Top Ten Tuesday Suggestions!

Have a great TTT topic? Did an awesome topic for a freebie that you think others would enjoy? Share them here! We will credit you with the great idea if we think it could work! We do try to keep the topic fairly general so as not to exclude a huge group of readers. For example, Top Ten Vampire Books or Top Ten Books Set in Russia would be probably too specific for the group as a whole but would make a great freebie topic if you wanted to do it!

After almost 3 years of coming up with TTT topic (and not doing TOO much repeating)..I'm definitely hitting a wall. I'm going to revisit the old topics that we did WAY in the beginning but also holler if you like any of those and want it to come back.

Thanks you guys for making Top Ten Tuesday so much fun! I am always amazed at the great discussion and comments that I end up having here and on my own blog come Top Ten Tuesday day (not to mention the crazy amounts of books I end up adding).

Leave suggestions in the comments so others can weigh in! Or if you feel more comfortable, email me at brokeandbookish (at) gmail (dot) com!

  1. I always think of good ones when it's NOT a freebie week and then I forget them!

    Book Turn-offs (ex. insta-love, words mispelled, ect.)

    Books you would give a high school class to read if you were the teacher

    Songs you would give to certain book couples

  2. How about 'Top Ten Books I Will Never Forget'? In case that has not already been done, I think that every reader can connect to it and talk about the books they have loved the most and/or have changed their lives. : )

  3. Top Ten Books You Hated But Were Made To Read
    Top Ten Favorite Books Featuring Animals
    Top Ten Books Nobody Has Read But You
    Top Ten Publishers
    Top Ten Bookish Friends of You
    Top Ten Bookish Blogs You Follow

    Just some of my ideas...

    Have a nice day!

  4. I just joined Top Ten Tuesday this year and here are some previous topics that I think would be good repeats: Favourite book quotes, favourite villains, and favourite covers.

    I also have an idea for a topic that I don't think has been used: Top Ten Opening Lines (from books).

    I love Top Ten Tuesday and wanted to say thanks for creating it and keeping it up! :)

  5. I'm not sure what has already been done but here's some that came to mind:

    Top Ten Blog Features
    Top Ten Worlds (be it a time period, dystopian society, science-fiction)
    Top Ten Best Ways to Advertise Your Blog.

    1. I did something like that on my blog recently--it was a lot of fun! =) But yeah, I had to put a spoiler warning before the entry just to be on the safe side ;)

  9. could you also do things like: with a color/animal/flower, etc in the title? title starting with a B? or top ten set in a foreign country?

  12. I'm relatively new to these top 10 tuesdays so I haven't participated yet and don't know if these have already been done.

  28. What about top ten picture books? I think most of us have fond (or maybe not so fond) memories of certain picture books from our childhood. One of mine is Corderoy, simply because my kindergarten teacher had a giant sized copy of it (seriously like 3 feet long) that I thought was THE coolest thing ever. I now have one of those giant read-aloud copies of Corderoy, stashed away for my future children.

    or possibly (some of these I'm sure have been done before)
    top ten books about friendship
    top ten non-fiction
    top ten books about a culture besides your own (I LOVE books about mid-East, Asia, and India)

  33. Top Ten Books featuring people of color

    Because we are, sadly, still underrepresented in books, in the publishing industry, and in the blogosphere. And diversity is a wonderful educator, so we should all try our utmost to be conscious of how we incorporate it into our lives and passions.

  34. A number of weeks ago now we did Top Ten Bookish Memories... I do not possess many bookish memories so I altered my post to Top Ten Bookish Memories I Hope To Have... The topic seemed to go down pretty well, with even a couple of comments saying they'd like to do the post too as a TTT.

  45. I am not sure I have anything new to contribute. I love ideas of series that should not have been a series, standalones that should have been series, and books I am glad that I gave a second chance. Someone else suggested a book/drink pairing, but I was going to suggest a book/snack pairing. I would love to see some lists that get me out of my comfort zone. Sometimes I feel like I have the same ten books on my lists....because they are awesome and my favorite. But I could do a better job of sharing the love...How about the top ten books that you forget to recommend because you are too busy gushing over the latest flavor of the month (I am so guilty of this!)

    ReplyDelete

  49. How about Top ten reveals (Spoiler warnings apply :) )? That moment when what's going on starts to fall into place and you feel that tingle all over - excitement, horror, but whatever it is, it snuck up on you and it's caused a visceral reaction

    ReplyDelete

    Top Ten Short Stories
