| Top Ten… Book Quotes By P. G. Wodehouse |

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! For this week’s top ten I’ve decided to narrow down my favourite quotes to just one author – P. G. Wodehouse.  A master of the metaphor, whose books a consistently laugh out loud funny, P. G. Wodehouse is one of my favourite non-speculative fiction authors. If you’re yet to discover his witty and wonderful novels, scroll down for a taste of the finest 20th Century humour.

| Top Ten… Books I Could Re-Read Forever |

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This week we’re looking at the Top Ten books we could re-read forever.

There are so many books I would happily pick up and read again and again and, in the past few years, this list has only grown. Keeping this Top Ten to only ten books was, therefore, quite a challenge. But, as with all these lists, there are those books that ultimately deserve a place.

These are the books that I adored as a child and inspired my love of the weird, the magical, the fantastic and the witty; these are the books that will always have a place on my bookshelf.

| 1. |

The Lord of the Rings

by J.R.R. Tolkien

| 2. |

The Hobbit

by J.R.R. Tolkien

| 3. |

Tough Travelling: Tricksters

---

Join me each Thursday for some Tough Travelling with the Tough Guide, hosted by Fantasy Review Barn. Inspired by ‘The Tough Guide to Fantasyland,‘ we will set out on a quest to track down the biggest tropes and clichés in fantasy fiction.

| Tricksters |

A great prank is always amusing.  Many an adventure start with a well placed trick.  They are even more amusing when performed by those with god like powers.

Apologies for the sporadic posting, I’ve just started a new job so I’m still settling into the routine! This week’s Tough Travelling is looking at the conmen, pranksters and cardsharks who make a habit of turning up at opportune moments to deplete you of your possessions, your sanity and, more often than not, your dignity. In no particular order, here are this week’s five (or seven) troublemakers:

| 1. |

Merry & Pippin

The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien

| 2. |

Fred & George Weasley

Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling

| 3. | 

Mat Cauthon

The Wheel of Time by Robert Jordan

| 4. |

Wit (or Hoid)

The Stormlight Archive (or the Cosmere) by Brandon Sanderson

| 5. |

Locke Lamora

The Gentleman Bastard Sequence by Scott Lynch
