Moonheart | Charles de Lint

#toptenofthedecade
I included books I *read* (not necessarily published) in the past decade.

Of course this was ridiculously challenging, but I used my “favorites” shelf in Goodreads 😊. I also added 2 runners-up, at the end. And I cant‘t pick a single favorite, but I sure did esp love the tagged book. ... and all the others shown here. 😂

Years 1st read, in order: 2015, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2013, 2016, 2019, 2019, 2019, 2010, 2015

umbrellagirl I liked Slade House. I just passed it on to a friend. 5y

marleed There is no excuse for my copy of Maybe You Should Talk to Someone to sit unread on my nightstand when so many Littens love this. Dang - it‘s at my fingertips! 5y

Avanders @umbrellagirl nice! I passed on several copies to friends a couple years ago... it wasn‘t what I was expecting, but for me, in such a pleasing way. 😁 Same for me with

The Grownup: A Story by the Author of Gone Girl

The Dovekeepers: A Novel | Alice Hoffman

#toptenofthedecade #fictionedition
I think they were all published in the last decade!
I found this really hard (as we all did!)
Honorable mentions to Assassins Fate - Robin Hobb, end of an era and sobbed through the last quarter. Fitz will always have my heart ❤️
And for poetry Rapture by Carol Ann Duffy is amazing.

KarenUK We match 3, I also LOVED the Book thief, and have Little life, Great Believers and Bone Clocks on my #2020TBR !😊👍💕 (edited) 5y

Cathythoughts Great picks 👍🏻. Bone Clocks will be one of mine too !! And Station Eleven. I need to go back to Great Believers as I have it in #hibernation 5y

Cinfhen This list is FABULOUS 🙌🏻I adored SO MANY of these titles ~ Great Believers is the one book I somehow missed out on - will have to correct that 💖📚🎉 5y

Cinfhen And you know I LOVED

The Dovekeepers: A Novel

squirrelbrain Same here @KarenUK - I matched 3 too... I didn‘t include Tin Man on my list, but it was very borderline. I have The Book Thief on my TBR for #readingeurope2020. 5y

Cinfhen There‘s a few books I forgot 😬😬😢 5y

Scochrane26 My friend told me I need to read The Dovekeepers, so it‘s on my tbr. 5y

Kalalalatja I was so close to putting some Hobb books on my list! 5y

ljuliel Ordinary Grace was beautiful. 5y

TrishB @KarenUK you have some good ones waiting for you 👍🏻 5y

TrishB @Cathythoughts I know some people found Great Believers a bit slow, may be wrong time for you. 5y

TrishB @Cinfhen I missed so many out 😕 it‘s really hard! 5y

TrishB @squirrelbrain I think you‘ll like it 👍🏻 5y

TrishB @Scochrane26 one of my all time faves 👍🏻 5y

TrishB @Kalalalatja they are so personal aren‘t they! 5y

TrishB @ljuliel it definitely was ❤️ 5y

Rissreads Station 11 and A little life are both on my list! 🧡 5y

TrishB @Rissreads they are definitely firm Litsy favourites! 5y

BarbaraBB Super great list 😍😍 5y

JennyM Fab list! 5y

TrishB @BarbaraBB @JennyM it‘s so hard isn‘t it! 5y

Suet624 I read 7 of these. Such wonderful memories of having read them. 5y

Too Much Lip | Melissa Lucashenko

#TopTenoftheDecade #FictionEdition

I've stuck with books published between 2010 and 2019 and gone with the books I remember loving. Tomorrow I'll probably remember others that should have been included. Oh well. Thanks for starting this off @Cinfhen it's fun to see everyone's choices. Thanks for the tag @Centique

merelybookish Great list! I also picked A God in Ruins and Milkman! 5y

Cinfhen I think going off the cuff like that is the best way!!! Interesting list / three of the books you listed were bails for me 😬😂😘 5y

Cinfhen But I did LOVE

Commonwealth

LeahBergen Oh, look ... you‘ve bought me two of them! 😘 5y

CarolynM @merelybookish Thank you! I thought both of those were excellent 🙂 5y

CarolynM @Cinfhen So you bailed on Milkman, Hot Milk and Less, am I right? 5y

CarolynM @LeahBergen I hope you like them. (edited) 5y

Cinfhen Hahahahaha EXACTLY 😂😂😂🙌🏻 5y

BarbaraBB Great choices. I loved Hot Milk and Too Much Lip! 5y

batsy Nice choices! I think if I ever successfully come up with my 10, Hot Milk will be on mine as well 💜 A whole bunch of yours are on my TBR, I just need to read them 😅 5y

Centique I haven‘t read ANY of these but they‘re all on my TBR and I‘m going to take Too Much Lip with me on my New Years holiday 👏👏👏 5y

TrishB Well done 👍🏻 I too bailed on Less @Cinfhen and really disliked Hot Milk. Loved A God in Ruins though. 5y

youneverarrived Hot Milk is so memorable. Great choices ✨ 5y

Cinfhen @TrishB I pretty much gave up on Kate Atkinson after reading

Life After Life: A Novel

TrishB @Cinfhen I dislike Life After Life but love everything else she‘s done! 5y

Cathythoughts I‘m going to give Commonwealth another shot 👍🏻❤️. Great picks 5y

LeeRHarry Agree 💯 with the Georgia Blain book....mmm Less I‘m not so sure 😏 5y

monalyisha Commonwealth is on my book club‘s list for the coming year, so I‘m happy to see this! I‘ve heard mixed reviews. 5y

CarolynM @BarbaraBB 😘 5y

CarolynM @batsy Obviously, I would encourage you to read all of them. I'd love to know what you think if you do.😘 5y

CarolynM @Centique I really hope you like Too Much Lip - I thought there was a glossary in one of her other novels you might find useful. I can email it to you if you would like. 5y

CarolynM @TrishB I can see why Hot Milk divides opinion so much. It's the sort of thing that I often find really annoying, but for some reason it worked for me in that book. 5y

CarolynM @youneverarrived 😘 5y

CarolynM @Cathythoughts 😘 5y

CarolynM @LeeRHarry I don't know anyone who has read Between a Wolf and a Dog and hasn't loved it. What did you dislike about Less? 5y

CarolynM @monalyisha Hope you like it. 5y

Centique @CarolynM that would be great thank you! 5y

Freespirit I‘m embarrassed to say I‘ve read none of these....several waiting to be read though😳 5y

CarolynM @Freespirit I'd recommend them all, especially the 4 Australian ones🙂 5y

LeeRHarry @CarolynM from memory as it‘s been a while, I really disliked the protagonist for some reason 🤔 5y

CarolynM @Centique I've just sent you the glossary from my westgarthwoman email address. 5y

ljuliel Nice list . I‘ve not tried any of these so don‘t have an opinion. I know one thing : this idea has sure given me a long list of books to try ! I tried counting the number of books mentioned and it was up near 600 😮 5y

Rissreads I knew your list would be interesting. I did think Relatively famous would have been on your list though? You sent me The Golden age and I still have not read it, so I shall get onto that. I just picked Too much lip for our next book club. 5y

Rissreads @MrsMalaprop @Reggie @clarissap83 @Stephsays170692 @jeg I would love to see your lists? 5y

CarolynM @Rissreads If I'd made the list on another day it probably would have been in. I could also have included Foal's Bread and Into the Fire, 2 more great Australian novels. Limiting it to 10 means some books I loved have to be left out. I hope you like The Golden Age and Too Much Lip. 5y

CarolynM @ljuliel Based on the sorts of books I've seen you like, the one of these I'd most recommend to you is

The Golden Age: A Novel

(edited) 5y

Rissreads I have Into the fire on my the shelf. I have not heard of Foal's bread, I will look it up. I have been taking alot of screen shots of people's lists and then looking the books up. I have added alot to my tbr list! 🤣 5y

MrsMalaprop I‘ve read 7 of these. Liked/loved all except Less @LeeRHarry . I recall everyone in my book club loving it, but it was just not for me 🤔. 5y

Rabbit Cake | Annie Hartnett

I had to join in on this one😀#toptenofthedecade #fictionedition
Brutally hard...and I had to add honorable mentions:
All The Light You Cannot See, The Book Thief, Rabbit Cake, Eleanor Oliphant❤️ apologies for being low tech....no pic collage...lol These are in no order...both top 10 and honorable mentions are totally random.

JanuarieTimewalker13 I have to add to my honorable mentions: The Institute. 5y

TrishB I love your low tech! 5y

monalyisha I loved
