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.
The rules are simple: Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want. Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to http://www.thatartsyreadergirl.com/ in your Top Ten Tuesday post.
This week is all about Spring Cleaning Freebie. This can be about books that you plan on donating, books you want to remove from your To Be Read List either by reading them, or removing their list due to lack of interest, or time.
I plan to talk about books I would like to read by the end of the year. I would like to read more classical books. Mind you, I know not everyone of these books are classical books.

I have read this book in school, but this is one of my favourite books, so I would love to read it again soon!
What are some of the books that you plan on reading this year?
On Friday, it felt like my world shattered. It really reminded me that; “Life turns on a dime.” -Stephen King,
“Life turns on a dime. Sometimes towards us, but more often it spins away, flirting and flashing as it goes: so long, honey, it was good while it lasted, wasn’t it?”
-Stephen King, 11/22/63
I received a message from my Dad that my Grandpa (his Dad) was rushed to the hospital since he has the pneumonia. I was crying because I didn’t want anything bad to happen to him. Out of all of my Grandparents, he was the one I was closest with. I couldn’t even imagine what it would be like to live in a world that he doesn’t exist anymore.
I thought back to all of the memories we have shared. And now I just pray and hope that he can get better. Where he lives he isn’t allowed to have any visitors or leave to visit others. So I haven’t seen him in a year, which is obviously the longest I have ever gone without seeing him. So I would call every little while to keep him company. I just would love to talk to him a couple more times.
At the same time, I feel fortunate enough to have had my Grandpa in my life this long. I am almost 27 years old, that makes me feel really lucky.
Today, I will soak in and relish all of the good memories I have. You never know when things in your life can change. Enjoy the goodness in your life. Use them as a reflection for when things go in life. Surround yourself with people who you love, and love you. They are what you need to overcome anything bad.Remember to always live your life to the fullest. Enjoy the company, and enjoy the ride.
This is a post where I talk all about books by answering the following questions…
What have I finished reading?
What am I currently reading?
What will I be reading next?
I had a great week for reading. I was able to finish a lot of books. I was able to finish three books.
What have I finished reading?
I really enjoyed reading this book, I have never read any of her books before. This book was amazing. It had a fast paced plot, which I really liked. All I kept on thinking about was the theme song from Pretty Little Liars. It is the perfect book for Spooktober.
My rating: 3.75 stars out of 5
And
This book is split up into 12 chapters, one for each month. I read a chapter on the first of every month. I have read this book for the past five years or so. Although I have been reading this book more cautiously this year. It’s about Gretchen’s research on happiness, how to find it, and monthly resolutions that help us find happiness. I really enjoyed this book.
My rating: 4 stars out of 5 stars
And
I fell in love with this book, the moment I picked it up. I always wanted to read it years ago, because my sister tried getting into the book. She kept on putting the book down, and picking it back up, but she kept on forgetting what happened. Her solution was to watch the movie. I watched the movie, and I thought it was really well done. I saw the movie several years ago, so I vaguely remember it. I prefer the book better, although I might watch this movie this weekend. Even though my sister found the beginning to be a bit slow, which it was, but it was still well written. I can’t recall if she finished reading the book, but it is really good. I would recommend this book to anyone.
It is about the story of a teenager who gets sent to different foster cares, and each house she is, faces different challenges, and teaches her various lessons about life, and self-growth. I recommend reading the book first, then watching the movie, but that’s just me.
My rating: 4.75 stars out of 5
2. What am I currently reading?
This one is a really long book, and at the end of the day, it’s hard to find motivation to read this with my boyfriend after a long day.
I cannot wait to start reading this book. It looks like a great spooky thriller. I haven’t started it yet, just been finishing up my errands around the house. Thrillers are my favourite books to read. I feel thinking about what is going to happen next. Most thrillers have exciting twists that you didn’t see coming.
3. What will I read next?
Since one of my goals for 2021 is save up more money, this book will definitely help me. I can’t wait to read this book.

I really enjoyed this story, it was like the perfect thriller, and really interesting. I would recommend this book for people who enjoy reading a thriller.
My rating: 4 stars out of 5
2. What am I currently reading?
I got this from the library a few weeks ago, and I already enjoyed reading it. It reminds me a bit of Pretty Little Liars in a way.
And
My boyfriend and I have been really tired to read this in the evening, so we are still reading this book, but we are almost done.
3. What will I be reading next?
This book took a bit longer to get from the library, but that’s okay. I’ve always been interested in reading this book, since my sister has read it before, but she has never finished it. Although several years ago, my sister, our mom, and myself watched the movie together a few summers ago. It was also featured as a book in the Oprah Winfrey’s Book Club back in May of 1999.

This is a memoir of how important education is. And how she self-invented herself from her childhood obstacles. It is a really good story, and I would highly recommend it.
My rating 5 stars out of 5.
2. What am I currently reading?
My boyfriend and I still reading this book, it has been taking us a little while to read it, since it is a long book, and my boyfriend gets tired from working.

This book was a really great book. It was quite spooky, this gave me goosepimples. I heard that Netflix is going to be making this book into a movie sometime . It is said to be filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I am so excited to watch the movie!
This book is about gruesome murders where the graduating class of the local high school are being targeted. Everyone in the school has secrets, so it’s only a matter of time before their secrets become exposed.
My rating: 4 out of 5 stars.
2. What am I currently reading?
My boyfriend and I are still reading this book. It’s a really lengthy, but it is a really good book.
And
I can’t wait to start this book, I’ve heard many great things about it.
3. What will I reading next?
This is another horror book I’m excited for, as well.
I loved to know what books everyone is reading. Let me know in the comments.

I loved this book, and the movie was amazing, too. I loved that the movie was very similar to the book, events, the descriptions of the characters.
2. What am I currently reading?
My boyfriend and I are still reading this. It is a really interesting book.

I really enjoyed this book. It was quite suspenseful. Despite the fact the book takes place in a short amount of time, there is a lot character development, which I really like when I’m reading books.
And
I liked this book, because it inspired me to build better habits, and how to follow through with my goals.
2. What am I currently reading?
I finally got to pick this up at the library. It’s a really great book. I just started reading it, and I already can’t put it down. I watched the movie before. What I like is that Gillian Flynn was a screen writer for the movie, because there is a nice consistency between the movie and the book. I hate when books get adapted into movies or a show, and the screen writers would start changing things. Which is why I am a believer that the book is usually always better than the movies.
And
This is a really long book, but hopefully we’ll finish it before the anniversary of his assassination.
3. What book will I read next?
This looks like like a really spooky movie. I can’t wait to read it.

I have learned a lot from this book. I am really glad I had read it.
2. What am I currently reading?
My boyfriend and I are still reading this book. It’s a really good Stephen King book. It’s about this diner owner who has a time travelling porter in the basement. He asks one of his customer to travel back in time to stop the assassination of John F. Kennedy from happening. We try to read this book every night before bed.
And
3. What will I read next?
Because this is my Grandma’s book from the library, I ought to read it fast. Although I shouldn’t have a problem since my mom and Grandma have read it fairly quickly. It’s a psychological thriller about questioning yourself about how you really know your neighbours.
