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.
Today’s TTT is an interesting one. If you’ve been around for a while, you know I tend to go on when I’m writing a review. It’s definitely why I include an Overall Recommendation section on each review for those who obviously would prefer the cliffnotes version of my thoughts.
So to summarize the last 10 books I’ve read in 1 word? That’s a huge feat.
But I shall attempt to do so nonetheless. If I wrote up a review for this book already, I will also link to it for your comparison (or if the one word piqued your interest enough to take a deeper dive).
Let’s start from the last book I’ve read and move on backwards.

Well, friends, I have no idea if these 10 words helped in any way to fully incorporate the entirety of my feelings for each book, but if you have read some of these, hopefully you understand why I chose some of these words.
And if you haven’t yet read these books, perhaps even a one-word review would provide you with enough of an idea about the stories it holds.
Down the Rabbit Hole 
I think I’m going to order The Cheat Sheet soon! I was in the middle of the Hannah Brown Audio and I’m back on the hold list! Haha. Great job with your words!
My Top Ten!

I thought this was a fun activity though I had a hard time limiting myself to just one word (and sort of failed at it a few times.) One Word Reviews

I have only heard good things about Ali Hazelwood’s books. I really want to give her work a try. That’s too bad about Steelstriker. I really must read Sense and Second-Degree Murder. You did a great job with these!

Thanks Dini! I couldn’t want for the ebooks to publish so I got the subscription for audiobooks just for them 😅 they’re still so good in audiobook format so I know the ebook will hopefully be everything you’re looking for

Interesting one-word reviews. The Song That Moves the Sun has a gorgeous cover and sounds interesting. I’ll definitely check it out when it releases. I’m not a big fan of Hannah Brown, to say the least, so it’s going to be a hard pass on her book.
