When was the last time I participated in Top Ten Tuesday? It was almost two years ago! Last year, I had difficulty writing my blog. I don't want to make any promises, but here's my TTT again. So, I'll try to look on my Goodreads read-shelf. Let's see what I can come up with for this prompt.
1. Escape from Mr Lemoncello's Library - Chris Grabenstein
Reading a middle-grade book has always excited me. As long as I remember, I accidentally found this book on my recommendation. Without much thinking, I choose this book for my reading. I hope I can continue to read all of the books from the series.
2. Kim Ji-Young Born in 1982 - Cho Nam-Joo
Kim Ji-Young's story is very relatable to me as an Asian Woman. I understand her condition and struggle. Not gonna lie, being a minority in this unfair society would be extremely difficult and Cho Nam-Joo has succeeded to describe the story of it.
3. Giselle - Akiyoshi Rikako
I've always been a fan of Akiyoshi Rikako's work. Reading her work is an exception for me because I rarely read horror or mystery novels. Giselle is one of the notable works by Akiyoshi. This book to some extent gives me knowledge about ballet and its performance.
4. Aruna dan Lidahnya - Laksmi Pamuntjak
The English title for this book is The Birdwoman's Palate. To be honest, Aruna dan Lidahnya isn't my favourite book. But, in my opinion, no other book discusses Indonesia's culinary world as thoroughly as Aruna. As a result, I'm still interested in this book.
5. The Chronicles of Audy: O2 - Orizuka
When in college, The Chronicles of Audy has accompanied me. The story is very relatable as I and Audy have the same major. Then, O2 is the final book for The Chronicle of Audy series. So, this book will give a conclusion about Audy's life and story.
6. The Return of Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
C'mon.. who won't recognized this book? After the fall of the Reichenbach, this book gives us a surprise when Holmes is actually still alive. I just love the way Doyle execute the return of the great detective.
One of my favourite retelling fairy tales. I think, The Lunar Chronicles is amazing. I still remember that I finished all of the series when I have an exam in college. Lol. Lucky me I still can do my exam well.
8. Harry Potter - J.K. Rowling
I can't not to mention Harry Potter for this list. Well, without Harry Potter, I don't think I will fall in love with fantasy movies or any middle-grade book.
9. Detective Conan (Case Closed) - Aoyama Gosho
Sorry for bringing manga on this list. I have to be honest, Detective Conan is my all-time favourite manga. Starting from there, I can start to read more about detective stories. Without Conan, I won't know about Arthur Conan Doyle or Agatha Christie's work.
10. Angel's Heart - Luna Torashyngu
Angel's Heart is a teen lit Indonesian novel. I have to mention this book on this list because it's so memorable for me. When I got my holiday before entering middle school, I read a lot of novels and Angel's Heart is the first book that made me cry. Well, when I read it ten years later, it still gives some emotions to me. It gives me a lot of nostalgic feelings.
Yaps, that's for today's TTT. It's glad to be back. Recalling my memories about books that I've ever read is always fascinating. So, what is the book that made it to your list today?
I was wondering when someone is going to mention Harry Potter! Lovely diverse selection you have today.

I always heard amazing things about Cinder but never read them. I think I finally unhauled them from my bookshelf just because I didn't read them and my thought always is, hopefully they'll find their way to someone who will. :) Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland on this week. :)
ReplyDeleteYA fantasy book like cinder is always be my guilty pleasure. Sure! Thanks for also visiting here
