Top Ten Tuesday is a bookish feature hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl
It's been awhile, but this topic was too good to pass up. When I thought about it, I genuinely could not recall which were the first ten books I actually reviewed here on the blog. So then, of course, I had to know. The thing is, I originally started the whole thing simply posting a once a month list of my favorite reads and rereads of the month. That went on for some time until lo and behold I went ahead and wrote and posted my first review on November 9, 2007. In hindsight, I probably should have known exactly which book pushed me over the edge into full fledged reviews. So this was a rather delightful journey back in time. Do you remember the first book you ever reviewed (in any forum) or what made you take the plunge? Here are my first ten (and I have to say, looking at this snapshot from the past, these remain some of my absolute favorite authors and a pretty spot-on array of the genres I read and love tod…

LOL - I saw this list a few days ago and I think it's great. I do love me some PBS. And wow! about Jeremy Irons. It almost makes me sad that I was much to young to appreaciate him back in 1982. :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the stress. I hope tomorrow is better for you.
Me, too, Misti! He was much older when I first ran across him. More's the pity . . .
DeleteA great list!!!! Ooo la la!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope today goes better for you and you feel less stressed.
Lol! Thanks, Lin. This was a step in the right direction. ;)
DeleteThank you. Sincerely, thank you.
ReplyDelete(Here's for a more relaxed tomorrow)
Oh it was my pleasure. ;)
DeleteThis list made my day, Angie! It's kinda the truest list ever. And I LOVE that Laurence Fox got number 1--I'm always pushing that show on everybody.
ReplyDeleteHuzzah!
DeleteI knew that #1 slot would get you. It's still on my list to get to!
I love PBS. Endeavor is a good show, it seems like Inspector Lewis might be over and this one is supposed to fill the void? Also: I laughed when they described Jason Isaacs' "cute little sticky-outy ears".
ReplyDeleteI haven't actually seen Endeavor, so good to hear it's good. I have a good friend who's doing her best to get me to start Inspector Lewis posthaste.
DeleteThe ears comment -- hilarious.
