Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish in June 2010 out of a love of lists. It recently changed to That Artsy Reader Girl and that’s where you can find the topics for each Tuesday.

This week’s topic is:

Hidden Gems (which books haven’t been talked about as much or haven’t been marketed as strongly, that you think deserve some recognition?)

I haven’t done one of these in a while, but one I say the title for this one, I knew I had to find some time to do it!

I’ve been reading some books I really think are worth sharing and I managed to talk about 5 of them! I hope you guys have read or get to read some of them!

What are some of your hidden gems?

This week’s topic is:

Popular Books that Lived Up to the Hype

I will be mentioning 15 books I remember being late to the party and that definitely got a lot of hype at some point.

I won’t be talking about each of them in particular but this is a list of books that I definitely recommend if you haven’t checked them out yet! Also, if you are interested in checking them out farther, I linked any review I have to the covers.

What are some popular books you think lived up to the hype?

This week’s topic is:

Favorite Novellas/Short Stories

I don’t read many novellas but I do tend to go for short-stories, especially fairytales! I love reading classic short-stories and I’m cr some at the moment, which I will mention at the end of the post.

I don’t have many novellas or short stories to talk about… But for me, the best way to read short stories is getting anthologies because it’s always guaranteed you will like some of them!

Also, any review I have will be linked to the covers!

What are some of your favorite novellas/short stories?

This week’s topic is:

Books with Red, White, & Blue Covers (In honor of the 4th of July in the USA. Choose covers with your own country’s colors if you prefer!)

Since it was given the option of also putting my countries colors I will do it all… I will choose some Red, White, & Blue Covers to celebrate the 4th of July and will do a tinier section with the colors of the Portuguese flag (my home country) followed by the Finnish flag (the country I live in).

Do you celebrate the 4th of July? If so, what do you usually do? Also which books do you own the most – blue, white or red?

This week’s topic is:

Series I’ve Given Up On/Don’t Plan to Finish OR Series I’d Like to Finish Someday (Submitted by A Book and a Cup).

I don’t have many series I’ve started that I wouldn’t like to continue, and the ones I do, I’ve talked about already in other posts. Since the topic mentions that we can also choose to talk about series we would like to finish, I decided to go for that.

I’ll be talking about some series I recently started and want to continue ASAP, others that I’m not sure when I will be getting to but want to, and finally some series I have yet to start but feel that I really want to try out!

Do you have any series you’ve given up on? Also, what series would you like to continue but haven’t done so yet?

This week’s topic is:

Books to Read By the Pool/At the Beach (This can also serve as your summer TBR)

Normally the type of books I read by the pool/at the beach tend to be easy reads. Generally, they are either tiny books, contemporary books, graphic novels/manga or in the rare occasion, poetry. But to be honest, nowadays I go more towards audiobooks when I read at the beach.

I will talk about some books I think are good to read outside during the summer (pool/beach). Some I’ve read, some I’ll be reading this summer.

Do you read by the pool/at the beach? What type of books?

This week’s topic is:

Books That Awaken the Travel Bug In Me

This is an awesome topic! I missed last weeks topic because DNF books are just not my thing, and I wouldn’t have much to talk about. Plus, I had another post I wanted to put on my blog that day so… Yeah, that happened. But this topic, and in general, topics like this, I’m a fan of and I definitely want to share my book experiences with you guys!

There’s many I would love to talk about and for sure many I must be forgetting, but I will focus on 10 books. I have a mix of historical fiction books, contemporary books, fantasy and even classics. They are mostly set in different countries and I would love to see if you guys have read any of these books or are interested in any of the countries I mentioned!

Which books awaken the travel bug in you? To which countries?

This week’s topic is:

Bookish Worlds I’d Want to/Never Want to Live In

This is such a cool topic! For me, one of the best things about reading is meeting new worlds. That’s why I love fantasy! I can already think of many I would love to live in! Even tho, half of the time fantasy worlds are definitely not the easiest to live in…

I will be mentioning 8 worlds I would love to live in and explaining my top 4! And 8 worlds I just couldn’t possibly endure, and explaining my top 4 as well.

*If I have a review for any of the books mentioned it will be linked to the cover*

Which Bookish Worlds would you love to live in? Which ones you wouldn’t?

This week’s topic is:

Best Character Names (make this as narrow/broad as you’d like)

Well… Dang it. This is difficult as hell! I often forget characters’ names, especially if it’s not the main characters. This will require some proper research haha. But let’s do it! I will be taking names from 10 books for male names and 20 books for female names.

What are some of your favorite character’s names?

TTT: Books I Disliked but Am Really Glad I Read

This week’s topic is:

Books I Disliked/Hated but Am Really Glad I Read (maybe just for bragging rights)

I don’t think I have any I hated and that I am glad I read, cuz probably if I was hating them, I never finished them. But I do have some I just read that were just okay, I liked them, but they weren’t anything special – but that I am still happy I read! So let’s go for those! They are also books I ~~highly doubt I will ever re-read~~. Actually, cross that, I will never re-read them.

Do you have any books you didn’t like but are happy you’ve read? Which ones?
