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 of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
February 13: Love Freebie (Romances, swoons, OTPs, kisses, sexy scenes, etc.)
My take on this week’s theme is books I’ve been longingly gazing at every time I go into Waterstone’s, but haven’t bought yet because my TBR is too big. I want to read them, they want to be on my shelf, but we just can’t be together right now. I guess you could say we’re in a long-distance relationship.
There’s quite a mixed bag here – some fantasy, some non-fiction, and some YA, but I must confess that I admire them all from afar. Perhaps one day we’ll be together.
Which books are you in a long-distance relationship with? Are there any romance books that you particularly enjoy, or characters you love?
I really wanna read under rose tainted skies!! i’ve heard such good things 🙂
Yes, it’s meant to have really good mental health rep, so I’m keen to pick it up and have a read!
I loved The Smell of Other People’s Houses and Everyday Sexism! Hopefully you’ll enjoy them both when you trim down that pesky TBR 😛
Thank my lovely! I hope so too, but it could be a while before I get to them! *cries*
I can see why you want these books in your life – such lovely covers and I’ve read a few of here and definitely recommend. Rothfuss, Lloyd and Cho.

Nice books! I am very curious about Under Rose-Tainted Sky, I’ve heard some great things about that book ❤ I really enjoyed reading All the Light We Cannot See, but I've also read mixed reviews, so I think you either love it or don't love it, haha.
All the Light We Cannot See has been on my tbr for ages right now!! It sounds like an incredible book, but it’s also one of those books I have to be in the mood for.
Same! I actually had it out the library ages ago but didn’t manage to read it before I had to take it back. That’s why I stare longingly at it every time I go to Waterstones!
Oh you have to read Under Rose Tainted Skies soon, I loved this book so much, it was realistic and just so great ❤
Yess I definitely want to read it! And funnily enough, the author saw me saying on Twitter how much I need to pick it up and is going to send me a copy! 😀
AHHH REALLY?! That is so, so amazing. I can’t wait for you to read it! 🙂
Yeah! I couldn’t believe it, I was so thrilled 😀 Can’t wait for it to arrive now 🙂
I hope you are willing to share All the Light We Cannot See for this long-distance relationship thing because I am the same. Everyone keeps telling me how amazing the book is and that I would probably really like it and I believe them, but I still never buy it? It’s odd, because the cover just looks so beautiful too!!
Hahaha yes, I can definitely share it! It sounds like we feel the same way about this one, because I keep seeing it everywhere and although I really want to read it, I’ve just not picked it up yet! Yeah, the cover is so lovely 🙂
