dislike about romance. Those two were so fun.
Great list! I loved all the ones you listed.
