Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
How it works:
I assign each Tuesday a topic and then post my top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join me and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.
You’ll find the schedule of upcoming TTT topics below so you can plan ahead. I’ll post a Linky here on the blog each week so you can link up your post (if you want). If you don’t have a blog, post your picks in the comment section below! Or if you prefer Insta, YouTube, Tiktok, etc. then feel free to link to your content there! Have tons of fun talking books and getting to know your fellow bloggers!
NOTE: If a weekly topic is listed as a “freebie”, you are invited to come up with your own topic. Sometimes I will give the freebie topic a theme, such as “love”, a season, or an upcoming holiday. That just means that you can come up with any topic you want that fits under that umbrella.
You’re more than welcome to use the Top Ten Tuesday image I designed above (or any of my older/seasonal ones), or make your own that fits your site’s theme.
Upcoming Top Ten Tuesday Topics:
July 21: Books That Live in My Head Rent-Free (submitted by Emma @ damppebbles.com)
July 28: Books I HAD to Have Immediately but Still Haven’t Read (this is a throwback topic from 2022)
August 4: Cover Freebie (Pick any topic related to book covers. You can make up your own topic or pick one from the list of previous ones!)
August 11: Books I Was Reading On This Day Over the Last Ten Years (Stolen from Anne @ HeadFullofBooks) (This might be tricky if you don’t use a reading tracker like Goodreads, but the idea is to share what you were reading on August 11th of 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, and 2016. If you have no idea, pick a book you loved that you read at any time during each of the last ten years. And if you still have no idea, pick a book you loved that was published during each of the last ten years. Make this work for you!)
August 18: Book Series I Want to Catch Up On (or series you’d like to start)
August 25: Bookish Places I’ve Visited (Share all the cool places you’ve been that are bookish or tied to books! This includes neat libraries, book stores, places featured in books, places inspired by books, author homes/places they’ve stayed, etc. You can also share your bucket list of the bookish places you’d like to visit someday.) (submitted by Susan @Bloggin’ ’bout Books)
September 1: Books With Nationalities In The Title (e.g. The French Lieutenant’s Woman, Mexican Gothic, An American Mariage, etc.) (submitted by Cathy @WhatCathyReadNext)
September 8: Indie Freebie (This topic encompasses a lot: your favorite indie bookstores, indie books, indie authors, indie publishers/presses, indie books on your to-read list, indie authors I read before they became traditionally published, etc.) (submitted by @dark.shelf.of.wonders and Books Are The New Black)
September 15: Authors I’ve Met
September 22: Books on My Fall 2026 To-Read List (or Spring if you live in the Southern Hemisphere)
September 29: Fall-Themed Freebie (or Spring if you live in the Southern Hemisphere)
October 6: Books that Bring Me Happy Memories (Feel free to tell us about those memories if you’d like!)
October 13: Book Covers Featuring Autumnal Colors (submitted by Wordy Witterings)
October 20: Things That Make Up My Perfect Day (Share the people, places, activities, foods, circumstances, etc. that make a day perfect for you. Go into as much or as little detail as possible!)
October 27: Halloween Freebie

Looking forward to a new home – so glad you took over the fun!
Thank you! :) I’m excited!
Looking forward to coming over here!
I’m so glad! :)
Would love to join this, as I have been reading the posts from other bloggers for years now for Top Ten Tuesday. I may not be able to do every prompt but I look forward to getting some done (at least one a month) to change things up on Bookluvrs Haven.
Thank you for hosting!
TTT is wonderful, and such a fun way to get to know other bloggers. :) I hope you do join the fun! It’s totally fine if you don’t do each prompt. Whatever works best for you. Hope to see you soon! :)
Hi Jana, I’m Lili… Nice to meet you.. I’ve already posted few TTT and enjoyed them.. looking forward to more interactions with you. :)
Hi Lili! Nice to meet you too! I’m so glad you enjoy TTT, and I’m looking forward to chatting with you soon! :)
Thank you so much for hosting Jana. I love TTT. Happy to see it continuing.
I’m so glad you love TTT. I’m so happy that I get to keep running it even though we’re shutting down TB&TB.
Oh wow, these prompts sound so amazing!!!!
Thank you! I’m really excited about them. :)
GREAT list! Question: is Best Character Names ones we make up or from existing books?
When I came up with the topic I was thinking of ones from existing books, but you can spin it and make up your own as well!
I only recently found the Top Ten Tuesday and we are excited to be linking up with you :) Congratulations on becoming the new home for the Top Ten Tuesday!
Thank you! And welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! It’s a fun meme, and I’m excited you’ll be joining in!
Ahhh congrats on adopting Top Ten Tuesday! I look forward to continuing participating in the meme, and I love the new header that you made!
Thank you!
Thank you for taking on TTT. I’m glad it will continue, even though I only post about half the time. I always enjoy reading other people’s posts, though!
It can definitely be hard posting each week, but I’m glad you’ll be joining sometimes. :)
Yay for a new TTT home! Congrats! And I’m excited to see this continue – it’s such a huge help for blogging topics. I’d be toast without it:)
I’m glad you enjoy TTT so much! It makes it much more fun for me to host it. :)
Hi Jana! First time TTT poster here, having just posted my first on my blog! Looking forward to blogging with the rest of the prompts!
Welcome, Layla! I’m so glad you’re going to join us!
I am in starting next week!
Welcome to the TTT club!
I loved this initiative! I just joined and made my first TTT!
I’m super excited ^^
→ https://homeofindieauthors.wordpress.com/2018/01/09/top-ten-tuesday/
Ps: I will slowly check out all the blogs taking part in this ;)
Yay! I’m so glad you’re joining us! Hope you have fun. :)
I also have been following other bloggers TTT posts for a while. Thank you for hosting, I’m looking forward in taking part this Tuesday.
So glad you’ll be joining us!
Glad you are continuing the fun. I just went to get a jump start on this weeks and saw it was closed and got sad until I read further and saw the new home! Yay. Are you creating your own/new icon?
I’m excited to be continuing things! Yes, my new TTT icon is the yellow, orange, and coral one at the top of this post. Anyone is free (and encouraged) to use it! :)
So glad TTT still exists. Why is TB&TB shutting down??
We all just decided that our lives had gotten too busy and we were all going in so many different directions that it was time. It was getting harder and harder to connect and post regularly. :)
I’ve just discovered this and I’m already excited :D I’ve been looking for some new ideas for blog posts and I definitely love a list! I hope I can join in the fun :)
I hope you join us! It’s definitely a lot of fun, and is a wonderful way to make new friends and gain exposure to your own blog. :)
I’ve been doing TTT for the past few weeks and it’s been so much fun! So glad it’s continuing and loved doing the theme for this week.
I’m glad you enjoy TTT, and that you liked the goals/resolutions topic. :)
Hello new TTT home! I am so glad you are continuing the joy! These look like great prompts!
Thank you! I hope you have tons of fun with them. :)
This looks really fun! I will try and do it every week
Enjoy!
I just started a new blog and was thinking what meme to participate in. Settled on TTT! Very excited to see what others will post next week…. c:
Yay! Welcome to the blogging world, and to TTT!
This looks cool! I’ll try to get some top ten posts going on my blog! Congrats on taking over!
Thank you! I hope you enjoy participating. :)
I just created a book blog and am really excited to participate in Top Ten Tuesday :)
Welcome to the bookish community! I hope you have fun with TTT, and with setting up your new blog. :)
Just discovered this and I love this idea – can’t wait to start participating! :)
Welcome to the TTT club!
I’ve just come across your blog and I love this! I’m
Definitely going to be joining in! :)
I’m so glad! I hope you have fun. :)
This looks like so much fun! I will definitely join in. :-)
Oh! I want to play! oh, look… its Tuesday! count me in :)
What does feb 13’s topic mean?
You make up your own topic that fits the theme of “love”. So you can do anything that has to do with love in honor of Valentine’s Day: favorite romance novels, favorite kissing scenes, favorite anti-love books, favorite hate to love stories, favorite LGBTQ books, book boyfriends/girlfriends, etc. Make sense? :)
It does indeed! Thank you!!
What do you mean by Love Freebies? Like our top ten love books?
I have decided to start participating in TTT.
Here is the link to my blog if you would like to see https://booksaworldinbetween.wordpress.com/ :)
Those are all really good quotes!
This is an AMAZING meme you have going here! I have read so many great posts and found some amazing bloggers along the way thanks to TTT! I think I may even begin to partak myself! Thank you for doing this!
My blog – https://thevagariesofus.com
Thanks for taking over and continuing Top Ten Tuesday! I’ll be participating again soon. Love the topic lists you’ve already come up with.
This sounds amazing! I can’t wait to join in :)
Looks awesome – definitely going to be joining in!
Interested to do this!
This looks like so much fun! I shall definitely be joining in on this awesomeness. I can’t wait for next Tuesday! (My blog: chaptersafterchapters.wordpress.com)
I’m glad you’re on board! Have fun!
I am posting my first TTT on my blog! This is a really great idea and a fab way of keeping people in the book community together! Loving this, can’t wait to keep going! :) (my blog is, http://www.sarah-reads.com)
Welcome to TTT! I’m glad you’ve joined the fun. :) Can’t wait to see more posts from you in the future!
I’m brand new to book blogging so I’ve been searching for some weekly memes to start dabbling in. I think I’ve found the one! Top Ten Tuesday sounds like so much fun! The topics are great and I’m looking forward to participating!
I’m so glad you’ve found a meme that feels like home! I hope you have fun participating each week, and I’m glad you like the topics. :)
I’d love to join! Sounds fun : )
Yay! I hope to see you on the weekly link-ups soon!
I just discovered this and I’M SO EXCITED!!! Can’t wait to join in! Thanks for hosting! :)
Yay! I’m so glad you found me!! Have fun! :)
I’d definitely like to join in on this topic! Can anybody just randomly join?
Hi Colleen! Yes, anyone is welcome to join in at any point! I’m so excited you’d like to join us. :)
Is it too late to join? I’m a new book blogger so I want to practice my writing by participating in challenges whenever I’m stuck!
It’s never too late! Welcome to the book blogging world. :)
This looks like so much fun! I would definitely like to join in! 😊♥️
Looks very fun! Also I’m really bad at coming up with topics to do for my book blog so this makes it a lot easier for me to write more on my blog. I will be joining this! Can’t wait to start, even though its super late haha :)
I hope you have fun! Make sure you link up each week so you get more blog traffic. :)
And it’s never too late! We’ve been doing this for 8 years now, and people come and go all the time. :)
Interesting! May well give this a go now… :)
Hi! How do you do the linky? I want to try and link my blog! Thank you!
Hi! Each week you’ll see the Linky show up on the actual Top Ten Tuesday post here on my blog. You can submit your post’s link there. :)
Hi just found your blog and I love this! Looking forward to doing some!
Hello! Welcome to TTT! :)
Thanks so much for hosting this! I’m really enjoying doing them!
I’m so glad to hear that!
Love this idea! I will be happy to participate, thanks :)
I’m so glad you’re on board! :)
I actually had a lot of books to talk about for this topic. The Hunger Games was a finished series for me, but it was on the DNF list for so long until last year. Thanks for this week’s topic!
I’m so glad it was a good one for you! :)
Thanks for doing this! This sounds like so much fun!
Of course! I hope to see you on the weekly link-ups soon!
We look forward to doing some of these on our blog!
I’m so glad!
Hi! I love these! I just wanted to tell you that the 25th of June is a Monday, not a Tuesday!
Thank you!
I thought I write a TTT too. Might not be on a weekly basis, but as often as I can. Thanks for hosting it now!
Best wishes
Vi @Inkvotary
I’m happy you’re joining the fun! :)
Oiee, I found the TTT in a Brazilian blog and I loved the initiative, I’m going to start publishing my lists tomorrow and I hope to be able to continue faithfully. Great initiative, I’ve already read your blog kisses from Brazil ♥
I’m so glad you’re planning to participate in the fun! I’ll look forward to seeing your posts. :)
This looks like such an awesome group! I’d love to join the party. Do I just link back to this site on my post?
Hi Amanda! I’m so glad you’d like to join us! Yes, all you do is link back to my site when you post each week. Also, every Tuesday when I post my own response to that week’s prompt, my post will include a Linky at the bottom so you can quickly add a link to yours! Then people can come visit you. :)
I’ve been eyeing this weekly meme for quite a while now. I finally decided to join in and participate! :D
So glad to have you!
Hi Jana, I’m loving doing the posts, thank you for all your awesome prompts – just one question though, am I right in thinking August 26th isn’t a Tuesday?
So glad you’re loving participating, Jordanne! And yep, I got my dates wrong again! lol. Thanks!
Looking forward to joining in TTT on my new blog!
Happy to be joining TTT on my blog! I have always enjoyed other bloggers TTT content and hope I can find even more great people in the bookish community!
Great post! We are linking to this great content on our site.
Keep up the good writing.
I love this! This is great sometimes I have no idea what to write about and this is just perfect!
So I’ve finally decided to join in on the bandwagon. Hope to do this every week from now on! :)

This week topic was so fun
https://bookstalebyme.wordpress.com/2018/09/25/ttt-books-by-my-favorite-authors-that-i-still-havent-read/
I love this!! I have seen people do this and now I’ve decided to join the fun. I can’t wait! :D
Will You be doing a TTT post about our Top Ten favorite books read in 2018?? Like maybe at the start of 2019??
Yes! It’s on my schedule for January 1, 2019. I just haven’t updated the schedule here yet. :)
I would like to join in on the fun. This is a great way to reach out and find other bloggers.
Here my post for this week topic https://mybookreiews.blogspot.com/2018/12/ttt-top-ten-tuesday-cozy-wintry-reads-1.html
Interesting topics! Hope I remember to stop back for a few :)
can’t wait to start doing this! Thank you
Some great ideas here! I might decided to join in on one of these!
I might join in on a couple of these! Thanks!
Just posted my first TTT in about 2 years! Please go check it out :) https://kirstysbookblog.wordpress.com/2019/01/15/top-ten-tuesday-new-to-me-authors-i-read-in-2018/
Hi! I just posted my very first TTT here: https://areadertowhateverend.wordpress.com/2019/01/15/top-10-tuesday-new-to-me-authors-i-read-in-2018/
I’m very new to blogging and this was actually one of the things that made me want to start, all the wonderful memes, tags, challenges and discussions with other lovely bloggers. Looking forward to getting to know you all better!
Welcome to the book blogging community, and to TTT! I’m so glad you felt inspired to join. :) Make sure you link up on my actual Top Ten Tuesday post each week so that bloggers will know where to find you!
Oh, yes! I’ll do that, thank you! 🙂
Hi Jana, I just wanted to check for next week’s prompt, is it the latest 10 books added to the TBR pile on my actual physical shelves or the wishlist of books I want to read but need to buy first?
Hello! Sorry for my delayed response. I had stomach flu all last week. The beauty of TTT is that you can interpret the prompt however you want to! Either of the interpretations you mentioned would have been perfectly fine for today’s post. I chose the 10 most recent additions to my Goodreads to-read list, whether I owned them already or not. :)
I went with the 10 most recent additions to my physically owned TBR pile..but thanks for replying! And I’m so sorry! I hope you’re feeling better now, take care, Jana! 💗

I’ve just started participating in Top Ten Tuesday, it’s definitely making me think about my books!
Hi! You could do a TTT on “books that correspond to your Hogwart House” or something of the kind! :) I think it could be very fun but most importantly interesting to see everyone’s recommendations :)
Woops I just noticed there is a form for that … feel free to erase my comments :)
How lovely to see that Top Ten Tuesday is still alive. I will certainly join again. Thank you.
Here is my top ten books in my favourite genre fantasy. https://bookwormsanonymous.blog/2019/06/04/top-10-tuesday-books-from-my-favourite-genre/

https://bookwormsanonymous.blog/2019/06/18/top-10-tuesday-most-anticipates-releases-for-the-second-half-of-2019/
Hello! I’d like to join this marvellous weekly thing :D I can’t promise I’ll manage it EVERY week, but I’ve enjoyed it on so many of my favourite blogs that now that I have one of my own, I want to try it too! Do I need to do anything more formal than saying so here (other than linking back to this post in my TTT posts?)
No Linky form today ?
My Top Ten Tuesday is Bookish Confessions @ https://thephantomparagrapher.blogspot.com/2019/07/top-ten-tuesday-bookish-confessions.html
Cheers, Paula @ The Phantom Paragrapher
I just created a Top Ten Tuesday. Such a fun idea! https://delightfulnarratives.com/2019/07/30/top-ten-tuesday-books-that-made-me-swoon/
https://lisasbooksgemsandtarot.wordpress.com/2019/09/10/top-ten-tuesday-10-9-19/
We are a new blog and this just sounds so much fun!
Thank you for this list!
https://www.weallreaddownhere.com/post/fall-2019-tbr
Just found this! It sounds like so much fun. I’m rather new to the blogging stuff so still figuring my way out. Can’t wait to take part!
We are a brand new blog and cannot wait to participate in our first ever Top Ten Tuesday. What a fun feature! We look forward to all the amazing posts tomorrow!
I love these posts and I’ve always meant to join, maybe this is my week!
hi im zoey laverne go to my tiktok its @Zoey_Laverne❤❤❤❤❤
Hey I’m just wondering what you mean by ‘Love Freebie’ on 2/11?
If a weekly topic is listed as a “freebie”, you are invited to come up with your own topic. Sometimes I will give your topic a theme, such as “love”, a season, or an upcoming holiday. That just means that you can come up with any topic you want that fits under that umbrella. :)
Have you done ‘Books with really long titles’ as a topic yet? That would be a good one.
How I can submit my book for review?
Hi Jana. I love this idea. I just got my blog up a week ago and just did the TTT.
Looking forward in participating in top 10 tuesdays! started book blogging now and this is one of the posts I want to do. Thank you for making these Jana!
will be participating!! Sounds amazing
Love the idea of top ten tuesday, so many good prompts to choose from. Thanks for sharing! I’ll try and get involved with some of these over on my blog:)
I’m happy to have you as a part of the TTT fun!
Yay! So excited to be participating for the first time, next week. Such cool prompts.
Thanks so much for hosting. Love this! <3
Are we gonna do most anticipated releases for the second half of 2020?
If you look at the schedule above, you’ll see that exact topic (even identical wording. lol) is already scheduled for June 30. :)
Augh Covid Brain, I’ve even already drafted it. Sorry <3
No need to apologize! I understand Covid brain very well. :)

Hi Christine! If you’d like to link up to my weekly topics with everyone else, just visit the main page of my blog every Tuesday! You’ll see my TTT for the week there, and there’s.a linky at the bottom of each post where you can paste yours so it appears in the list of participants. :)
Where is the linky?
HI ! i RECENTLY SAW THIS MEME on your blog really excited to participate …so do I link the post to this page ?
Hi! Every Tuesday, my TTT will be the top blog post here. Just click the “Home” button at the top of my blog in the blue menu bar. You’ll see this week’s topic right there. Scroll to the bottom of that blog post and you’ll see a list of everyone who has linked up. You link up your post right there. :)
Ok thanks ! I did that just finished writing the post ! Hope you like reading it . Had lots of fun doing it
It’s been years since I’ve participated! Planning to come back. <3
This looks like so much fun! I’ve been trying to think of cool ideas to get my followers more involved… and then I came across this. Looks like a great way to meet more book lovers too. 🙂 my blog can be found here: http://readramblerepeat.com/ 😊
Hey Jana
I’m excited to participate! Thank you so much for hosting this.
Is this something I can join to receive your posts or notifications about posts? I just discovered this site while looking for books that make smile
Hi, I just started my own blog a few months back and would love to join in on doing this! Do you have a hashtag on Twitter or any way people can find one another when they join in?
Sounds great.
I have two blogs that I keep current. https://lsmoore49.blogspot.com &
https://lindasbookreviews.wordpress.com/
I post all things books on both.
This sounds like fun! Sign me up.
Did you revamp your layout? I can’t see the upcoming topics anymore.
No, a new plugin made everything go crazy apparently! Thank you for letting me know this happened! I hadn’t noticed. I just fixed everything, so you should be good now. :)
I have a question about August 3rd, I just did a post about books I bought because of the covers and I was wondering if when that comes up could I post my link to that post? Or does it have to have been posted on the 3rd? Hope I have made sense. Thanks
That’s fine with me!
This is an amazing way of interacting and reading with fellow bloggers, I will definitely try to post for the April prompts. They sound fun.
Finally Joining Top Ten Tuesday!
Welcome to the family! I hope you have fun!
Hello, would it be ok if I start participating in this on my blog? I’ll link back to your site and credit you, I just wanted to check if it was ok first.
Hi, Hannah! Yes, of course I’d love for you to participate with me! This post actually encourages it, and provides all information for how to do so (namely linking back to me, which you’re already planning to do–thank you!). I attach a link-up tool to my post each week so you can submit your blog to the participants list as well. It might help you get more visitors! Hope you have fun!
Thank you so much! That all sounds really exciting – I can’t wait to get started!
Hi! it’s been a while since I’ve done a TTT and I’m looking to get back into this again and I knew this is something I wanted to get back to. Looking forward to post my first TTT in a long while.
Thank you for keeping this going!
I’m so happy to hear you’re picking TTT up again! Welcome back. :) Hope you have fun!
Thank you so much!
will be participating!! Sounds good
I am starting right now.
Awesome! I had a going on Top Ten Thursday but maybe I’ll just join on Top Ten Tuesday instead – or doing both, if I’m with enough energy. I love doing such posts just because they give a reason to talk to the audience <3
Iron Flame is also on my TBR!
My TTT: https://laurieisreading.com/2023/09/19/top-ten-tuesday-books-on-my-fall-2023-tbr/
I looked at my list for this theme in 2020 and it’s almost the same. XD Still, never a bad idea to be grateful.
Do you have an email list where you send out reminders for the topics :) :)
I don’t, unfortunately. I wish I had a newsletter or something, but I have enough followers that it would be pretty pricey to have an email platform to do it! I recommend you bookmark this page and maybe set a reminder to check periodically. I update the future topics regularly, and try to keep the topics planned three months out. :)
What a great idea!
I love TTT. Only missed one or two times due to sickness. I thought you might enjoy reading my favorite one I did on my blog. Enjoy!
https://musicaladvicewithheidi.wordpress.com/2024/12/31/top-ten-tuesday-book-awards/
I’m so glad to hear you love TTT! Thank you for being such a devoted participant!
Hi! I am here to spread a little summer magic! A few weeks ago Jana asked us to share books we want, here’s mine if anyone wants to spread a little summer magic! And please share your bookwish list so I can spread some summer magic as well! Thanks everyone!
https://musicaladvicewithheidi.wordpress.com/2025/06/10/top-ten-tuesday-book-wishlist/
The link is above! Can’t wait to see what everyone gets everybody! :DDD
Um, the prompt for July 29 is missing.
I’ve fixed it!
Hi Jana, so pleased to meet you. I cam here through lovely Paula blogging at Book Jotter. I’m a Romanian writer living in South Africa. I am looking forward to this week’s Doorstoppers Top Ten :) Thank you for hosting.
Nice to meet you, Patricia! I’m so happy you’ve found TTT and are planning to participate this week! I’ll keep an eye out for your list. I hope you’ll come back and add it to the link-up!
Apologies for my ignorance but, what’s a Linky? I mean, I get that it’s links, but is it a link app or something else?
I use a subscription service that allows me to generate link-up widgets so people can submit their links to my blog posts. If you look at my most recent TTT post, you can see the list of links at the bottom with boxes to submit your own link information. That whole section is the linky widget. “Linky” is short for “linky party”, which is essentially a list of links to blog posts that are all participating in the same thing (a meme, giveaway chain, etc.). Linky parties were extremely popular 10-15 years ago at the height of blogging and are less-so now that more people are using Insta, TikTok, YouTube, etc. I don’t see them much anymore, but the widgets still work for my purposes with TTT!
I took a bit of a hiatus but have come back to blogging and definitely missed doing Top Ten Tuesday the most. Can’t wait to participate in this again!
Woohoo! Welcome back to blogging and TTT! So happy to have you back. :)
Proof that lists + books + people is a formula that somehow never gets old. I always enjoy seeing how the same prompt turns into completely different lists, detours, and mild confessions. Half the fun is noticing the overlaps, the oddballs, and the “oh yeah, that one” moments.
One of my ideas got selected to be a topic! I should definitely make sure I participate in that one, I guess. ;)
Thanks for hosting Top Ten Tuesday!
Yes! Thank you for submitting such a fun topic! After doing this for so many years, my creative juices need help sometimes so I always appreciate when someone submits a suggestion for a topic!
I love the idea of looking for book titles with numbers in them! I’m going to have a look at my bookcase and see if I can find some.
I’ve only just found you but looking forward to seeing more Tuesday Topics
