It is one again time for a top ten tuesday (as always hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl) that made me go: ‘Huh?’ Don’t you ever have that? You see a topic and you scratch your head, going: ‘I have no idea’.
I really tried doing this one at the top of my head but in the end I drew a blank for a lot and just went through my read stack on goodreads. I came up with a lot more than I thought. And some that I hadn’t even thought about. How could I even forget SIX of Crows. Really, Annemieke?
Anyway below you will see if I can score all the numbers with read books with an added bonus of Zero. I decided to let first, second, twice and so on be apart of this as well since otherwise I thought this list would be so small. It turned out not that bad but still…

Verdict:
I miss one number which is ten. Other numbers like seven and eight I only got to fill in with Dutch children’s books. Which is interesting to realize. But I clearly need to find some more numbered fantasy and sci-fi books. What are your recs?
I’m currently reading Six of Crows and loving it, can’t believe it took me this long. The only one I can think of for Ten is The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E Harrow – it looks amazing.

I like how you’ve done your list this week! I agree with Melanie – the only 10 book that immediately springs to mind is The Ten Thousand Doors of January. 🙂

Amazing listen I would add in Daisy Jones and the Six and Ready Player One. I’m trying and failing to think of one for ten!

Wow, you found a lot. I had lots of choices for some of the numbers too, but I only decided to choose one for each number.

House of the Seven Gables, which I’m re-reading next year, and Seven Years in Tibet which I haven’t read, but loved the movie. 📚
Eight Cousins by Louisa May Alcott, which I hope to read next year, and Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights by Salman Rushdie which I was sent in one of those odds and ends boxes publishers used to send out… but you know me and physical books. Ha ha. Maybe I’ll see it on Hoopla and be inspired. 👍✨

This one had me scratching my head too – and I found number 4, 8 and 10 tricky (but had lots of options on 3 and 9, go figure).

No, I’m with you! I struggled and now I’m going through people’s lists I can’t believe I didn’t think of so many! Heck, my current favourite series has TWO titles (out of 4 books) that have numbers in them and I drew a complete blank! lol

Heb je als kind geen 10 kleine eendjes boek gelezen? 😉 Ik vind dit trouwens echt een leuk lijstje. Zo meteen kan ik voor mezelf niet meteen veel titels met nummer bedenken maar ik vermoed dat het er nog vrij veel zouden zijn wanneer ik er eens echter over zou gaan nadenken.
