The Top Ten Tuesday topic this week is One-Word Reviews for the Last Ten Books I Read. This is a tough one for me. Just one word . . . Yikes.

So, maybe not one word reviews for most of these, but I tried my best. These, of course, do not come close to describing all of my thoughts on the books, but it was an interesting exercise to try to come up with a short and simple statement to describe some of what I took away from them.
Have you read any of these books? What did you think?

At least you are honest. Four word reviews are still very brief. I thought this was a fun activity though I had a hard time limiting myself to just one word (and sort of failed at it a few times.) One Word Reviews
ReplyDeleteAnne - It was fun. I went more with description than review, I think, but it was the direction my mind kept taking me. Thank you for visiting!
DeleteI struggled a bit but I had fun trying to find one-word that I was satisfied with for this week's prompt 🤣 I like what you've done though and you've definitely got me curious about some of these. This is the second post where I've seen the Spy x Family books and now I feel like I need to check them out. Great post!
ReplyDeleteOne word was hard!!! I like your brief sentences tho! And "Backstory is important" is perfect for Bromance :) (also Humans do suck!)
ReplyDeleteI think just about all of these are wonderfully apt! Love "Estelle" for Anxious People! Clever. And humans suck might be very accurate for A Burning.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

I did pick one word...and then explained why! So TTT fail here! lol
ReplyDeleteI thought a one-word review would be tough as well. I like this!
ReplyDeleteI struggled with one word! I liked your choice of words. I loved Four Aunties and a Wedding. Definitely my book of the year so far - just because it made me laugh out loud!
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT

So long since I visited blogs. Our country is upside down and we find normalcy hard to find. Books are my saving grace but I'm behind in both reading and reviewing.
ReplyDeleteThe Bookwanderers sounds really good.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
I like that you used more words, it's so much more descriptive.
ReplyDeleteHaha! I love what you did here, and I totally got the ones I have read.
ReplyDeleteHumans suck.. That's an understatement lol! I loved Final Girl Support Group.

Hey one sentence also works!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2022/05/03/top-ten-tuesday-366/
I love Spy x Family as well but I don't know if I can describe it in one word! Maybe "hilarious"?
ReplyDeleteThis was a pretty challenging prompt this week! I think even one sentence is tricky. It's been fun reading how everyone chooses to interpret that.
ReplyDeleteThis was a hard prompt, wasn't it? I loved Estelle in Anxious People. I think my word for that book would be "perfect." It's my favorite so far this year, but it was more than 10 books ago.
ReplyDeleteThese are so great! I love how you did them. :D
ReplyDeleteIt was hard to stick to one word reviews, I like your brief phrases...maybe next time we should do 5 word reviews ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so intrigued by "Scars run deep." Great job!
ReplyDeleteFun prompt! I didn't even check to see what the TTT was for yesterday. Whoops! I loved your little descriptions. The Anxious People one cracked me up.
ReplyDeleteGreat list of books and I think you captured something good and important for each one.
ReplyDeleteGood try Wendy, I still like your short descriptions.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of those but you did a great job describing them in as little words as possible.
