Top Ten Tuesday; Fantasy Novels I Wish I Could Read Again for the First Time

It's Tuesday and perhaps time for a new Top Ten Tuesday, courtesy of The Artsy Reader Girl. The theme of the week was books I wish I could read again for the first time and I decided narrowing it down to fantasy novels.


Here's my picks.

The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern

The Shapeshifters by Stefan Spjut

Murder in Absentia by Assaph Mehr

The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden

    I am not a fantasy reader, but I recently made and exception and read Jody Hedlund's Come Back To Me and LOVED it. I love the cover of Thief of Cahraman. Here is my link this week: https://cindysbookcorner.blogspot.com/2021/08/top-ten-tuesday-reread-for-first-time.html

    Great list! I'm not a huge fantasy reader, but I have read Aru Shah and the End of Time. I loved it. Sadly, I haven't picked up the rest of the series yet.

    When you get the chance, I hope you stop over at my blog and take a read: https://readbakecreate.com/10-books-i-would-love-to-see-as-a-movie/

Annoncing the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As it's 2023 in less than two months, I figured out it was time to annouce the 2023 Diversity Reading Challenge. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADHD and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors with chronic health issues Characters/authors in wheelchairs Characters/autho
