Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the lovely Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl. Each week a new theme is suggested for bloggers to participate in. This week’s prompt is  Books to Read If You Love/Loved X (X can be a genre, specific book, author, movie/TV show, etc.)

Hello Readers! Just as I expected, November is flying by. I haven’t been in the blogosphere as much as I’d like to be thanks to Nanowrimo. I’m a Nano Rebel this year, working on a previous Nano project, but I’m happy with my progress… so far. 😉

Tropedia defines the ‘Groundhog Day’ or Time Loop trope as “a plot in which the character is caught in a time loop, doomed to repeat a period of time (often exactly one day) over and over, until something is corrected.”  And I’ve loved this trope since I first watched the film Groundhog Day. When I read In a Holidaze last year, it reminded me of how much I enjoy reading books with the trope, as well. If you haven’t watched the film Palm Springs, it has an updated approach to the trope that I also enjoyed.

I’ll be sharing five books I’ve enjoyed and five that are on my TBR with the Time Loop trope!

Read and Enjoyed

1. In a Holidaze by Christina Lauren – The book that inspired this list! I enjoyed the advanced ebook I received so much, I ordered the book in paperback. I’m eager to reread it this holiday season.
2. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver – One of the first time loop books I remember reading, this one blew me away. I still find myself thinking about it.
3. Miss Peregrine’s Home For Peculiar Children (Miss Peregrine’s Peculiar Children, #1) by Ransom Riggs – I’ve only read this first book in the series, but I recently picked up copies of the next two books in a resale shop for a price I couldn’t say no to.
4. 11/22/63 by Stephen King – Leave it to King to have a different take on the Time Loop trope. This one was quite fascinating.
5. “The Map of Tiny Perfect Things” by Lev Grossman included in Summer Days and Summer Nights – I was disappointed in most of the short stories in this anthology about summer love, but Grossman’s was one of the few that I did enjoy.

From my TBR

1. Recursion by Blake Crouch – As someone who doesn’t read a lot of Sci-Fi, Crouch’s Dark Matter was a surprise hit for me. I’m eager to read this one, as well, and hopefully I can make that happen soon.
2. A Week of Mondays by Jessica Brody – I only discovered this book while researching for this post, but I recently read Brody’s book The Geography of Lost Things and adored it, so I’m intrigued by this one, as well.
3. The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton – The hype for this one is big, so of course I couldn’t resist adding it to my tbr. Plus, it’s described as “Agatha Christie meets ‘Groundhog Day'”, which sounds so fun.
4. The Rehearsals by Annette Christie – This one seems to have either 4-5 stars or 1 star, but the mixed reviews only intrigue me more. 😉
5. One Last Stop by Casey McQuistion – I’d seen this one around the blogosphere but I didn’t realize it was a time loop book. Now I’m even more interested!
