Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

I’ve been participating in Top Ten Tuesday for a few years now. I love that it makes me think about kid lit in different ways – looking for new titles coming out, my favorite titles about a specific theme, and other bookish-related things!
