Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week we are discussing the books we are planning to read this spring! I can't believe spring is almost here, but honestly I am so ready because Maine's winters are rough and I am absolutely over it. Granted, I hate the hot weather so really I am just never happy 😂 but seriously, I am excited for the spring.  However, I don't think I'll have ten books on this list. There's a great chance I'll read ten books, but I don't want to slap books on this list just to hit the ten book mark. So these are the books I'm planning on picking up, but I'll probably have others I'll be inspired to read that I don't even know about yet.

Let's jump into my TBR!

[Top Ten Tuesday] Reads That Gave Me Book Hangovers

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week we are talking about books that have resulted in a book hangover. A book hangover is defined as: "a condition in which attachment to a book or series that has ended causes the reader traumatic emotional distress. It usually lats for one or two weeks or until a new book of higher-than-average quality enters the reader's life". This list was a bit of a harder one to put together because I typically don't have issues moving onto a new book, no matter how much I loved the one I finished because I get all of my thoughts and emotions out while writing my review. However, these are recent-ish (in the past year or so) reads that made me so emotional it took longer than normal to pick up the next book, even if that is only a handful of days or so.

A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about some of my favorite love quotes but I decided to also pair them with my wedding photos! My husband and I got married last October and I haven't made a post highlighting any of my favorites. I showed some in a monthly wrap-up but I wanted a post dedicated to some of them! I absolutely adore quotes about love, and use them often in Instagram posts so this was really fun to do.

So let's jump into some of my favorite book love quotes!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about books on my TBR that I predict will be five star reads! Obviously, who knows if I am right but fingers crossed that I am! I don't have too much to say about each book, mostly because I am running on gut feeling and overall praise from the reading community. However, I will make sure to share the synopsis of each book because that's a huge aspect of why I am so sure it'll be a five star read.

This week we are talking about 2020 book releases with gorgeous covers that stick out to me in particular!

Let's jump in and talk about my list!

[Top Ten Tuesday] Recent Additions To My Bookshelf

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about books I recently added to my bookshelf. Whether that be physical books or e-books.Typically, I wouldn't have many books to add to this list, because I don't buy a lot of books for myself. However, I was lucky to be gifted quite a lot of books at the end of the year, so I cannot wait to read these! Because I haven't read them, I don't have much to say about them, but I'll be sure to not only link their Goodreads pages, but I'll add teach synopsis as well.

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about books I'm really excited to read this autumn! October is a big month for me, considering I am getting married (!!!)  on the 12th. So this TBR may be a bit too ambitious, but my soon-to-be husband (ahhh) is taking two weeks off work after the wedding for our stay-cation. So we may have a lot of reading time! But we may also make plans, so we will see! Also, I am going into most of these pretty blind and based off the summaries on Goodreads. Which means I don't have too much to say about them, so I'll put the summaries after each cover!

Let's jump into this ambitious TBR!

[Top Ten Tuesday] Borrowed Books I Want To Own

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. However, I only want to do the prompts that I am genuinely excited for, so that will determine if I have one up each week or not. This week I am talking about books I have borrowed from my local library, loved, and now want to own for my personal collection. I have such a long list of books because I almost completely get any new books from my library.

So lets jump in!

There are some book tropes that I really don't like, and if you're interested I could do a part two and talk about the tropes I dislike. But in this post I talk about tropes that motivate me even more to pick up the books that include these tropes.

[Top Ten Tuesday] Auto-Buy Authors

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about books I will automatically buy or pre-order because of the author!

It was hard for me to think of a handful, because honestly I don't buy books often. So I am cutting this one a little short. Which sucks because it's my first Top Ten Tuesday post in three months, but I don't want to lie and add authors I don't auto-buy. I hope one day I am able to be more generous about what books I spend my money to pre-order but until then these authors are the authors currently who write the books I will probably always automatically pre-order.

[Top Ten Tuesday] Rainy Day Reads

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about ten of my favorite rainy day reads! Personally, I think reading while it's raining is the perfect way to read so all books are rainy day reads. However, there are ones in particular  I think are the best to read when it's raining outside and these are ten of the ones I could think of!

Let's jump right into it!

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about ten songs that remind me of specific songs! This is a blog topic I have been thinking about for a while so I was really excited to see that we had an audio freebie as this week's post! There will probably be spoilers for each of these books but I will try to be as vague as possible so it makes as little sense as possible to someone who hasn't read them! But read with caution.

So let's jump into the songs!

[Top Ten Tuesday] Spring 2019 TBR

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about ten books I plan on reading this spring! These are all ones I am almost positive I will be reading (or attempting to read) in the next few months so hopefully the reviews for each of them will be also be up as I finish them! I am vaguely dividing this post with six new (to me) books that I own and four books I plan on re-reading. Because I own (or will own) all of these books in the Spring I am almost certain I'll be picking them up!

[Top Ten Tuesday] Characters I'd Like To Switch Places With

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about ten characters I'd like to switch places with if I could. This was a hard one because a lot of the books I read the characters are put into not great situations! So I may have to explain with a bit more detail with some of these. I tried to get a photo of each character but some of them were impossible to find because they weren't as well known.

A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about ten books that I really enjoyed but have less than 2K reviews on Goodreads! These are definitely books I think deserve more attention because I found them so enjoyable.
