Top 5 Tuesday topics: August-September 2023

Hello friends!! Welcome to the Top 5 Tuesday topics post: August-September 2023!!

August-September, you ask? Yes. I didn’t realise that it was July until the start of this week, which was the end of the month. Like, I knew it was July, but my poor, melted brain didn’t actually compute that it was July, and therefore we needed new topics. It’s a problem.

So, July was a mini (accidental) hiatus from Top 5 Tuesday. Sending you all my most sincere apologies. Fingers crossed this won’t happen again!!

Top 5 Tuesday was created by Shanah at Bionic Book Worm, and it is my absolute privilege and pleasure to say that it is now being hosted here, at Meeghan reads!!

1 August: Top 5 anticipated reads for July-September 2023

8 August: Top 5 books based on Roman mythology

August is named for Caesar Augustus, former Roman emperor, so let’s talk about some books based on Roman mythology!

15 August: Top 5 jobs that only exist in books

I’ve been thinking about this topic since Ginatre has been hosting her magical read-a-thon and started including fantasy occupations in the mix. You can do a top 5 on the fictional jobs you think would be most popular, or the top 5 that you wish you could do!

In March we did audiobook narrators, but now let’s look at which books were the best audio that you read (and tell us why)!
