Welcome back to Top 10 Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl! Today’s prompt is First Ten Books I Reviewed (These do not have to be formal reviews. A small sentence on a retailer site or Goodreads counts, too!). This was such a fun chance to look back on some of my first reviews on my blog. I joined Goodreads about the same time as I started Greenish Bookshelf (nearly FOUR years ago!) so I decided to share my first books reviews here. Enjoy!
(Listed chronologically by my review publication starting with the earliest)
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Selection Series & The Heir by Kiera Cass
Matilda by Roald Dahl
The Princess Bride by William Goldman
To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before by Jenny Han
Matched by Alli Condie
The Maze Runner by James Dashner
What are some of the first books you reviewed?
The Night Circus and The Princess Bride are a couple of my favorites. š

I also enjoyed participating in the TTT theme this week! I loved going back to read my earliest reviews. I cringed a bit over my formatting, BUT my voice is the same.
I liked that you have such a mix of genres here! All of my early reviews are of historical fiction since that was all I was reading when I joined the bookish community. Some of my first reviews were The Girl Who Wrote in Silk, Orphan Train, and The Beekeeper’s Apprentice.

Haha, isn’t it funny to see how our style develops over time? I’ve changed my formatting a bit too.
Thank you! It’s fun to look back on these early reviews. I’ve had The Girl Who Wrote in Silk on my TBR for ages (probably inspired by your review!) but I think I need to bump that up on my TBR.

I feel like I reviewed The Selection pretty early on, too. It wasn’t in my first ten, though. I like how diverse this list is.
