Top 10 Tuesday – The Broke & The Bookish Link Up

This week’s topic over at The Broke & The Bookish is Bookish Bucket List!

  1. Create a collection of all essential children and teenage books for my children and nieces and nephews. This would include things like Anne of Green Gables, Tom’s Midnight Garden, Ballet Shoes, all of Judy Blume etc.
  2. Have my own library – a room full of books!
  3. Have a garden swing. I feel like this would be the perfect place to re-read What Katy Did, Little Women and Pollyanna.
  4. In a similar vein, a window seat with big cushions to be my reading nook!
  5. Finish Dr Zhivago!
  6. Finish one of my own stories. It’d feel great to actually complete something.
  7. Become a member of the London Library
  8. Visit the British Library

Didn’t quite make it to 10 this week, but that’s a great place to start. What are your ultimate book goals?

Hey guys! The lovely ladies over at The Broke and the Bookish run a weekly Top 10 Tuesday and I’ll be linking in from now on. This week’s topic? Top 10 Books on My Spring 2014 TBR List (to be read list). My picks below!

  1. The Secret History – Donna Tartt (just finished!)
  2. The Interestings – Meg Wolitzer
  3. That Summer – Sarah Dessen
  4. The Creative Habit – Twyla Tharp
  5. Bring up the Bodies – Hilary Mantel
  6. The Circle – Dave Eggers
  7. Girls in White Dresses – Jennifer Close
  8. The Summer I Turned Pretty – Jenny Han
  9. Cupcakes & Kalashnikovs – Various
  10. The Luminaries – Eleanor Catton

2, 5, 6 and 10 are all in hardback. And not short, either. I don’t think I’m going to manage to take them on my commute, so might be ones I read in some time off. Do you think it’s acceptable to ask for additional annual leave to catch up on your reading list?

Wish me luck!
