Hey y’all! I know, I know… I’m pretty late to the game with this being my first book meme / top ten Tuesday post even after running the blog for almost three years now! I’ve seen Dini @ dinipandareads do these often and always enjoyed reading them, so I thought I’d finally give it a try!
This bookish question idea was originally created and hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, from way back in June 2010! Since January 2018, Top Ten Tuesday has been hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Thanks for taking it over! Check out her site for details on how to join and what the upcoming prompts are. 😊
This week’s is books with adjectives in the title. This was interesting because as I read through my books, I kept doubting myself and wondering if something was actually functioning as an adjective or not. I’m pretty confident in these now, but hey, whatever if not, they’re all still great books! I chose books from my highest rated reads for this list.
My top 10 books with an adjective in the title!
Why I love each one…
the funniest, sweetest superhero to ever remain canon
the “After” in a happily ever after medical miracle
the witchy dark book I re-read every year
the book that saves me in my darkest days
the book that surprised and delighted me with a devilish cackle
the book that let me see things that are usually hidden
the book that made me wonder and marvel
the book that brought my favorite game to a new medium
the book that made me baffled and rageful, but in an informative way xD
the book that taught me so much about the lore of a world I adore
My Book Joy 
Furiously Happy was such a funny read.

Invisible Women was Wow. I didn’t agree with everything, but it was certainly eye-opening, wasn’t it.Ditto Nothing to Envy. Have a great week!

Same. When there’s that much to be said about it, some of it definitely sticks! The medicine not being tested for women because of hormones and the seatbelts not including female test dummies really stuck out to me 😐 She did a great job of never assigning blame and just working on improving the situation.

Yay! Welcome to TTT! I love Dini too! I loved Furiously Happy and I’m so glad to see The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavendar! I loved that book and it doesn’t get enough hype. 🙂

Thank you and hello! Agreed on Ava Lavender. It was such a special read to me, and I’ve always been surprised how infrequently it comes up. Seems like one that would be really popular!

These are good! I look that there’s one with “infernal” in the title — great word!

It’s certainly a unique one, much like the book itself. You don’t hear the word infernal much in daily life (which I guess is a good thing? 😂).

Welcome to TTT! It’s such a fun meme. I’m glad you’re joining in and hope we see you around here again 🙂
I love that you listed what you love about each of these books. I haven’t read any of them. I find North Korea fascinating, so NOTHING TO ENVY looks like one I need to read. Thanks for the heads-up. I hadn’t heard of it before.
Happy TTT!

Thanks Susan ☺️ Nothing to Envy was especially interesting to read because it read almost like fiction as it follows several people in their lives, with the information naturally a part of it. Of course, it’s real, which makes it a bit eerie at times. Definitely recommended for North Korea reading!

Yay for joining TTT—they’re always so much fun! 😍 I also had doubts about whether I was picking the right titles for this week’s list but it was still fun to look through my library for titles. I really enjoyed The Curious Heart of Ailsa Rae (made me quite emotional!) and I have Furiously Happy on my TBR and can’t wait to read it!
