    What a fun topic. Just finding and touching my old "friends" made it worth the effort. I bet you feel that way about your books, too. I've seen several of these titles on your lists before. Super favorites.

    Hi Greg! I remember you talking about The Shark Club. But I still haven't read it...

    Stunning cover for Journey to the center of the earth.

    Happy TTT and sorry I haven't replied last week...!

    Great list. I have a few of these books on my TBR and I'm really looking forward to reading A Closed and Common Orbit. I hope I like it so much I want a physical copy!

    There are some very beautiful covers on this list! For that alone, I could see why you would want to own them.

    Replica! I used to own that book, too. I got it from the Dollar store, if you can believe that. Hardback and everything. I ended up passing it onto a friend who really wanted to read it. You have some pretty covers on your shelves.

  17. BarbSeptember 6, 2022 at 9:34 AM

    It's only fitting that once I start blogging again, I hop over and see The Shark Club. I will always associate that book with you. Man, I really should read it. Maybe I'll do a feature where I read three books some of my favorite bloggers love and do a comparison. That could be fun.

    The Extinction Trials were a library book that I ended up buying.

    Some books are special enough (or make enough of an impact) that you just need a copy of your own.

    What a neat list, Greg. Emilie & The Hollow World and Journey Under the Sea sound interesting. Thanks for sharing.

    I haven't read any of these, not even Journey to the Centre of the Earth. A lot of them are on my TBR, though. I love the cover you chose for Journey and the Thonger one is awesome too! :D

    Great list! I own Journey to the Center of the Earth, too, along with several different movie versions of that book. And I love that you still have a Choose Your Own Adventure book! Those were my favorites to read when I was a kid. :D

    Everytime I see the shark club, I think of a night club that used to be here. I don't think it's open anymore..but it sure looked cool. I hope the drinks were good.

    That cover of Journey to the center of the earth looks great, didn't look like a classic book like the copy I have.

    I used to have a signed copy of Replica, if I have known you wanted a copy, I would have send it to you.

    Have a lovely day.

    Journey to the Center of the Earth is an awesome book. I like anything by Jules Verne.

    Nice that you shortened the topic withoug even changing it. I have only watched Jules Verne's stories. Does that count? ;)

    Thanks for visiting my TTT this week.

    I need to get the rest of the Becky Chambers series for my collection. I have the first two but never picked up the others.

    Journey to the Center of the Earth is on my TBR and I love the Choose Your Own Adventure cover! I was always terrible at them and tended to die very quickly but I could never resist them.

  44. SusanSeptember 11, 2022 at 8:25 PM

    I love seeing the old Choose Your Own Adventure covers! They're so nostalgic. I was a HUGE fan of the series back in the day.

    Happy TTT (on a Sunday)!

    I'm still waiting for a hardcover of Long Way before I buy the rest of the Wayfarer books. The only hardcovers that were printed were a few special editions handed out to publishing people at the drop party. I still have it on my Better World Books wishlist just in case someone doesn't know what they have and donates it. 😅 I wish they would publish a hardcover boxed set. 😐
