    Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Surprised Me

    Top Ten Tuesday

    I’m so interested in this week’s theme because it can go in so many different directions! Did the plot or characters surprise you, where you surprised by the story because it didn’t match what you thought it was about, did it have an unreliable narrator? Or did you go a…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Unpopular Bookish Opinions

    Top Ten Tuesday

    Today’s list came together pretty quickly because apparently I have a lot of opinions about books! Whether they’re unpopular is probably more up to debate. But, I bet some of these opinions are more likely to be unpopular with the general population, whereas I can bet that the bookish world…

    Spring is here and today’s a nice and easy Top Ten Tuesday theme – books with springy covers! I love spring, in fact, I took myself on a little spring trek through the neighborhood and took photos of all the new flowers and buds that were opening up! It’s so…

    Top Ten Tuesday

    I may be becoming the person who never follows the exact prompt of Top Ten Tuesday! But, while today’s official prompt is “Books I Did Not Finish” I don’t like to be so negative on my blog and while I may not have liked some books, that doesn’t mean it…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Characters That Have Stuck With Me

    Top Ten Tuesday

    While today’s official prompt is “Things Characters Have Said”, I had to adapt it a bit since I am the worst reader when it comes to remembering many details. And if I had tried to find ten things characters have said the list would be extremely disjointed and would have…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Books Set In Another Time

    Top Ten Tuesday

    Historical fiction titles have been some of my favorite reads for most of my life. I started reading historical fiction with books like Little House on the Prairie and the American Girl series and now I love to read middle grade and YA titles that expand beyond some of the…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Never Reviewed

    Top Ten Tuesday

    After years of book blogging, I’ve come to the realization that I really don’t like writing book reviews. I don’t necessarily think that I’m a strong enough writer to write quality book reviews and I don’t tend to read carefully enough to take in the details needed for a book…
