A great book quote can stick with you for a lifetime. It was fun to think back to my personal favourites, for this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl. Read more

Top Ten Tuesday – Book Covers with Umbrella
This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is April Showers. I hate to be caught out in a shower without a sturdy umbrella, so this is my spin on the topic. Whether discreet or punchy, an umbrella can really add some visual interest to a book cover.
Top Ten Tuesday – Book Covers with Apples
I happened to be eating an apple (a nice and juicy Jazz apple to be exact) while thinking about this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, Covers/Titles with Things Found in Nature. A supermarket apple is hardly a product of nature, but hey there are wild apple trees as well!
Top Ten Tuesday – Bookish Goals for 2024
It’s the beginning of a new year, and Bookish Goals for 2024 is this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl. Generally speaking I’m no longer into the New Year’s resolutions, but it was fun to pause and really think about my book-related resolutions for the year.
Top Ten Tuesday – Books Set on Mars
The Red Planet was one of the first things that popped into my head in response to this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, Books Set In X. It surely must be the most-visited planet in the Solar System in fiction.
Top Ten Tuesday – Books with Weather Events in the Title
This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is all about Mother Nature throwing a hissy fit: storm, flood, blizzard, wind, rain and snow.
Top Ten Tuesday – Water, Water Everywhere
Water is this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, so my list is all about lakes, rivers, oceans and other bodies of water.
Top Ten Tuesday – Books With One-Word Titles
This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is Books With One-Word Titles. To make it more of a fun challenge, I thought I’d come up with a selection of titles that refer to a first or last name. Curiously, my list is heavy on classics and older novels, with only one book that was published in the 21st century (and even that one is named after a character from Ancient Greek mythology). I wonder if it’s simply gone out of fashion for whatever reasons.
Top Ten Tuesday – Books Covers with Stars
I decided to do a twist on this week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl, Book Covers In the Colours of My Country’s Flag. The colours of the Australian flag are blue, red and white, which is not exactly the most original colour combo in the world. A more interesting feature of our flag is the Southern Cross constellation, so I thought I’d make a list of book covers with stars and constellations.
Top Ten Tuesday – Beachy Books Covers
This week’s topic from That Artsy Reader Girl is Books or Covers that Feel/Look Like Summer. Summer means many things to me, but chief among them is the beach. I’m very lucky to live about fifteen minutes away from the bay with its suburban beaches, and when the weather is right there are many ocean surf beaches around Melbourne to visit on a weekend.
