Top Ten Tuesday – It's a LOST cause

Posted September 6, 2016 by elzaread in Top Ten Tuesday / 4 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a fun weekly link-up/meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish where they provide a prompt and other lovers of list-making (me! me! me!) join in with their own top ten list. Feel free to have less than 10 or more if you need to at times and put a spin on the topic if you need to. Just please link back to The Broke and the Bookish if you are participating. Link up with your BLOG POST (not your blog) in the linky provided and remember to pay it forward!

Today’s theme for Top Ten Tuesday is A TV themed topic. I had a gazillion ideas for this one:

My Top Ten Favorite TV shows (for real)
What to read if you like this or that TV show
The book was a better show
The show was better than the book
Bad type casting
Good type casting
WTF is going on in….?
Why don’t they make stories like …. anymore?

All those topics just made me feel confused and LOST. Light Bulb! Lets just talk about: (the fact that this was my favorite TV series in forever is completely besides the point)

We all know the story: Plane crashed down on deserted island. Strewn between all the debris, are stacks of books for the survivors to read. See why it really is very, very important to always take a book along on a plane journey? What else are you going to do when you crash on an island? If you are lucky enough to survive, you might as well drag one of those comfy (not) airplane seats closer, use a piece of the fuselage for shade, and get reading.

~~Ten~~ Eleven Books Lost and luckily found by Sawyer:

1. Are you there God, it’s me, Margaret by Judy Blume

8. The Invention of Morel by Adolfo Bioy Casares

For the rest of these, I couldn’t find pictures of Sawyer actually reading them. But we know he did. He will never lie. Ever.

I never finished Lost! I really enjoyed the show (Sawyer especially), but I lost interest. Love your topic choice though! ?

Thanks! We've binge watched Lost. And Sawyer was actually an idiot, but I loved his reading style…

I've read (and loved) almost all of these. Sawyer, you have great taste! I think I will look for Lancelot and The Invention of Morel when I get a chance. Funny to think a tv character recommended books to me.

I love your take on this topic!
