Top Ten Tuesday used to be a weekly post hosted by The Broke and the Bookish, but was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl. “It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.” This is definitely something I can understand and want to participate in.
We’ve all read books that are so good that it’s ridiculously difficult to write a coherent review. This week’s topic was submitted by Dedra @ A Book Wanderer. I’m talking about books that were so good that I couldn’t come up with the right words to adequate express how great they were, and why exactly you should read them:
- Jade City by Fonda Lee
- Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
- The Love Hypothesis by Ali Hazelwood
- The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt
- Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson
- The Pomegranate by S.J. Schwaidelson
- Once More With Chutzpah by Haley Neil
- Wahala by Nikki May
- Nevermoor: The Trials of Morrigan Crow by Jessica Townsend
- The City Beautiful by Aden Polydoros
What are books that were just too good for you to review properly?

I will need to look into Nevermoor. I’ve been seeing it on lots of lists lately. On today’s topic I sometimes can’t think how I want to write a review and then I procrastinate until I lose all initiative to write it. Years later I am disappointed when I go searching for that review I never wrote. Sigh. My TTT

Nevermoor quickly became one of my favorites – I highly recommend the audiobook version. I usually don’t give myself more than a day to try to organize my thoughts before attempting to write a review. I hope you get better about your reviews!

Usually, I have the opposite problem when reviewing—too many words! It’s tough for me to be succinct most of the time 🙂
Happy TTT!

That’s not always a bad thing! But some books just hit me hard enough that it’s difficult to organize my thoughts properly.

Reviewing it was definitely a killer – thankfully I did it as a buddy read so I had help organizing my thoughts.

Thank you! It’s strange how easy it is to write a review for books I don’t love, but completely blank when I truly love a book.

We both had Six of Crows on our lists this week! I forgot about The Goldfinch. It definitely could have made my list, as well. Black Cake was also hard to review properly, but I didn’t love it as much as I thought I would. Several others are still on my tbr. Especially The Love Hypothesis. I just ordered a copy so hopefully I can read it soon! Great choices this week!
