Top Ten Tuesday: Favourite Paranormal Books

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.


Hey everyone, thank you to all those who sent well wishes on last week‘s TTT. I’m still in the process of fully recovering but getting better day by day.

This week’s topic is a freebie, and in the spirit of October, I chose to showcase my favourite paranormal books or series.

Top Ten Tuesday: Favourite Words

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.


Hey everyone, thankfully this week’s TTT is short because I’m currently sick with COVID. Finally managed to catch up with me after 2 years. So this post will be short and sweet.

There’s probably a pattern to my favorite words, but I love all the following based on how it sounds but also its meaning.

1. Requiem – any musical service, hymn, or dirge for the repose of the dead.

2. Solitude – the state of being or living alone; seclusion

3. Serenity – the state or quality of being serene, calm, or tranquil; sereneness

4. Transcendence – the quality or state of being transcendent (going beyond ordinary limits; surpassing; exceeding)

5. Celestial – pertaining to the sky or visible heaven, or to the universe beyond the earth’s atmosphere

6. Serendipity – an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident

7. Solace – comfort in sorrow, misfortune, or trouble; alleviation of distress or discomfort

8. Reverie – a state of dreamy meditation or fanciful musing

9. Valiant – boldly courageous; brave

10. Provenance – place or source of origin

That’s a wrap. Let me know if you like the sounds or meanings of any of these words. Also, it probably subconsciously says a lot about me.

Top Ten Tuesday: Books With Vacation in the Title

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.


Just came back from a long weekend and I really don’t want to go back to my regular work week. It was a lovely time with friends and family. If you’re Canadian, I hope you had a lovely thanksgiving too!

Today’s TTT is about books we read on vacation. Unfortunately, I don’t particularly choose books to read on vacation for 2 main reasons:

A) I barely have time to read while on vacation because I’m so busy seeing everything and fitting as much things on my itinerary as possible to sit still
and
B) If I had time to read (ie. On the plane or a train), I’d probably just read whatever books I was reading prior to vacation to finish them since I’m usually behind schedule on ARCs and library books

So instead, my twist on the topic is to present a number of books with “vacation” in their titles that are on my TBR.

(Note: for a TTT list of books that make me WANT to travel on vacation, click here)
