TOP TEN TUESDAY
January 31, 2017

It’s Top Ten Tuesday, hosted by the wonderful blog at The Broke and the Bookish! This week’s topic was All About the Visuals

So this topic was meant to be about things like graphic novels, comics, or picture books but to be honest… I really don’t read any of those! I tried to come up with something visual and I wanted to go look for book-related graphics and just didn’t do a good enough job of pinning them on my Pinterest account sooooo. I apologize in advance but I’m sharing the graphics that I’ve made for my blog instead! I hope it doesn’t feel too self-promo like BUT it’s also a fun time to share some older posts with graphics that some new blog followers may not have seen or things that just got lost along the way!

One of my favorite graphics series is the collection of “If You Liked…” posts! I select a book (or sometimes TV show, in the case of Gilmore Girls) and pick book recommendations based off of it! I’m SUPER picky about my book recommendations and sometimes they do venture a little off base if you don’t know where I’m going with them so I have full explanations down below the graphic in each post too!

• If You Liked…
  • The Fault In Our Stars by John Green
  • If I Stay by Gayle Forman
  • Divergent by Veronica Roth
  • Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
  • Harry Potter
  • The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer
  • The Winner’s Curse by Marie Rutkoski
  • Gilmore Girls

My very first graphics that I ever started was a series that I cleverly (or maybe just a bad pun) called The Book Addict’s GUIDE and I picked a topic to recommend my favorite books! These were less read alikes, more just my favorites in a particular topic! The first ones are SUPER old and so outdated (like omg, four years by now) so start with the later ones (end of the list) if you want better graphics and more recent recommendations!

• The Book Addict’s GUIDE to…
  • Contemporary (YA)
  • Paranormal/Sci-Fi/Fantasy (YA)
  • Crossover Books (YA for adult readers and adult for YA readers)
  • Male POVs (in YA)
  • Duologies
  • Queens of Contemporary

My last set of graphics that I do on my blog are all on the older side since I haven’t run and polls or surveys in forever! They were so much fun but gathering all of that data, sorting, adding, and then setting it all up in a graphic of my own design was a lot of work!! I would love to do one again but I don’t see it happening any time soon!

• Results from:
  • Survey on Book Reviews + Review habits
  • Social Media Survey
  • How to Make Goodreads Work for YOU/Goodreads habits

 Do you do any graphics for your blog or any social media? If you enjoy any of these series, let me know if there’s something you want to see! I’m always looking for ideas!
