Top 5 Tuesday topics: October-December 2021

Hello bookworms!! Welcome to the Top 5 Tuesday topics post: October-December 2021!! Yes, it’s the spooky wrap up time of the year!!

We are staying with the quarterly topics, as I’ve had some great feedback from you all about it. Also, you’ll see some repeats in December because I really love doing wrap-up posts towards the end of the year!!

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!!

Top 5 Tuesday topics: October 2021

For October, we’re still going a little bit halloween, but not totally. It’s more like an abstract scary vibe.

5 October: Top 5 horror/thriller tropes that don’t scare you

Let’s talk about horror tropes that you are brave in the face of… or that you find mildly ridiculous to funny.

12 October: Top 5 books that did scare you

I don’t read scary books, so I can imagine my list for this week will be filled with Goosebumps books from my childhood. But please bring awareness to all the books that scared (and maybe scarred) you.

19 October: Top 5 spooky worlds

Spooky worlds are a THING. Let’s talk about all the places you never want to go… Or maybe you do want to go if you’re into that sort of thing!!

26 October: Top 5 creepy covers

I am really into book covers at the moment, can you tell?! (If not, please see the August prompts.) But let’s chat about all those book covers that give you super creepy atmospheric vibes!!

Top 5 Tuesday topics: November 2021

November is a bit of a mixed bag this year. We have a mostly trope-love month coming for you, sprinkled with a dash of wrap-up, and a FREEBIE!!

2 November: Top 5 tropes I can’t get enough of

Hello. Are you like me, and as soon as book lists 3 tropes you immediately add it to your TBR? What are those tropes that add books faster to your TBR than saying ‘TBR’?

9 November: Top 5 tropes I dislike

Inversely, are there tropes that really turn you off a book?

16 November: Top 5 bad tropes done well

And because there are exceptions to every rule (or loopholes), what are some tropes that you normally dislike, but were done well in certain books?!

23 November: Top 5 books I haven’t read yet in 2021

What are some of the books you wanted to read this year, but just haven’t quite gotten to yet? And tell us if you think you’ll be able to cram them into your December TBR!!

30 November: *FREEBIE* 

I feel like we haven’t had a freebie for a while, so this one is for everyone that has wanted one.
If you would like some inspiration though, I will be posting a Top 5 most recent reads.

Top 5 Tuesday topics: December 2021

Hello end of year wrap up vibes. December is one of my fave months of the year. Partially because I don’t need to think too hard for topics. But also because I love looking back at the year that was.
