Top Ten Tuesday | 7 Books With An Adjective In The Title

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday post and this week's theme is 'books with an adjective in the title'. I found this very difficult and several of these I haven't read. I know of so many books that have adjectives in the titles but then when it comes to my actual book collection, I couldn't find that much! 

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl.  It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

1. A Study In Scarlet by Arthur Conan Doyle 

This is the first Sherlock Holmes book and I read it about a year ago. I really enjoyed it although I think I prefer The Hound Of The Baskervilles. Sherlock Holmes is such a classic and I can't wait to get to some more of these stories. They are very short too so don't take too long to read.

2. Things A Bright Girl Can Do by Sally Nicholls

I've talked about this book quite a bit before on here so I won't dwell on it too long but it is a book I still don't really know what to  think about. I really thought I would love it and although I liked it, there was something missing and it dragged on for a bit too long. There were a few other things that frustrated me with this book and I've heard people saying the same thing. 

3. The Beautiful Cassandra by Jane Austen

I am so desperate to get to this, it will definitely happen this year! It is a Penguin Little Black Classic that has some of Jane Austen's juvenilia. I have read Lady Susan, which I loved so I think this will be a great one to delve into.

4. The Manifesto On How To Be Interesting by Holly Bourne

I read this very recently, and wrote a more detailed review here. I had some mixed feelings about it but overall really liked it. I would also really like to read more from Holly Bourne soon and I think she's an author I could really grow to love. This was an enjoyable read, but if you want to know more, I encourage you to read my review!

5. Wide Sargasso Sea by Jean Rhys

I haven't read this one but it is a book that was written about a certain character in Jane Eyre. I love Jane Eyre very much and reading this book will be interesting. I am looking forward to getting to it at some point and I'm sure you will hear all about it on here when I do!

6. Only Dull People Are Brilliant At Breakfast by Oscar Wilde

This is another one of the Penguin Little Black Classics, this time a book of quotes by Oscar Wilde. I read this last year and found it very relateable and overall really liked it. I think I should make time to read back through it a bit at some point, I remember it was impactful and I think sometimes all you want is a good book of quotes.

7. Old Baggage by Lissa Evans

This is another one I read a little while ago. It is about the suffragettes and I would like to reread it. I wrote a review of it which you can read here. I don't love this post, like many of my older posts, so please don't judge the writing! I did like this book though and I recommend it if you want a good suffragette historical fiction.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post and I hope you are all well.

Let's chat!
