Top Ten Tuesday is featured by That Artsy Reader Girl. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Topic: Book Covers In the Colours of My Country’s Flag (It’s the 4th of July in the USA today, so tell us what country you live in and share book covers that match the colors of your country’s flag!)
I am English so my flags colours are red, white and blue!
Red
White
Blue
What would be yours?
I’m in England and we don’t have Independence Day here but wanted to wish all my American friends a happy day.
I hear you celebrate with fireworks, food, and family and I can’t think of anything better!
Have a great day!
I love it when a book completely hooks you in, you fall in love with the story, and when you’ve finished, you feel exhilarated!
So I decided to make a list of them! I’ve read 92 books so far this year, and these are the ones I’ve loved (not necessarily released this year, I read then!)
One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig
Violet Made of Thorns by Gina Chen
Secretly Yours by Tessa Bailey
Ink Blood Sister Scribe by Emma Torzs

BEAT THE BACKLIST CHALLENGE
Do you have books on your to-read list that already released? Do you struggle to get to those backlist books with all the new releases each year? Do you enjoy relaxed reading challenges you can do at your own pace? Then it’s time to beat your backlist!
Join in with Novelknight’s 2023 challenge! It’s not too late!
I set my goal at 20 with the caveat that these must be on my actual tbr with a date before 31 December 2022 and not bought/borrowed before this date!
At the end of March I had read 12 backlist books so wondered if I needed to up my goal. You can see my 1st update here.
I’m not going to set a new goal but just keep on chipping away at my tbr to see where I can get by the end of year!
Here are some of the books I’ve read in the last quarter from my backlist:
