Welcome to Top 5 Wednesday! Hosted by Goodreads T5W group this week it is Books/Series to read in 2023. I got a whole load of books for Christmas (woot woot!!) but here are just 5 (click for links to Goodreads):
I got this book years ago. I received the third book in the series for Christmas so that the series was complete. I just need to make a start on it now!
Welcome to Top 5 Wednesday! Hosted by Goodreads T5W group this week it is Books To Read When You Are Snowed In. I think that we have had our snow for the year. It is quite rare to snow here in South East England, UK so we were “lucky” to get what we did!
Welcome to Top 5 Wednesday! Hosted by Goodreads T5W group this week it is Books To Gift. This is a difficult one as I have read some great books that I think others should read, however, for this prompt I have decided to look at 5 different genres that I have read from this year and pick one that I have read from each of those. Hopefully there will be something for everyone to enjoy here!
Welcome to Top 5 Wednesday! Hosted by Goodreads T5W group this week it is Ongoing series I am still loving. This is a hard one for me as I don’t read many series. After having a hard think these are some series that I have started and am looking forward to what is coming next:
“book”, “read”, “book blog”, “easy read”, “don’t miss out”, “fiction”, “entertaining”, “what should I read next”, “what book do you recommend”, “series”
“book”, “read”, “book blog”, “easy read”, “don’t miss out”, “fiction”, “entertaining”, “what should I read next”, “what book do you recommend”, “christmas”, “romance”
Welcome to Top 5 Wednesday! Hosted by Goodreads T5W group this week it is Books With Long Titles. I have decided to define a long title as one with 6 or more words, so here is my list:
“book”, “read”, “book blog”, “easy read”, “don’t miss out”, “fiction”, “entertaining”, “what should I read next”, “what book do you recommend”, “christmas”, “romance”
Welcome to Top 5 Wednesday! Hosted by Goodreads T5W group this week it is Young Reads. Not necessarily books that got you into reading, but ones that left an impression. I have to admit that I found this particularly difficult, however I have gone through my Goodreads app (that has most of my books on it including childhood books!) and have picked out books that I enjoyed as a youngster that I haven’t necessarily mentioned before:
“An utterly brilliant collection of the very best poems, from Puffin Books,
A celebratory anthology of the best of Puffin poetry publishing, including poems by Roger McGough, Michael Rosen, Charles Causley, Benjamin Zephaniah, Jackie Kay, Spike Milligan, John Agard, Brian Patten, Allan Ahlberg and Kit Wright. Each poet’s work is illustrated by a different artist such as Emma Chichester Clark, Fritz Wegner and Korky Paul.
Brian Patten came to public attention with the publication of THE MERSEY SOUND in 1967. He is a very popular performance poet, always in demand for conferences and school visits.

I am not overly into poetry, but this book has some amazing poems in that I really enjoyed as a child. And I loved the illustrations! I highly recommend this book.

I was quite into fantasy when I was younger and this cover caught my eye!

Welcome to Top 5 Wednesday! Hosted by Goodreads T5W group this week it is Award Winning Books. This is quite a hard one for me as I just read what I like and don’t know if they have won any awards. I have therefore had to do quite a bit of research!
Welcome to Top 5 Wednesday! Hosted by Goodreads T5W group this week it is Characters that need a break. There are so many characters that I think deserve a break, however here are just 5!
Lily – she has been encouraged to come back to her childhood home in an attempt to “win” it from her other relatives. All sorts of secrets start to come out and there are murders along the way – very stressful!
Welcome to Top 5 Wednesday! Hosted by Goodreads T5W group this week it is characters that I would like to dress up as. I normally just dress up as a non descript witch at Halloween so it was fun to go back through my recent reads and choose some characters to dress up as!
