Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme where every Tuesday we look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) bookish examples to demonstrate that particular topic.

Books and travelling with Lynn 
Ohhh, you must do yourself a favor and start with Martha Wells and the MurderBot Diaries: there is too much fun in there for your to miss it! 😉
Yes, this is a series that I’ve promised myself I’ll read. I just need to make the time. Or just squeeze one book in a month maybe.
Lynn 😀
They are all fairly short books – more novellas than anything else – so you should not have any problem fitting them between larger tomes 🙂
Tuck Everlasting is one of my favorites. It’s so, so good!
Brilliant. That’s good to know. I clearly had this as a recommendation from someone many moons ago and bought a copy but just need to give my head a wobble!
Lynn 😀
I’ve only read Erin Morgenstern but her work isn’t for me at all.

Yes, the Night Circus seems to be one of those marmite books that has very mixed reviews.
Lynn 😀
I just read The Sun Down Motel and liked it a lot. It was my first book by the author.
Yes, it has such a lot of positive review. I need to read the author soon.
Lynn 😀
The Night Circus is awesome…so atmospheric and haunting. I, too, want to read Mary Stewart and Simone St James.
We need to get organised don’t we!
Lynn 😀
Some of these surprise me! You must read Nicholas Eames, Blake Crouch and especially Simone St. James😁
I really must! More time please.
Lynn 😀
The first two, definitely the first two, and Turton’s first book, Evelyn Hardcastle, if you haven’t read that one.
I haven’t read that Blake Crouch book, it’s on my TBR along with Recursion, but I did enjoy the Pines series.
I remember loving The Night Circus too.
the Night Circus is such a mixed bag.
Lynn 😀
Oh, I could have sworn you’ve read Murderbot! Well then, you know what to do! Dont’ wait to pick it up 🙂
Yes, it has such great reviews – and I already have at least the first one – maybe more but I can’t remember, have a sneaky suspicion I have the first three. Time.
Lynn 😀
I highly recommend Murderbot. It’s fun. And Kings of the Wyld was a fun one too. I recommend it.
Night Circus was great for me, but I know it’s hit or miss for most folks. The setting, the circus, is the focus. I think if that enchants you when reading, then you’ll end up loving the book.
I actually think The Night Circus would work for me even though it seems to divide opinion.
Lynn 😀
Hi Lynn, while I have not read Touch Not the Cat, I have loved many of Mary Stewart’s suspense novels, so would recommend bumping that up your pile. 😊
Blessings, Jessica 💌
Thanks Jessica, noted.
Lynn 😀
Lots of great authors here. I just binged on the Murderbot diaries. They work great as audio too
