Top Ten Tuesday – The ‘Happy Birthday to Me’ Edition
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Top Ten Tuesday has been one of my favorite memes ever since I started blogging, so huge thanks to Jana for taking over the hosting duties!
This week’s TTT topic is supposed to be Books I’d Give Different Titles To (and tell us what title you’d pick!), but as is usually the case with topics like this, I completely blanked out and couldn’t think of a single book I’d like to give a different title. So I decided to go rogue. Since today is my birthday (yay!) and I almost always get cash and a load of gift cards (even bigger yay!!), I decided it would be fun to share some books I’m hoping to be able to purchase with my birthday money. I’m sure I won’t get enough to purchase all of these, but hopefully I can get a few of them anyway.

Question: Have you read any of these?
My birthday is next week, too! Happy birthday to you!
Enjoy American Royals. I gave it to myself as a pre-birthday gift.
Happy Early Birthday to you!
Happy Birthday! I can’t wait to get my hands on Ninth House and The Queen of Nothing, and I’d like to give The Ten Thousand Doors of January a try, too. I’ve heard so many good things about The Silent Patient. I hope you enjoy whatever it is you treat yourself to!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday, Suzanne 🥳 Hope you have an amazing day ahead! Love this list that you’ve made for today’s TTT. I also completely blanked on it and don’t know what topic to choose otherwise for it. It was definitely a tough prompt this week 😂I want to read SO many of these books — some I already have on my shelf and others I can’t wait to get. The Whisper Man and Silent Patient were great reads though. Hope you enjoy and manage to get all of them 😍
Thank you! Glad to hear you enjoyed The Whisper Man and Silent Patient. I’m really excited for both of those.
Happy birthday, Suzanne! I hope you have a wonderful day with lots of reading time, haha!
Thank you!
Happy birthday! I hope you’ll be able to buy and read all of these books.
My TTT.
Thank you!
First, happy birthday! I hope you get everything you wish for😁 There are some awesome books on your list. I’m very excited for Ninth House, The Queen of Nothing and This Tender Land😁
Thanks Tammy!
Happy birthday! I hope you love whatever books you end up buying!
Thanks AJ!
Happy Birthday!!! I hope you get ALL the books!!
Thank you! 🙂
Happy Birthday! I got Ninth House as a birthday present for myself as well, I hope we both enjoy it 🙂
Thanks, I hope so too!
Out of these I have read American Royals and The Silent Patient, and I really enjoyed them. I hope you do too!
Happy birthday!

Thank you!
Birthday books are the best! I want to purchase #9 for my birthday, too! I love KH books.
I love her books too. 🙂
A very Happy Birthday for next week – and aren’t books the BEST present?? I like the look of Ninth House and the American Royals is probably full of fun, as I read and enjoyed McGee’s The Thousandth Floor series.
I think Ninth House is the one I’m most excited for, just because I’ve loved everything I’ve read so far from Bardugo.
Happy birthday and happy book shopping! I think shopping for books is a fun thing to do to reward yourself. I hope you have a blast!
Thank you!
Happy Birthday!!! Mine was last Monday. I loved this post and a lot of these are on my tbr as well.
Thanks! And a Happy Belated Birthday to you!
Happy birthday Suzanne!!!! I bought and loved Ninth House and Queen of Nothing is already pre ordered.
Thank you!
Happy Birthday!! Sadly, I’ve only read Life and Other Inconveniences, but I really enjoyed it. I hope you get to buy them all! 🙂
Here’s my TTT!
Thanks! Hopefully I can get a few of them. 🙂
May your special day be blessed. I’ve seen a number of these titles mentioned on numerous links to this site. Enjoy them when you get to them. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/
Thank you!
I am such a big fan of McGee’s books. Perfect for when you are looking for soapy drama. I hope you are gifted some (or all) of these books, and that you had a wonderful birthday.
And I’m so in the mood for soapy drama too! 🙂 Thank you!
Happy birthday Suzanne (from a fellow Libra)! Hope it’s wonderful! I have not ready any of these but they look fascinating. I can think of a different title for a book I recently read. It was titled Educated by Tara Westover. Have you read it by chance? I would like to rename it Survived 😀
Hope you get some cake along with those new books!
Thank you! I’ve not read Educated yet but I’ve seen several excellent reviews for it and the title rename sounds fitting based on what I’ve read, haha.
Happy Belated Birthday!!! I hope you get all the books you want <3 I haven't read any of them but I am super excited for The Queen of Nothing
Thank you!
Happy, happy birthday! I really want to read Ninth House and Queen of Nothing! What is Jude going to do??? I hope you were able to get all of the books you wanted. <3
Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬
Right? I’m dying to know about Jude!
Happy Belated Birthday! I hope you’re able to get some of these. I haven’t read any of them but I WANT to read The Silent Patient and The Whisper Man.

Thank you!
I know I am very late now but I hope you had a wonderful birthday! The Ten Thousand Doors of January and American Royals are both ones I eventually want to read as well 😀 I hope you were able to get them and will love reading them as well 🙂
Thank you!
