Top Ten Books I'm Thankful For

  

 Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week a new Top Ten list will be posted. Everyone is welcome to join. Link back to The Broke and the Bookish so everyone can check out other bloggers' lists. It's a fun way to get to know fellow bloggers.

This week is Top Ten Books I'm thankful for. An interesting topic- kinda thought provoking- this could go so many ways, there are so many. So this is just ten that come to mind- I'm sure I'll think of others after I'm done. :) 
 

A Dance with Dragons (A Song of Ice and Fire, #5)

I could probably put the whole series in here, but I'm going with the most recent book because it may be my favorite. So many cool things happening. 

The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet (Wayfarers, #1)


A Princess of Mars (Barsoom, #1)


Planet of Exile


Big Little Lies


The Shark Club 

The Lord of the Rings (The Lord of the Rings, #1-3)

Fangirl.  

All Systems Red (The Murderbot Diaries, #1)

The Black Island (Tintin, #7)

I love the Tintin's.

  4. I am a stedfast Moriarty fan. She consistently delights me with her wonderful storytelling, and I am also thankful to have picked up that first book by her. Rainbow Rowell is a favorite of mine. I rank her adult novels above her YA/NA books, but still love them all. I have seen so many glowing review for Chambers' book. I really need to check it out. Great list and I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

    1. I agree, Moriarty is awesome. Big Little Lies really affected me as I enjoyed the characters and story so much. Rainbow is an author I need to read more of!

  5. Love how varied your list is, Greg. Wasn't surprised to see a GRR Martin or Tolkien books listed. :) I enjoy Rainbow Rowell but Fangirl wasn't my favorite. That would be a toss-up between Eleanor & Park and Attachments. Enjoyed your list!

    1. Thanks Tanya. It would be a funny list if I neglected MArtin or Tolkien. :) And both of those books- Eleanor & Park and Attachments- are on my list to read!

  21. Heard of this a lot on my TBR, one day! Great list

  22. I knew I'd see GoT on here and was pretty sure The Small Way to a Small Angry Planet would be here too. Great lost and quite a few of these are on my TBR. Hope your recovery is going super!

    1. Thank you Barb!! Yeah I had to include those...

  23. I don't think I'd be able to choose 1 book from ASoIaF; I'd have to go with the whole series, LOL.

    I'm sorry this is so belated, but it's so great to see you back, Greg! Hope you're doing well! :-)

    1. Thank you Lee! Hope you're well. And I agree- I almost picked the whole series too.

  24. Oooh great picks! I have only read one of these so far (Long Way to a Small Angry Planet) but I want to read so many of them. I keep waiting for All Systems Red to be a Kindle Daily Deal, I feel like it will be. And I bought the Shark book! And Big Little Lies and Fangirl I need to read too. So many books, so little time. And you know my feelings on George needing to get his shit together before I read his books- but you keep tempting me by how much you love them!

    1. All systems Red is good, nice and short- hope you get a chance to read it soon! And yay for the Shark book! Hope you don't hate it. :) Big Little Lies is so fun. The dialogue sparkles. And yes George *sigh*

  25. Great choices. I loved FanGirl. Hope you and your family have a great Thanksgiving. Sending good thoughts for continued recovery!

  26. Definitely some great books to be thankful for. Especially series like ASoIaF that you can savor for a long time, or books like Tintin you can return to again and again :)

    Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

  27. It was only recently that I figured out that Burroughs wrote more than Tarzan. ;) Neat to see him on your list.

  28. Big Little Lies got me reading and blogging again last year so I should be thankful for that one too! Great list! :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. So many great books on your list! I really need to continue on with ASOIAF. :)

  30. Some great looking books. I'm only really familiar with a couple of them

  31. Though she's popular in nearly all of the blog circles I'm in/blogs I read, I've not read any of Rainbow's books. (With exception to a novella and I really liked that too.) Someday I should remedy this.

    Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland, Greg. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

  32. The Long Way was certainly a big winner for me! I am thankful you kept posting about it so it stayed on my radar. I am hoping to do a buddy read of the LotR books with Baz next year. He has never read them and I have never re-read them. My senior year in high school was a loooooooong time ago. Ha ha.
