Books Set in a School

This week’s prompt is “School Freebie.” I’ve probably decided on the easiest iteration for this topic. I’ve decided to go with my top ten books set in a school. Here are my favorite choices from books I’ve read:

Hogwart’s

This was a lot harder than I thought it would be. I haven’t read many books set in a school. At least I found ten.

What about you? Which books were on your list this week? Do we have any in common?

I learned in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) that life is full of dialectics, or two opposing truths. In this case, the two opposing truths are: 1) I don’t agree with JKR’s stance regarding trans people, and 2) I still love Harry Potter.

Books I Love that were Written Over 10 Years Ago

I think this week’s prompt is “Books I Love that were Written Over 10 Years Ago.” As bloggers, I think we tend to focus on the more recently published books when there are so many other awesome books written a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away ). Anyway, here are my top ten 15 books:

All of these books were published before 1990 and I rated them four or five stars when I read them.

What about you? Which books written more than 10 years ago did you love reading? Do we have any in common?

Books Linked to Specific Memories or Moments in My Life

This week’s actual prompt is “Hilarious Book Titles,” which didn’t really interest me. I don’t really read comedic books. I’m not opposed to them or anything; I just choose to read other things.

I’ve decided to do an old prompt I didn’t have the chance to participate in. It’s “Top Ten Books Linked to Specific Memories or Moments in My Life.” Each of these books have special meaning to me. My top ten includes:

Books My Dad Read to Me as a Child

Books My Parents Gave Me as a Child

The First Book I Remember Reading on My Own

Books I Read in High School

The First Book I Read While Living Away from Home

The TWO Books that Ignited My Love of Reading

Hogwart’s

What about you? Which books are linked to specific memories or moments in your life? Do we have any in common?

P.S. I’ll finally be responding to all the comments on my previous posts and this post today. I’ll also start commenting on other blogs again today.

Books Set in a Place I’d Like to Visit (Real or Fictional)

This week’s prompt is a really fun one. It’s “Top Ten Books Set in a Place I’d Like to Visit (Real or Fictional).” There are so many places I’d love to visit. Hopefully, I can narrow it down to ten. Here are my top ten choices:

Hogwarts
Lyra’s Oxford
Idris
Narnia
Bella’s Forks
Caladan
England
Canada
Sweden
South Africa

What about you? Which book settings would you like to visit? Do we have any in common?

P.S. I’m going in for LASIK this morning so I won’t be able to comment on other blogs until later this week. Just know I haven’t forgotten about you.

Books from My Spring 2022 TBR I Still Haven’t Read

This week’s prompt is hard for me because I’m a mood reader and the only seasonal TBRs I’ve made are for spring and summer 2022. We’re still in the middle of summer so I can’t use that list and, honestly, spring wasn’t very long ago. However, I’ve managed to read four books from my spring TBR, which is amazing to me. Anyway, here are the ten six books from my spring 2022 TBR that I still haven’t read:

Technically, I’ve read the two Harry Potter books. They’re the last two I need to read to finish my latest reread of the series, though.

What about you? Which books from a previous seasonal TBR have you still not read? Do we have any in common?
