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 One-Word Reviews for the Last Ten Books I Read (submitted by Susan @ Bloggin’ ’bout Books)
Hello Readers! I hope this week finds you well and fully immersed in a good book. If not, then I have some suggestions for you today…
I love today’s topic! There’s something refreshing about the challenge of reviewing books with only a few words. I’m keeping this simple and following the rules. I’ll be looking at the last ten books I’ve read, starting with the most recent. I’ll include a link to the reviews I did on the blog—if you’d like more than one word! 😉
(Link to Goodreads synopsis through book title.)
- Song of Solomon by Toni Morrison – Exceptional
- Every Summer After by Carley Fortune – Immersive (My Review)
- Growing Up Biden by Valerie Biden Owens – Illuminating (My Review)
- Blame It on the Brontës by Annie Sereno – Charming (My Review)
- Just the Two of Us by Jo Wilde – Comforting (My Review)
- This May End Badly by Samantha Markum – Ingenious (My Review)
- The Highland Fling by Meghan Quinn – Hilarious
- Very Bad People by Kit Frick – Atmospheric (My Review)
- The Hating Game by Sally Thorne – Adorable
- The Viscount Who Loved Me (Bridgerton, #2) by Julia Quinn – Entertaining
Do we share any recent reads? Let me know in the comments!
Happy Wandering!
I still need to read the Bridgerton books!! Glad you liked The Hating Game! I loved this topic!
I’ve now purchased the third and fourth Bridgerton books so I’ll at least be able to read those before the next seasons. 😉
Ohh, nice!! I own them all and still haven’t touched them. LOL
Haha! I have several series I said I’d read once I owned them all, but they’re still waiting on my shelves. 🤦♀️😂
Haha.. I think it’s a bookish thing!! lol
Oooh Atmospheric is a good word! And I also thought the Bridgerton books were entertaining 🙂
Atmospheric is one of my favorite words and I’ve probably been known to overuse it. 🤣
Great choices Dedra. Every Summer After isn’t available in Canada yet, but I am watching for it.
Well, the closer you can read it to summer, the better. 🥰 I’ll be excited to hear your thoughts.
The Hating Game is such a cute book. So glad you liked it! Great job with the restriction of one word!
I was so surprised by how much I enjoyed The Hating Game. It always makes me wonder what other books are waiting on my shelf that will become new favorites. 😉
Some great words there. I loved The Viscount Who Loved Me!
Have a great week!

Thank you! <3
Illuminating is such a great word!
It’s a very pretty word, isn’t it?!
Nice reviews! I just started reading Every Summer After and so far, so good.
Oh yay! I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. <3
I love that a covid romance was comforting. That was one of the few that piqued my interest.
Yes! It was such an unexpected surprise.
“Comforting” is the kind of book I have been gravitating toward lately. You found some great one-word descriptors for these!

Same here! Give me all the comfort-reads!
Anytime I see someone describe a book as comforting I sit up and take notice. Those always tend to be feel-good books that are perfect in between my other angsty books. 🙂
Yes! I need those kinds of books so much right now, too. But I do love the angsty ones, as well. 😉
As an Overly Verbose Person, one-word reviews are so impossible for me to fathom but you did a great job!
Haha! I just considered it a fun challenge. 😉
