Hi friends,
Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
Today’s theme is: Bookish Wishes (List the top 10 books you’d love to own and include a link to your wishlist so that people can grant your wishes. But I decided to go rogue and instead of talking about books I wish to get, I chose books I wish to give! Because gifting books is one of my favorite passtimes!
These are of course favorite books, some of my 2025 reads, other older ones:
My Friends by Fredrik Backman, The Favorites by Layne Fargo, Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books, As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, The Women by Kristin Hannah, How to Age Disgracefully by Clare Pooley, The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune, The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty and Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus.
Have you read any of these?

Great list! I love how you flipped the topic, and I also love to give gifts to others. I noticed some of my faves on here, and think they’re great gift idea. Fourth Wing, Lula Dean’s Little Library of Banned Books, and The Women are all amazing reads.
I am so glad we share so many favorites Leah!
Me too!
I’ve heard so many good things about Lemon Trees. I have it on my shelf, just haven’t had a chance to pick it up yet. Thanks for sharing your favs!
You are welcome Alicia!
Great twist, and I see some of my own faves up there! Loved The Favorites, Pooley and Garmus’ books.
I read Pooley because of you Sam!
Nice twist on the theme! And what a great list, there are a bunch here I want to read based on your reviews
Well I hope you will Tammy!
Fourth Wing and The House in the Cerulean Sea are some of my favorites too! I agree, it would be nice to be able to gift them to someone (except I don’t know anyone in real life who loves to read but the idea still sounds nice :) )
Lucky for me, my daughter, son and mother in law love reading!
