Top Ten Tuesday | Rainy Day Reads

 


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

What are some great rainy day reads? Instead of listing books, I thought I will list the type of stories I like to read on a rainy day.

1. I like a short story to pass the time (for just a few hours).
2. I like a short cute contemporary romance that makes me gush.
3. I like a gripping world building story that makes me jump in my seat and burst in a wide smile.
4. I like a story that makes me laugh uproariously with tears streaming down my face.
5. I like a story that makes me cry for hours unable to dry my tears.
6. I like a story that makes me immediately dial up a fellow reader and try to get them to read with me.
7. I like a story that completely exceeds all expectations.
8. I like a story that makes me sigh.
9. I like a story that is outside the box.
10. I like a story not read by many.

Happy reading.

Top Ten Tuesday | Outrageous Things I’ve Done for the Love of Books






Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.  This week's topic: Outrageous Things I’ve Done for the Love of Books (i.e. skip meals, camped outside a bookstore, broke up with someone because they don’t like books, etc...)

Hahaha... yeah these are true situations...

1. I've requested vacation time months in advance in anticipation for a book release (so I can stay home for the week and consume the book).
2. I've called out sick the next day when I couldn't put down a book the night before.
3. I've read 48 hours straight on a weekend with only a few minutes of rest in between bathroom and water breaks.
4. I've read pages while waiting at a stop light.
5. I'd buy an audiobook just to play it during my shower then switch back to the book when I get out of the shower.
6. I've gone to work the next day without sleeping only to read again the following night and attend work sleepless the following day.
7. I'd read a book at a very fast pace just to finish the book before everyone else in case of fans spoiling it on social media.
8. I would stay off social media the week before and during an anticipated book release.
9. If a friend disagrees with the overall opinion of a book, we would not speak with each other for weeks.
10. If a friend likes the movie over the book, we would not speak to each other for weeks.
