Top Ten Tuesday: Books My Mum Has Attempted


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This week's topic is a mother's day freebie (bit late for us in the UK haha!). I actually really struggled with this one! My mum's not a big reader, but I'm going to list the very few books that she has read or attempted to read in the past few years.

Guy Martin: My Autobiography
She really loves Guy Martin and motorbikes and she actually finished this book! (Guy Martin races in the Isle of Man TT)

Guy Martin: When You Dead, You Dead
Same as above... but I'm not sure she's finished this one...

What If I Had Never Tried It: The Autobiography
So, my mum loves Valentino Rossi more than Guy Martin (she even has a tattoo of his racing symbol...). She's actually currently reading this one just now too.

    1. My mum only wanted to because I'm so into it, but I don't think she will ever actually read them all.

  2. It is cool that your mom attempted to read these books, even if she didn't finish them! My mom's not a big reader either, I don't think she'd really care for Harry Potter, haha, but that's okay :)

    1. Yeah, she does try occasionally. I think I'm having more luck converting my sister-in-law into a reader though.

  3. I've been trying to get my mom to read HP for years and years!

  4. Eek, I'm so glad my mother is a reader! She never has enough time, but at least we have a love of books in common!

    My TTT.

    1. You are so lucky to have a reader as a mum! Mine just isn't really interested.

  5. My mom isn't much of a reader, although I think she wants to be. I think she doesn't really have the time and patience for it. But sometimes I will recommend books to her, and they usually have a Downton Abbey vibe, since she liked that show so much!

    1. I actually think my mum's the same - she just doesn't have the patience either. I don't think I'd recommend books to my mum though.

  6. I love that you got your mom involved in this week's TTT, even if she doesn't read much :p I am sure she loved to be included!

  7. Oh, I like this! I should've done one where me - as a mom - would try to recommend a book to my kids. Lol.

  8. What did your mom think of Harry Potter?

    My mom loved it when I recommended it to her many years ago. :)

    Here is my TTT.

    1. She made it further than my mum anyway so that's great!

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is a top ten new to me authors of 2015. I have read so many new to me authors this year and it's been brilliant! I'm not sure if I can limit this list to only 10!

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Love Santa to Leave for Me

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is the top ten books I wouldn't mind Santa leaving under my tree. Really I'd welcome all books under the tree but these are ones that I've seen around a lot or recently.

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway.
