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. Please check out her website for more TTT topics!

This week’s topic is:
Books That Provide a Much-Needed Escape



- The House at Watch Hill by. Karen Marie Moning – for some paranormal, creepy house, Fall read escape
- The Paradise Problem by. Christina Lauren – a rich people wedding getaway on a private island
- Birding with Benefits by. Sarah T. Dubb – escaped into the world of birding which I knew nothing about!



- A Monsoon Rising by. Thea Guanzon – I definitely escaped into the romance!
- The Thirteenth Child by. Erin A. Craig – I escaped into a dark and magical world.
- The Ever King by. L.J. Andrews – I escaped on a pirating adventure.



- Check & Mate by. Ali Hazelwood – I found myself totally escaping into the high stakes Chess matches!
- Not Another Love Song by. Julie Soto – I definitely escaped in the music and romance the characters were lost in.
- Dungeons and Drama by. Kristy Boyce – escaped into the cute high school romance in this story!

A Novel Love Story by. Ashley Poston – this is a whole escape into a fictional town! Getting lost in a book – literally!

Thanks!
I love when a book unexpectedly gets you into something you wouldn’t otherwise be invested in. Check & Mate sounds like it does just that.
Yes! I love learning things in books and chess is already such an intense game that it made the story quite enjoyable!
Love your picks and the fact that you shared something about each one!
Thanks!
