Books I Wish Had More Romance In Them  | TTT | Top Ten Tuesday 7/30/24

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 I Wish Had More/Less [Insert Your Concept Here] In Them

Books I Wish Had More Romance In Them

I live for romance in books! Here are some books I wish had MORE romance in them.

Check & Mate by. Ali Hazelwood – I LOVED this book but I wish there were more scenes between Mallory and Nolan.

The Break-Up Pact by. Emma Lord needed more romance and less miscommunication.

Heavenbreaker by. Sara Wolf needed lots more romance but I hope we get that in book two.

The Hemlock Queen by. Hannah Whitten – needs less of the love triangle unless it becomes a throuple 😅.

King of Sloth by. Ana Huang loses steam halfway through the book. It’s my least favorite book in this series and definitely needed more romance.

Fate of the Sun King by. Nisha J.Tuli did finally get the romance happening in this book but it would have been nice to get it earlier in the series!

This Summer Will be Different by. Carley Fortune – this one needed less of the drama conflict in the last part of the book. I think it had enough romance.

Just for the Summer by. Abby Jimenez – I felt needed more romance.

Destroy the Day by. Brigid Kemmerer – it had lots of couples but the main ones Corrick and Tessa were apart almost for the whole book! Needed more romance between them.

The Prisoner’s Throne by. Holly Black – I needed more romance between Oak and Wren.

Six in Six | 2024

Six in Six | 2024 Edition

I saw this Six in Six post on Wicked Witch’s Blog and it looked like a fun post that I wanted to try! The original creator of this meme is Jo from The Book Jotter! Definitely check out their blogs by clicking on the links!

Here is a description from The Book Jotter:

“The idea being that as the end of June approaches and we are then halfway through the year, let us share the books we have read in those first 6 months. In fact let’s share 6 books in 6 categories, or if time is of the essence then simply share just 6 books. Whatever combination works for you as long as it involves 6 books. Of course the same book can obviously feature in more than one category.”

Sounds fun and easy right? Let’s get to it!

Six books that feature a colour in the title

  • Black Tide Son by. H.M. Long
  • The Return of Ellie Black by. Emiko Jean
  • Red Tigress by. Amelie Wen Zhao
  • The Indigo Spell by. Richelle Mead
  • The Scarlet Veil by. Shelby Mahurin
  • The Scarlet Alchemist by. Kylie Lee Baker

Six audiobooks I’ve listened to

  • A Fire Endless by. Rebecca Ross
  • The Fake Mate by. Lana Ferguson
  • Warrior Girl Unearthed by. Angeline Boulley
  • When you Wish Upon a Lantern by. Gloria Chao
  • Emily Wilde’s Encyclopedia of Faeries by. Heather Fawcett
  • Carris Soto is Back by. Taylor Jenkins Reid

Six Books with Yellow Covers

  • Heart of the Sun Warrior by. Sue Lynn Tan
  • The Getaway List by. Emma Lord
  • Dial A for Aunties by. Jesse Q Sutanto
  • I’ll be the One by. Lyla Lee
  • As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by. Zoulfa Katouh
  • When the World Tips Over by. Jandy Nelson

Six books that are related to The Great War or Second World War

Six Most recent 5 Star Reads ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  • The Women by. Kristin Hannah
  • Funny Story by. Emily Henry
  • The Last Bloodcarver by. Vanessa Le
  • A Tempest of Tea by. Hafsah Faizal
  • The Blood Years by. Elana K. Arnold
  • As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by. Zoulfa Katouh

Six physical books I have read

  • Dungeons and Drama by. Kristy Boyce
  • Curious Tides by. Pascale LaCelle
  • Heavebreaker by. Sara Wolf
  • The Great Alone by. Kristin Hannah
  • The Prisoner’s Throne by. Holly Black
  • A Court of Thorns and Roses by. Sarah J. Maas

And that’s my Six in Six 2024 edition! This was so easy to do and a nice little post to celebrate 6 months of reading. Thanks for reading!

Keshe Chow – I just read The Girl with No Reflection and it was entertaining so I can’t wait to read more from this author.

Carley Fortune – This Summer Will be Different is the first book I’ve read from this popular author. Can’t say I loved it but I’m still willing to check out another book from her.

Hemant Nayak – A Magic Fierce and Bright is the first book I’ve read from this author and I thought the world-building was fascinating.

Isabel Strychacz – House of Thorns, if I want to read more about sentient houses I’ll definitely try this author again.

Longest Books I’ve Ever Read

Why are books more than 500 pages? I don’t know! 😅 And of course most of these are Sarah J. Maas. I think a perfect book length is 350-400 pages but I know it’s hard to do that with a fantasy.

Books on My Summer 2024 To-Read List

Summer reading list already?! Where has the year gone…seriously…how are we here at mid year? 😭 I’m hoping I get to these books this summer! Even though my kids are off for 2 months, it goes by SO fast. Because I’m not sure what books I’ll actually be getting this summer, I’m showing you what arcs I have to read this summer, plus books I have on my holds list for my online library, and just some books I hope to get eventually.

The Seventh Veil of Salome by. Silvia Moreno-Garcia – this is an arc that I have to read by August so I’m looking forward to it.

Books I Had VERY Strong Emotions About | TTT | Top Ten Tuesday 6/4/24

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 I Had VERY Strong Emotions About

(Any emotion! Did a book make you super happy or sad? Angry? Terrified? Surprised?)

I would say some of these books are very current ones that I have just read but some of this are from a few years back.

As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow by. Zoulfa Katouh – what I felt in this book was horror, grief, a broken heart and also hope

Have you read any of these?
