Top Ten Tuesday - Books That Live in My Head Rent-Free

 


Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl


This week's topic is Books That Live in My Head Rent-Free (submitted by Emma @ damppebbles.com).  I interpreted this to mean books that stick with you a long time after you've read them. The books I chose are books I've read and have always remembered, even though I read some of them many years ago.


If you click on the title, it will take you to their Goodreads page.





What's on your list this week?

  1. One for the Money was such a fun book. Someone sent it to my husband when he was with the military in Iraq and he passed it on to someone else. Not knowing it was racy. Ha! He got teased pretty bad.

  2. These look great, Yvonne. I never finished Rest Ye Murdered Gentlemen, but only because I ran out of time. Thanks for sharing.

  8. I loved the Stephanie Plum series. I read them into the 20s. Somehow I just quit reading them. Need to check them out.

    Have a fabulous day and week. Scritches to the kitties. ♥

  9. I interpreted this the same way. I loved the first Stephanie Plum book! I don't think I continued with the series after book 6 or 7 but I do still remember how much I enjoyed that first book.

  11. The more lists I look at, the more I think of other books I could totally have added to my own list!

  12. Remembering books you read many years ago is definitely a big tribute to them.

  13. I've read a few of these and enjoyed them, Yvonne. I love the Stephanie Plum series and have read them all.

  14. I had basically the same interpretation! I figure it's books you still think about, way after finishing reading them, so I didn't include anything too recent. Your list looks fun!

  15. I can only imagine what it would be like to talk to Yogi Berra on a daily basis, that one would stick with me.

    Happy TTT!
