Top Ten Tuesday: Books I'd Want on a Desert Island (27 July 2021)

    

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is books I'd want with me whilst stranded on a desert island. I've decided to split this into my favourite books that I'd want to reread and the longest books I still have on my TBR as I'd get the chance to attempt to read them if I was stuck on a deser island.

  1. Great list! I love some of your choices here and Dracula is always a good read, wherever you are - Dumas is cropping up a lot too!
    This is my TTT list of books I'd want with me - although I found it impossible to keep it to ten and am itching to add others to it!

    1. I thought so! Even if I don't like the long books there'll be plenty of paper to start a fire haha!

  6. Such awesome choices! I love both The Princess Bride and Dracula, and I've always wanted to read Don Quixote. :)

    1. Yes, I think that's why I'm scared to start them!

    1. That sounds so good that you'd love to read Monte Cristo for the first time again. It must be good!

  10. I love Wallbanger such a great romantic comedy. I would also make sure that the majority of the books I brought were long a great strategy.

    1. Wallbanger makes me laugh so much. Yes, I think they'd keep me entertained for a long time.

  11. Interesting list. I 've read six of those books and am going to read a seventh (Dracula) this year for one of my challenges. Of the ones I have read, many of them great books, my favourite would be "War and Peace". Happy Reading!

    Thanks for visiting my TTT earlier.

    1. That's really nice to hear you enjoyed War and Peace. I find it a bit intimidating.

      Delete
    2. I love large books and I know they are not for everyone. I never read just one book at a time so I still finish a book from time to time before I finally finish the big one.

      Delete
    3. I think that's such a good way to do it. I might have to try it myself soon, just to help break the bigger ones down a bit.

      Delete
  12. Les Mis and War & Peace are good calls! I still need to read them.

    1. Hopefully we'll get round to reading them one day!

  13. Fantastic list! I have seen Les Mis on quite a few!

    1. Thanks! Yes I think being on a desert island would be the perfect opportunity for a lot of us to get round to reading it.

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. Follow me via  Goodreads ,  Facebook ,  Bloglovin  and  Pinterest  and also via email to myexpandingbookshelf@gmail.com.  Feel free to leave a comment.
