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.

  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!

    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.

  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.

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