Hello readers! It’s time for a Top Ten Tuesday Masterlist. This post will contain every single Top Ten Tuesday post I’ve done on my blog over the years all in one place.
This post will be update on a regular basis every few weeks or so. And, it should be the last one of it’s kind that I do on my blog for a while.
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010 and is now hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week, you pick your top 10 of the topic provided.

- February 4| 2024 New Releases I Didn’t Get To
- I looked back at all the 2024 books I was excited about but didn’t quite manage to read. Life got in the way (as it does), and my TBR grew faster than I could keep up! In this post, I shared 10 books I was really looking forward to, talked about why they originally caught my eye, and reflected on whether I still plan to pick them up. It’s a mix of fantasy, romance, and a few surprise genres.

- June 4| Books I Had VERY Strong Emotions About
- In this post, I shared ten books that made me feel everything. Some of these books broke my heart, others healed it, and a few had me questioning everything I thought I knew. I talked about the specific scenes or themes that hit hardest and reflected on why those emotional reactions stuck with me long after finishing the last page.
- April 9| Longest Books I’ve Ever Read
- I took a look back at the longest books I’ve ever read. Some were worth every page, while others definitely tested my reading stamina. I shared word/page counts, my thoughts on whether they felt as long as they were, and which ones were surprisingly easy (or hard) to get through. It was a fun way to reflect on my endurance as a reader and revisit some epic stories I’ve tackled over the years.
- March 12| Books I’m Too Scared to Reread
- In this post, I talked about books I loved but haven’t dared to reread. Some I’m scared won’t hold up, others left me emotionally wrecked the first time, and a few just feel too sacred to touch again. I shared the reasons behind my hesitation for each one and whether it’s fear of disappointment or the emotional toll. I also reflect on how our relationships with stories can change over time.
- February 6| Favorite Short Books
- I highlighted some of my favorite short books. The quick reads that still manage to pack a punch despite their size. Whether they were novellas, under-300-page novels, or just fast-paced stories, each one made a lasting impression despite its size. I talked about why these shorter reads worked so well for me, and how sometimes less really is more when it comes to storytelling.
- January 30| New to Me Authors
- In this post, I shared ten authors I read for the first time recently and loved enough to want more from. Some were big names I finally got around to, while others were hidden gems I stumbled across by chance. I talked about what stood out in their writing, which books I started with, and whether I plan to explore their backlists. It was fun to celebrate all the fresh voices that made an impact on my reading year.

- December 5| My Favorite Christmas Movies
- I took a little detour from books this week to gush about my favorite Christmas movies! These are the films I reach for every holiday season. Some are nostalgic classics, a few newer favorites, and plenty of cozy, feel-good vibes. I shared what makes each one special to me and why they’ve earned a permanent spot in my December watchlist.
- November 14| Popular Authors I Haven’t Tried
- In this post, I confessed to some big-name authors I still haven’t read despite all the hype. Whether it’s because their books intimidate me, haven’t appealed to my tastes yet, or just keep slipping through the cracks, these are the authors I keep hearing about but haven’t picked up (yet). I shared a bit about why each one’s still on my radar and whether I think I’ll finally give them a try.
- October 3| Last Quarter Reading Goals
- As the year started winding down, I used this post to set some reading goals for the final stretch. I listed ten things I hoped to accomplish before the year ended. For instance, tackling specific books, catching up on series, or meeting personal reading challenges. It was part motivation, part accountability, and a fun way to reflect on what I still wanted to get out of my reading year.
- September 5| Books That Defied My Expectations
- In this one, I talked about ten books that totally surprised me, some in the best ways, and others not so much. Whether I went in with low expectations and ended up loving them, or thought I’d love them and felt let down, each book challenged what I assumed going in. I shared what caught me off guard and how those surprises shaped my overall reading experience.
- July 11| Foodie Books
- For this freebie week, I went with a delicious theme being foodie books! I shared ten stories where food played a big role, whether it was set in a bakery, involved cooking competitions, or just had mouthwatering descriptions that made me crave snacks while reading. These books brought together two of my favorite things: great storytelling and great food.
- June 20| Books on My Summer TBR
- In this post, I shared the ten books I was hoping to read over the summer. Some were seasonal picks with summery vibes, while others were titles I’d been meaning to get to for a while. I talked about why each one made the list and whether it was the genre, the hype, or just a gut feeling that it would be a good summer read.
- June 13| Top 10 Bookish Wishes
- This week was all about bookish wishes, so I shared ten books from my wishlist that I’d love to own or receive as gifts. I included a mix of recent releases and backlist titles I’ve had my eye on, with a little about why each one caught my interest. It was a fun way to dream big and talk about the books I’m most excited to add to my shelves someday.

- (Originally posted on my Wix site in December 2020)
- For this post, I shared ten books I wanted to reread during 2021. These were stories I’d loved the first time around and felt drawn to revisit, whether for comfort, nostalgia, or just to experience them with fresh eyes. I talked about what made each book worth a second read and what I hoped to get out of revisiting them.
