Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
The rules are simple:
-
Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
-
Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to The Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
-
Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other blogger’s lists.
-
Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Beach Reads, but as I don’t go in for ‘beach reads’, I’ve chosen books with coastal settings instead 😀

I haven’t read Treasure Island in a long time. Sunrise with the Silver Surfers looks cute.

Sounds like we had a similar twist on the topic! I always love a good coastal setting… I enjoyed The Island Home and I hope to get to Paradise some time soon (and The Surf House when I get a copy). xx
