Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!
Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

I just realized that only three of the ten books listed above fall into the fiction category. While the rest of them are all nonfiction reads! Click on the links above to read my review of each book.
Which books are your ALL TIME FAVORITE BOOKS from the past 3 years?
I haven't read any of your top ten either! I'll definitely have to check them out.
ReplyDeleteWicked Bugs and Wicked Plants sound especially interesting.
Both Wicked Plants and Wicked Bugs are amazingly well written and give bite sized chunks of fascinating information about the plants and bugs that inhabit our world.
DeleteI'm so intrigued by Wicked Bugs and Wicked Plants! I've never heard of them before, they sound really interesting. I've actually not read any of your top 10 either! I'm definitely going to try and look those two books out. :D

Loved both books by Amy Stewart. They are amazing.
DeleteHmm, I haven't read any of your top ten either! Looks like our reading tastes are rather different, especially since you seem to be an NF person. Will definitely check out your fiction recs -- possibly you should try Nothing to Envy XD
ReplyDeleteI actually read more fiction that nonfiction, it just so happens that more nonfiction books made my top ten favorite reads in the past 3 years than fiction did.
DeleteI've heart amazing things about Tatiana de Rosnay, but with all the hype I'm just a bit scared to actually start one of her books... Great list!
ReplyDeleteSarah's Key was pretty heavy and heart wrenching in scenes. Not for the faint of heart.
DeleteI got Professor and the Madman in the mail last week from Paperbackswap. I need to get to it!
ReplyDeleteI tweaked the prompt a bit. Here's my TTT!
Thank you for leaving me a comment on my post!! I enjoyed reading your TTT list this week.
DeleteOh nice! Gotta say that these are all new to me ones! Will have to look them up!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!

DeleteSuch a great list. Man, I cannot believe I didn't put The Art of Racing in the Rain on mine. I absolutely loved that book.
ReplyDeleteThe Art of Racing in the Rain was really good. I can't tell you how many people I've told about this book, who've loved reading it as well.
DeleteThis is a lot of non-fiction, something I don't usually read, but I've put Greyson and and the Doctor and the Madman on my Goodreads. Thanks for visiting my blog.

DeleteSherman Alexie! You're the first person I've seen who put Part-Time Indian on their list. It almost made my list, and probably would have if I had had more space. It was such a good book.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog today!

DeleteThanks for stopping by my TTT a couple weeks ago -- I've been on vacation and I'm just now catching up on blog things! I absolutely love "The Art of Racing in the Rain," but I read it more than three years ago so it didn't work for my list. I read Garth Stein's new book a few months ago, "A Sudden Light," and while it was a decent read it wasn't nearly as good.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to read more non-fiction so your list is a huge help! I'm totally going to check out "The Professor and the Madman" -- it sounds right up my alley!
