Hi hello and welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! This weekly post is hosted by the wonderful Jana from That Artsy Reader Girl so please be sure to go check out her post with all of the information about TTT. The topic this week is a freebie, which means you can write about literally anything you can think of. I went through a few ideas and then I landed on this one: books as described by my husband. He loves to guess what I'm reading, and helps me pick out books sometimes, but he's not a super big reader like I am so I thought it would be funny to have him describe what he thinks a book is about based on the cover. I tried to pick a few he would recognize from my shelves, like ACOTAR and Empire of the Vampire, but I threw a few curveballs in there just for some fun. Let’s get started!
___________________________________________________________________________
1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
"Oh I know this one, it's faerie porn."
2. Lightlark by Alex Aster
"Ancient curse. Like a group of people protecting the thing. Whatever the secret or bloodline or thing people can't know, that's what they're protecting."
4. Harrow the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir
5. Empire of the Vampire by Jay Kristoff
Jamie: “Looks like it’s cold so they gotta stay warm somehow!”

1. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
"Light what? What’s a lark? I don’t know what that is? I think this one is about a bard, and I'm assuming there's space involved based on the stars. I like the gold filigree on this, though."
"I'm assuming this is not a Spirit Halloween employee? Definitely a she controls the dead type of thing based on the skeletons.”
“Is that Yasuo? Based off of the snake, eagle, wolf, bear, I’m guessing they’re some sort of blood creatures and Yasuo goes to magic school?”
Me: “Okay what’s this one about?”
Jamie: “The fourth wing. Not the third, not the fifth, the fourth.”
“A girl serial killer who is killing all of the other girl serial killers because they think they’re the final girl serial killers but they’re not the final girl serial killers.”
Jamie: “I’m guessing it’s about Lily and Snape, past that I don’t know. What am I supposed to be getting about the cover?”
Me: zooms in on characters
Jamie: “…so he kisses with his eyes open? Is that it?”
Jamie: laughs “Come on now.”
Me: “WHAT IS IT ABOUT TELL ME.”
Jamie: googles tentacle hentai “Come on now.”
Jamie: “Looks like it’s cold so they gotta stay warm somehow!”
Me: “It’s smutty and has big blue aliens.”
Jamie: “NO. YOU DON’T SAY. IT COULDN’T BE. IS THERE A SIZE DIFFERENCE, TOO?”

And that’s it for this Top Ten Tuesday freebie post! I have to say, this is one of the funniest posts I’ve done. He definitely gave me the eyebrow raise of judgement for all ten of these covers and I could not stop laughing as he tried to tell me what he thought they were about. But I loved involving him in this and I hope you guys get a kick out of his responses. I’m already thinking of another post to have him be involved in! What did you do for this freebie post? I’m excited to see all of the variations that people come up with this week because the possibilities are endless! Please feel free to link your post below in the comments so I can come check it out. And let me know which description my husband gave was your favorite! Thanks for stopping by and I’ll see you in the next chapter!
