top ten tuesday – Page 26 – Down the Rabbit Hole

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.

Good morning fellow book lovers! I had a great long weekend here in Canada and am feeling a little bit more refreshed to face the new week. Been learning how to let go of some of the expectations to post often on the blog and keep up to date with my new bookstagram, and just be content with why I started all this in the first place, you know?

Today’s TTT is a great topic. I personally do gravitate towards certain books more based on where they are set, and I definitely buy those books more often because of it.

How many of these do you enjoy as well?

1. Boarding Schools

2. Magical Schools

3. High fantasy lands with proper world building

4. Urban fantasy cities

5. Victorian/Regency Era

6. Early 1900s city

7. School campuses with secret societies

8. Abroad (aka outside of North America)

9. World War II

Are any of these your favourites? Or are there some you really enjoy not on this list? Let’s discuss below!

Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Pet Peeves

October 5, 2021October 4, 2021 Andge @ Down the Rabbit Hole

Good morning friends! Was everyone at a loss for social media yesterday as I was? Thank goodness there is this community here that is hosted separately from all of that.

This week’s TTT is an interesting one and I’ve separated it into pet peeves specific to things found within stories, as well as general pet peeves related to books.

Story-related pet peeves

1. Love triangles

I honestly get so antsy with love triangles, usually because I get so invested in the person the protagonist DOESN’T choose to be with. My poor heart 💔

2. Whiny/unlikeable protagonists

Do you ever just not connect with the main person whose POV you’re stuck with for the WHOLE book? Yep, I really don’t like that. Because I Cannot. Escape. Them.

Top Ten Tuesday: Favourite Book Covers for 2022 So Far

September 28, 2021September 27, 2021 Andge @ Down the Rabbit Hole

Good morning everyone! I have had such an amazing weekend celebrating my boyfriend’s birthday. I missed travelling, even if it’s just to somewhere not too far away.

But now that I’ve rested a little from that mini vacation, I am back with a freebie topic for this week’s TTT. I have been looking forward to some releases coming out next year – waiting super impatiently, might I add – and I thought it’d be a great time to browse through some covers that have already been released.

Now, they always say “don’t judge a book by its cover”…but let’s be honest, how many of us still kinda do? A little bit?

I have collated some covers that personally look super intriguing to me from series/authors I have yet to read from. That way, I have no preconceived notions that would otherwise draw me to these books.

Let’s take a look below! 👀
