10 comments on Top ten books I randomly grabbed

Top Ten Tuesday is a bookish meme originally created by The Broke and the Bookish and currently hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is “10 books I randomly grabbed off my shelf”.

I don’t have all my books with me, so I just went through my list on my laptop scrolling randomly and seeing what my cursor landed up on, so it’s a real mixture.

I ended up with four books I hadn’t read yet and six books I have read! The first four books below I have yet to read, and all the others I’ve read!

Happiness Falls by Angie Kim
The Water Margin by Shi Nai'an
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Imperial China 900-1800 by F. W. Mote
Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman
Modern Romance by Aziz Ansari
Clean Sweep by Ilona Andrews
The Island of Adventure by Enid Blyton
Night Owls by Jenn Bennett
Uprooted by Naomi Novik

Have you read any of these books?

    I’ve not read any of these, but just from the covers I might investigate some of them a bit more.

    Here’s a link to my TTT post

          Herland is really interesting – it’s fairly readable but also a great study of feminist thought at the time period.

          Uprooted and Night Owls are quite entertaining, I read them a while ago but remember enjoying them both!

      I hear a lot about it but it’s somehow intimidating (sigh).

        I think it’s the front cover – it looks super-serious.

    I’ve read HAPPINESS FALLS, but that’s it from your list. THE SECRET HISTORY is one I want to read. *Sigh* So many books, so little time…

    Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!
