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. Top Ten Tuesday (created and hosted by The Broke and Bookish) is now being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl and future week’s topics can be found here. This week’s prompt is:
FREEBIE
As we’re approaching the end of the year and fairly soon everyone will be posting their favourite books for 2024 I thought I’d look at some of the books I’ve read during the last few years and give them a little shout out. Today, I’ve gone with a dark theme but I think I might post again with some other favourites from the past. Here are my choices:
The Memory Wood by Sam Lloyd
You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce
Daisy Darker by Alice Feeney
The Last House on Needless Street by Catriona Ward
Come With Me by Ronald Malfi
A Dowry of Blood – ST Gibson
The Silent Companions by Laura Purcell
Certain Dark Things by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
The God Game by Danny Tobey
A Boy and His Dog at the End of the World by CA Fletcher

Books read this week:
I’m very happy to say that I read one of my books this week and started a second. I’ve been catching up with reviews and blog hopping, I’m uptodate with comments, almost, and I’ve also started my Countdown to 2025. So, my reading might not be as strong as in past months but I’m making headway. Now, I just need to see if I can fit in a few more books before year end. This week I completed The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso. Review coming for that soon. I also started Strange Beasts by Susan J Morris – I suspect this will be a quick read, fingers crossed.
Next Week’s Reads:
Complete Strange Beasts. Then the skies the limits.
Reviews Posted:
- The September House by Carissa Orlando
Outstanding Reviews
- Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
- The Last Hour Between Worlds by Melissa Caruso
That’s it for me this week, what have you been up to, any good books to shout out about. Let me know.
