Welcome to another TTT! This week’s topic is a bit of a game. Stand in front of your book collection, close your eyes, point to a title, and write it down. If you have shelves, point to your physical books. If you have a digital library, use a random number generator and write down the title of the book that corresponds with the number you generated. You get bonus points if you tell us whether or not you’ve read the book, and what you thought of it if you did! I have limited bookshelf space, so everything on it is either a book I loved and want to keep forever or one I hope to love. I’ve closed my eyes and selected my books, and am dividing them up between those two categories.
Books I Loved
Sleigh Bells In the Snow by Sarah Morgan
The Diamond Eye by Kate Quinn
Cress by Marissa Meyer
Well Traveled by Jen DeLuca
Books I Hope to Love
Juliet by Anne Fortier
The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig
The Essex Serpent by Sarah Perry
The Duke Heist by Erica Ridley
Nala’s World by Dean Nicholson
Some Like It Scandalous by Maya Rodale
Have you read any of the ones I haven’t? Do they deserve to stay in my collection?
Do we share any favorites?
I’ve heard nothing but great things about Kate Quinn a The Diamond Eye is on my TBR!
Great list, Jana. I still need to read Cress. It is on my overloaded wish list.
I think Jen and Marissa are the only two authors I recognize this week. This was a super fun topic and game this week. :)
Sorry I’ve accidentally added my link twice this week – and one is for an old one!
OOh nice picks! The majority of my “read” books are in storage, so I basically chose from TBR shelves for this topic!
Here’s my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
I have not read any of the ones you shared. This was a fun prompt! Have a great week.
Cress is one of my favorites <3. And I also have The Essex Serpent in my tbr
A Jen DeLuca book ended up on my list this week, too!
I’m actually reading the Pink Carnation series right now! If you want historical romance that’s actually plausible, it’s probably not for you, but if you just want a lighthearted romp, it’s a fun book and series!
Sometimes that’s exactly what I want! It sounds like so much fun. :)
The Lunar Chronicles series is so fun! It’s one I recommend often to both kids and adults.
Kate Quinn is an author I haven’t tried yet, amazingly. I own several of her books – just haven’t read them yet!
Happy TTT!

I haven’t heard of any of these books again, I’m always discovering new books here! I hope you love the ones you still have to read x
Hi Jana! I love your TTT game this week. It’s a unique way to choose books and see what’s on your shelves. I’ve read a few of the titles you mentioned, and Cress by Marissa Meyer was definitely a favorite of mine. I hope you enjoy the books in your “hope to love” category as well. Happy reading!
This sure has enlightened me more about this specific aspect. Thank you!
