Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. For the rules see her blog.
These are books I read before I started BooksPlease. They are all books I read in 2006 and although I may have mentioned them on my blog I’ve not reviewed them.










- The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova
- The Hound of the Baskervilles by Arthur Conan Doyle
- Vanishing Acts by Jodie Picoult
- The Kraken Wakes by John Wyndham
- The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde
- The Handmaid’s tale by Margaret Atwood
- The Horse Whisperer by Nicholas Evans
- Middle Age by Joyce Carol Oates
- Howards End by E M Forster
- Breathing Lessons by Anne Tyler
I’ve made a list of books I read before I reviewed what I read and I plan to try to reread and review some of these each year.

That’s a good idea – I could try to review some of them, although some of them were library books, and some I no longer own.

Your Top Tens are always really clever, Margaret! And I like your choices of books, too. There’s never enough time to read and review everything, is there? I have a list of books I’ve not mentioned on my blog, too…

Thanks, Margot. No, there’s never enough time to read and review everything! And sometimes I struggle writing a review, when I don’t feel strongly about a book.

I loved The Handmaid’s Tale.

Great list! I had a Jodi Picoult book on my list today and The Picture of Dorian Gray as well! I’m kinda surprised I haven’t mentioned JP more on my blog considering how much I love her books.

I haven’t read many of Jodi Picoult’s books – I did note that I thought Vanishing Acts was excellent.

Vanishing Acts is one of the few Jodi Picoult books I didn’t really like, I can’t remember exactly why, I just remember finding it kind of boring. Glad you enjoyed it more than I did though!

The Historian is a book I planned to reread last year and didn’t get to. Hopefully this year. Jodi Picoult is a bit hit and miss with me. I’ve read a couple that I liked but tried to read another one last month and gave up after 40 pages.

I’ve read a few by Jodi Picoult and that was also before I began blogging, so don’t remember much about them. One of the reasons I began blogging was to remind myself what I thought about the books I’ve read – even if it’s just a few lines.

Such good titles! I’ve read The Handmaid’s Tale, Breathing Lessons, The Horse Whisperer, and Vanishing Acts and remember debating whether to read The Historian, which is a chunkster of a book. And I saw a movie on TV about Dorian Gray, if that counts
