Hey guys!! It’s time for Top Ten Tuesday!! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme originally created by The Broke and The Bookish, and is now hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

Today’s topic is: Unpopular Bookish Opinions.

I’ve kind of done this before. I did an Unpopular Opinion book tag back in January (check that out here!) and I listed my unpopular opinions regarding books and book related things. Instead of pretty much repeating that post, I’ve decided to do a topic I missed this past month:

Top Ten Tuesday – Inspirational Book Quotes

Published on April 30, 2019June 25, 2019 by Rukky @ Eternity Books15 Comments

Hey everyone! It is time for Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme originally created by The Broke and The Bookish, and is now hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

Today’s topic is: Inspirational Book Quotes.

I don’t really know that many inspirational quotes. As far as I’m concerned, quotes are just quotes. I don’t really know exactly what fits the bill for an inspirational quote, so here are some that I thought sounded good or possibly ‘inspirational’.

Quotes from Books:

“You can’t live your life for other people. You’ve got to do what’s right for you, even if it hurts some people you love.”
The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks

“You can’t stay in your corner of the Forest waiting for others to come to you. You have to go to them sometimes.”
Winnie The Pooh by A. A. Milne

“If my life is going to mean anything, I have to live it myself.”
The Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan

“If the decision you’ve made has brought you closer to humanity, then you’ve done the right thing.”
A Very Large Expanse of Sea by Tahereh Mafi

“The next time you face a room full of strangers . . . you might tell yourself that some of them are just friends waiting to be found.”
It Happened One Autumn by Lisa Kelypas

Quotes by Authors:

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”
Margaret Mead

“Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.”
Oscar Wilde

“It is never too late to be what you might have been.”
George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans)

“I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow; but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.”
Agatha Christie

“Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown again into instant flame by an encounter with another human being.”
Albert Schweitzer

That’s it for this Tuesday! Do you have any thought-provoking quotes you’d like to share? What does an ‘inspirational’ quote mean to you? Let’s chat in the comments below!

Top Ten Tuesday – First Ten Books I Ever Reviewed

Published on April 23, 2019June 25, 2019 by Rukky @ Eternity Books10 Comments

Welcome back folks! It is time for Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme originally created by The Broke and The Bookish, and is now hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

Today’s topic is: (First Ten) Books I Reviewed (These do not have to be formal reviews. A small sentence on a retailer site or Goodreads counts, too! Submitted by Rissi @ Finding Wonderland)

I had to dig up my dusty files (of both my brain and computer 😉) to find the oldest reviews that I ever wrote. Many of these were for school and though I’ve read A LOT over the years, I never wrote any reviews because I thought they were a chore. Now that I’ve started blogging, I’m actually starting to enjoy writing them for others to read!

The oldest reviews that I can remember aren’t that many, so you’ll also be seeing some reviews from when I first joined Goodreads and started blogging (I started both in December of last year)

Let’s get started!

All the covers are from Goodreads!

These five books are the only ones that I reviewed that I can remember. I wrote them for my school newsletter and reading my reviews again made me cringe.

*Henry Huggins by Beverly Cleary

*The Sign of The Cat by Lynne Jonell

*Thea Stilton and the Journey to the Lion’s Den by Thea Stilton (the actual author is Elisabetta Dami)

*The Canary Caper by Ron Roy

*The Zombie Zone by Ron Roy

The first three books were the first one that I reviewed when I joined Goodreads and the last two were from when I started blogging.

*SYLO by D.J. MacHale

*The Gilded Cage by Lucinda Gray

*A Girl Named Digit by Annabel Monaghan

*The Fixer by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

*Accused by Lisa Scottoline

That’s it for this Tuesday! What were the first books that you’ve ever reviewed? Share in the comments or link to your TTT’s so that I can check them out!!

Top Ten Tuesday – Rainy Day Reads

Published on April 16, 2019June 25, 2019 by Rukky @ Eternity Books7 Comments

Hello and welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme originally created by The Broke and The Bookish, and is now hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl.

Today’s topic is: Rainy Day Reads (submitted by Shayna @ Clockwork Bibliotheca). I think this is a great topic, because it is April and the saying goes: April showers, bring May flowers. A lot of the books on this list are ones that I haven’t read, but think would be perfect to read on rainy days. Here are 5 books that I think are perfect rainy day reads.

*How to Bake a Perfect Life by Barbara O’Neal. This sounds like a cozy story about a grandmother and a granddaughter strengthening their bond. There’s is also baking going on, and any book that has to do with food is perfect for a rainy day as far as I’m concerned!

*The Restaurant Critic’s Wife by Elizabeth LaBan. I just finished this over the weekend and it was so cute and hilarious to read about Lila’s adventures as a mother of two and the wife of a restaurant critic. It’s perfect to read in a comfy chair with hot cocoa on a glorious rainy day.

*The City Baker’s Guide to Country Living by Louise Miller. Another baking filled book but this time set in the country. It sounds cute, so I’m guessing it’ll be a great book for a dreary and wet day.

*State of the Onion by Julie Hyzy. This is a cozy mystery about a chef who is vying for the very top position in the White House kitchen. Food and mystery, a win-win combination.

*From Where I Watch You by Shannon Grogan. This isn’t just about a baking competition, it also has a mystery thrown into it. And the cover is pretty, so I’m betting that it would be a wonderful rainy day read.
