Today I’m participating in Top Ten Tuesday. This meme 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. Each week there is a new theme/topic, and participants choose ten books that fit it.
This week’s theme is Books I Was Reading On This Day Over the Last Ten Years. This was such a cool topic. It was interesting to see how my reading changed in 2021 after I started blogging. Prior to blogging, most of my reading was Star Wars, which is pretty obvious from my answers below. However, I also went through an intense Asimov phase and read most of the Terry Goodkind books when I was younger, which also made an appearance in my answers. Without further ado, here are the books I chose (covers link to Goodreads):
He Who Drowned the World by Shelley Parker-Chan (2025), Fool Moon by Jim Butcher (2024), Amari and the Great Game by B.B. Alston (2023), Longshadow by Olivia Atwater (2022), Ace of Spades by Faridah Abike-Iyimide (2021)
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker by Rae Carson (2020), Thrawn: Treason by Timothy Zahn (2019), Last Shot by Daniel Jose Older (2018), The Robots of Dawn by Isaac Asimov (2017), The First Confessor by Terry Goodkind (2016)
There you have it! Ten books I was reading on this day over the last ten years. Have you read any of these? Let me know down in the comments!
I had Amari (but the first book) on my list today too 🙂 Your list also reminds me that I still need to read Ace of Spades! I really liked this topic today too—it was really interesting to see how my reading has changed over the years.
Did He Who Drowned the World stand up to She Who Became the Sun? I remember really loving that and have no idea why I didn’t pick up the sequel
