Hello and a very warm welcome to damppebbles. It’s Tuesday which means it’s time for this week’s Top Ten Tuesday post. I’ve decided to take part in That Artsy Reader Girl’s Top Ten Tuesday meme to mix things up a little here at damppebbles. Add a little bit of variety to our bookish weeks.
The meme was originally created by The Broke and the Bookish but has lived with Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl since January 2018. It was created to encompass a love of books, of lists and to bring readers together. If you would also like to take part then you’re very welcome: the more, the merrier. Just make sure you link back to Jana’s post every week. If you don’t have a blog, then no problem, just add your list to the comments below.
This week’s theme is Books That Live in My Head Rent-Free. Now, I’ve already compiled this list because this is a theme I came up with a couple of months ago (and then submitted to Jana for everyone else to struggle over 😂). But there are so many books that occupy my thoughts that I couldn’t see the harm in compiling a second list. So here goes. Books That Live in My Head Rent-Free (Part 2)…
1. Come With Me by Ronald Malfi
2. The Book of Guilt by Catherine Chidgey
3. I Was a Teenage Slasher by Stephen Graham Jones
7. On the Savage Side by Tiffany McDaniel
8. Good Neighbours by Sarah Langan
9. The First Day of Spring by Nancy Tucker
So many really good (great!) books here. All of them were a reading experience. All of them I can’t forget (nor do I want to) and think about often. Have you read any of these books? Planning on reading any? Are you taking part in Top Ten Tuesday this week? Let me know in the comments.
So there we have it! If you fancy joining in next week then head on over to That Artsy Reader Girl’s blog to find out what the next theme is!

I talked myself out of this prompt because I couldn’t pick an angle to take, but next time I’ll be ready!
Thanks for sharing your #TTT

I’ve read only 2 of these books. I have added Wake to my TBR shelf.

The only one here I’m familiar with is I Was a Teenager Slasher. I’ve heard great things about the author’s books, but I’ve hesitated to read them as I’m not a huge fan of horror.

Hex is really good! Is the interconnected novel Orakel (Oracle?) translated yet?

My memory is so bad that I couldn’t think of anything for this topic. I’ve enjoyed reading other people’s lists today, though! I haven’t read any of your picks, although TALL BONES looks intriguing. I’m going to check that one out.
Happy TTT!
