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.
I’m becoming a broken record but it’s just been pretty hectic in my life to post consistently on this blog. I hate that I’m neglecting this wonderful community but at the same time, I’ve barely been reading and can hardly keep up at times.
Thank you for those of you who still stop by. It means a whole lot to me. I hope everyone’s September is going well.
This week’s TTT is all about those geographical terms. I wanted to be *extra* and find 1 title per geographical term. Let me know how you thought I did!
- Landry Park by Bethany Hagen
- A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross
- Ash Princess by Laura Sebastian
- The Emerald Sea by Richelle Mead
- Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery
- City of Lost Souls by Cassandra Clare
- Firefly Beach by Luanne Rice
- The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager
- The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling
- The Assassin and the Desert by Sarah J. Maas
Did you come up with very different titles to fit this topic? Or did we use some of the same?
Down the Rabbit Hole 
Firefly Beach sounds like exactly the kind of book I love. I’m a total sucker for a romance with a family drama subplot. Great choices this week!
And as someone who unexpectedly took several months away from blogging, don’t worry. Everything will still be here when you have time/want to get back to it.

Firefly Beach definitely has those vibes! I read it years ago and it’s still my fav book by Luanne Rice.
And thanks for the encouragement! It’s been a bit rough lately but I’m trying not to beat myself up too much. I hope your break from blogging was refreshing at least.

I had a very difficult time with this task this week. Apparently I don’t read many books with geographical terms. My list this week

It’s harder than I anticipated too! Took me a little longer to collate this list.

I love this prompt, I never even paid attention to geographical terms in the titles on my shelf! The first book I can spot from my desk right now is Ghost Town by Kevin Chen, so I at least found one 😂

Ooo yes. I can’t believe I didn’t even add a book with the word “town” in it. You’re already doing great 😝

Interesting picks! I have A River Enchanted but I’ve yet to read it and The Jungle Book should’ve been the most obvious choice for this theme but it didn’t cross my mind at all 😀

I hope you enjoy A River Enchanted! I really loved the setting and set up for book 2.
And no worries! The Jungle Book popped up on my mind almost last for this list so clearly it’s easily overlooked 😂

A great selection. I too am struggling to find the time to read and blog. With my son starting school, but only going in for half days at the moment, my day goes really quickly! I then can’t stay up reading as late as I used to because I have got to get up and out for school! Hopefully I will get into a new routine once he goes full time next week.
Have a great week!

Aww sorry to hear that, Emily. I hope next week will go better once that new schedule is set. It’s definitely harder with kids at times to prioritize reading and blogging. But I’m sure your son will appreciate all that you do for him (one day).

I hope so. I have a few Blog Tours coming up! I try to do it all when he is either eating or sleeping – now I am up and down from school within a short period of time and then with the earlier mornings my reading time has vanished. Hopefully when he is there full time I will have the time!!

Nice list and selection of titles. I also picked a Mortal Instrument book, but my pick was City of Glass. The Assassin and the Desert is a great pick.

Great list! I was also extra and found one book per term 😂 but the seas and cities dominated my read list! I still haven’t read River Enchanted but it’s high up on my TBR cos I’ve heard good things about it.

Yes there were so many books with Sea and City in their titles interestingly. Lol high five for being a little extra 😝 gotta keep things interesting for myself sometimes. I hope you love A River Enchanted! It definitely has great potential for the rest of the series with the world built so far.

I’m thoroughly impressed! I definitely did not find that many different terms on my list!

I hope things slow down for you soon. Posting a couple of times a week isn’t bad, though. I only manage about three.
Anne of the Island is such a classic read.

I found this topic too difficult as I really haven’t read too many books with geographic terms in the title, so I went in a different direction this week!
