Top Ten Tuesday – 10 Books I Was Influenced to Read because of Top Ten Tuesday
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 Books I’ve Read/Want to Read Because of Top Ten Tuesday (books you discovered through Top Ten Tuesday, or they kept appearing in top tens and you got intrigued). This is a great topic because there are so many books I probably never would have read if not for seeing them on other bloggers’ Top Ten Tuesday lists that have since gone on to become favorite reads of mine. Here are a few that immediately came to mind.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about A Man Called Ove.
Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.
I agree, I love this topic! I love these weekly posts because I love discovering books/authors I would otherwise not hear about. I hope you have a great week!
This is a fun prompt, although I’m not sure I would remember specifically the books from TTT. The only one I’ve read of yours is Hart and Mercy, but it was really good😁
There are lots of big hyped books up there! I loved The Simple Wild and need to read the Lucy Score book.
Ooh, I actually haven’t seen a lot of Before I Let You Go on TTT or any of my feeds but I’m so glad to see you loved it. I’ve got it on my shelf and can’t wait to pick it up but I’m getting strong emotionally angsty vibes from it and might have to prepare myself to read it 😂 Great list!
I’ve read Before I Let Go and Things You Save in a Fire. I thought both were excellent, more life fiction than strictly romance. They were more complex with more layers of plot. I’d like to read some of the others.
Oh yes – I’ve seen so many of these too in TTT lists! Esp. Man called Ove, Song of Achilles and Things we Never got over
I’ve read all but 4 of these books. The ones I have read are great books, so I’m glad TTT helped you find them. Bannen’s book was one that made my list today as well.
Great list, Suzanne. I have read six of these and they were probably recommendations to me as well.
Lesons in Chemistry is also on my list but most books here above are big favorites!
The Simple Wild- I did see a lot of love for that.
Great list! I’ve read and loved The House in the Cerulean Sea, The Undertaking of Hart and Mercy, The Simple Wild, The Song of Achilles and Things We Never Got Over and I’m pretty sure most of them were brought to my attention by TTT so that’s just wonderful 🙂
The Simple Wild. It Ends With Us, and Before I Let Go… all such phenomenal reads. All three of them made a lasting impression on me.
Hart and Mercy was on my list, but you made me remember that seeing The Simple Wild EVERYWHERE made me want to read it as well. Zero regrets with both. They were stupendous!
I’m pretty sure I first heard Katherine Center’s name on a TTT post. I’ve only read a few of her books, but I’ve enjoyed every one!
Happy TTT!

I read The Song of Achilles after loving Circe and sadly I didn’t love it as much as everyone else in the book community does.
A Man Called Ove is one of my favorite books!

Loved Things You Save in a Fire and A Simple Wild. I hope to read A Man Called Ove at some point. I’ve added many books through other bloggers recommends!
I’m not sure I could remember where I heard about books, but definitely blogs and social media in general is how I get recommendations.
I’ve read both It Ends With Us and The Simple Wild. They both delivered on the hype.
I have read It Ends with Us and Things You Save in a Fire.. I have the Simple Wild and a few more on my TBR list.
