Top Ten Tuesday

 
Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly meme hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. 

This week's theme:  BOOKS THAT PROVIDE A MUCH NEEDED ESCAPE.

For me, I turn to more light-hearted, magical reads when I need an escape from real life:  books with humor & heart, quirky friendships, cute dogs, exotic settings, swoony romances, a touch of the supernatural, and of course, a happy ending. But really, any favorite book can be a welcome escape! Here are ten of mine:

Well Traveled by Jen DeLuca




Silverborne by Patricia Briggs




The Confessor by Daniel Silva




The Gargoyle Gets His Girl by Kristen Painter
(Though all of Painter's Nocturne Falls books are favs.)



Something From the Nightside by Simon R. Green




Beauty by Robin McKinley




Altar of Eden by James Rollins




The Match by Sarah Adams 




Space Cadet by Robert A. Heinlein




My Phony Valentine by Courtney Walsh




Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
(Or any of Jane Austen's books really.)




The Widow of Rose House by Diana Biller




This list of books could be A LOT longer; I have so many books that I turn to when I need an escape from real life. But I think I better stop here. Can't wait to check out your favorite escapes.

Happy Reading!
