Top Ten Tuesday is an original blog meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and is currently being hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is “One-Word Reviews for the Last Ten Books I Read.” I am going to change this week’s topic just a little bit and instead of doing one-word reviews for these last ten books I read, I am going to play one-word association. It’s the first word that comes to mind when I think of these books and I feel like that is a better representation of what you can expect from them. Covers linked to Goodreads.
1. Heartstopper: Volume One by Alice Oseman – PRECIOUS
2. The Tea Dragon Society by Katie O’Neill – WELCOMING
3. The Astonishing Color of After by Emily X.R. Pan – GRIEF-STRICKEN
4. Spy x Family, Vol. 1 by Tatsuya Endo – AMUSING
5. The Fastest Way to Fall by Denise Williams – SWOON-WORTHY
6. Witch Hat Atelier, Vol. 1 by Kamome Shirahama – ENCHANTING
7. Cherish Farrah by Bethany C. Morrow – DISTURBING
8. Sweethand by N.G. Peltier – DELECTABLE
9. Recipe for Persuasion by Sonali Dev – YEARNING
10. XOXO by Axie Oh – CUTE
Have you read any of these? What word would you use to describe these? Let me know in the comments and be sure to leave me a link to your own TTT post, so I can visit!
It was a fun activity. I had trouble limiting myself to one word for the reviews. That was a chore picking one best word. <a href="https://headfullofbooks.blogspot.com/2022/05/ttt-one-word-reviews.html"<One Word Reviews

It definitely wasn’t easy. I was tempted to make this two words at one point.

I plan to pick up Witch Hat Atelier 6 this month. I love the artwork. I’m really enjoying Spy x Family. I was excited to see both on your list. I completely broke the rules for this theme. I couldn’t do just one word. I did try to keep it simple though.

Great post! A few of these are on my TBR and your word associations have me more excited to read them 😃 I also totally agree about your picks for Witch Hat Atelier, Hearstopper, TACOA and The Tea Dragon Society—they’re perfect descriptors.

Ah this is a lovely post, I love that idea! Heartstopper is so, so precious, I agree. And The Astonishing Color of After was a beautiful read, but yes, very painful to read at times, too!
