Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is non-bookish hobbies. Wait, is there such a thing? You mean there’s something people do for fun that doesn’t include books???
Honestly, other than reading, there’s really not that much I’m doing for fun these days… so I thought I’d include my current hobbies and my pre- (and hopefully post-) COVID activities too.
Pre-COVID, some of my favorites hobbies and amusements:
- Travel (Oh, I miss travel so much!)
- Museums
- Hiking, especially at state and national parks
- LIve theater
- SEEING FAMILY
And these days…
- Long walks
- Jigsaw puzzles
- Phone/Zoom/FaceTime with distant friends and relatives
- Binge-watching TV series
… and that’s all I can think of that doesn’t include books or reading!
As for today — Election Day — I’m grateful to have my job, blogging, and participating in TTT to distract me. This is going to be a LONG day.
What are your favorite non-bookish hobbies? What are you doing to entertain yourself during COVID?

I love museums! Whenever I travel they’re the first thing I seek out.
Me too! I love my city’s local museums too, and even though they’ve reopened over the last few weeks, I think it’ll be a while before I feel comfortable going.
When I travel museums are always tops on the list. https://pmprescott.blogspot.com/2020/11/ttt-non-bookish-hobbies.html
I miss them so much!
I should have put travelling on mine as well, I hope we can back to it soon!
My post!
I hope so! Although I can’t imagine feeling safe enough to travel any time soon.
I adored museums in pre-covid days, too! And I still enjoy long walks and jigsaw puzzles.
My post.
Great ways to pass the time!

Yes, long day indeed, or should we say “long week” because who knows what kind of stunts you know who is going to try to drag things out… I’m the same way, most of my hobbies revolve around books!
Ugh, I’m trying to stay off news sites for now, because there is no news, but it’s so hard not to keep refreshing and hoping for any little tidbit of information.
I miss live theater. I want to say my new puzzle hobby takes its place well, but not really. 😉
Sad to say, at this point it feels normal to be in my house every single day and night!
Yeah, it really does. When I go somewhere, I’m like wait! This feels wrong.
I miss live theatre too… I can’t wait to see a play again, hopefully next year! I’m really into photography as well and right now is such a beautiful time for taking loads of pictures! 😀
Ah, that must be so enjoyable! I have a few friends who are into photography, and I love seeing their nature photos on social media!
Travel, museums, live theatre, all my favourites too! Though I don’t them often even before covid.. I should once everything starts back soon!!
Here’s my TTT
I do hope we can get back to all our pre-COVID hobbies safely, and soon!
I like going to museums, my favorites are art museums. I haven’t gone to any in a really long time (way before COVID) but I remember enjoying art and science museums with my family when I was a kid. Here’s my post.: https://sarahscorner82914520.wordpress.com/2020/11/03/my-top-10-non-bookish-hobbies/
I love science museums! I think science and natural history museums are my favorites, although I enjoy art museums too.
Lovely post! Ooo hiking in national parks sounds so interesting, I’ve always wanted to try it. I got into musicals over lockdown so did my top ten musicals for this post (wasn’t sure what else to do lol, but you had some great ideas!) Check it out 🙂 https://hundredsandthousandsofbooks.blog/2020/11/03/ttt-top-ten-musicals-i-want-to-watch/
Musicals! How awesome! I love musicals, but it’s been a long time since I’ve had a chance to enjoy one. Great topic!
Museums and theatre … two of my favorites, too! I can’t imagine what it’ll be like when I get to watch a musical with a live audience again.
I think it’ll be a long time before any of us can relax in a crowded indoor space. I know some movie theaters are opening, but there’s no way I’d want to be there!
Right? I think my local movie theater opened back up, but I can’t imagine sitting through a film in it right now!
