Happy Tuesday, readers! Today’s Top Ten topic is “The First 10 Books I Randomly Grabbed from My Shelf.” Isn’t that fun? To keep it truly random, I used an online number generator and chose one book from 10 shelves. The genres chosen were all over the places.

- Estuary by Lisa T. Bergren – Medieval Time Travel
- Not By Sight by Kate Breslin – Historical Fiction
- Meet Addy by Connie Rose Porter – Children’s Historical Fiction
- Our Town by Thornton Wilder – Theatrical Script
- The Grace Crasher by Mara Faro – Christian Romance
- Uncharted Mercy by Keeley Brooke Keith – Historical Fiction/Dystopian/Magical Realism mashup
- The Forgotten Queen by Kortney Keisel – Dystopian Romance
- The Curse He Chose by Sr. Allison Regina Gliot, FSP – Christian Paranormal
- The Haunted Showboat by Carolyn Keene – Nancy Drew Mystery
- Death Panels by Michelle Buckman – Christian Dystopian
Have you read any of these books? Pick a book at random from your shelf. Would you recommend it to me?

Some old-school YA there! Nice. 🙂
I had to divide my bookcases into ‘zones’ and then ask AI for random numbers for each zone:

You were smart to use a random number generator. I know my bookshelves to well for something like this to ever be truly random. It was still a fun exercise, though!
I was a huge Nancy Drew fan when I was a kid. I started rereading the books this year and it’s been very fun and nostalgic.
Happy TTT (on a Wednesday)!

I loved Nancy Drew as a kid and actually own a couple first editions from my grandma. I’ve been using my ThriftBooks rewards points to complete the collection.

I know I read Meet Addy as a kid, but I’m not sure if I ever finished that series!

I only own books 1-4. I’ve been slowly completing my American Girl collection when I find them at thrift stores.
