Top Ten Tuesday: Best Villains
This week’s theme is a look at the best villains in books. I read a lot of realistic fiction and there’s always a villain, but it isn’t always a person (although there are a fair number of mean girls!) it’s often a theme or social issue. So, rather than focus on realistic fiction titles, I’ve decided to focus on fantasy titles where it’s easier to name the villain. (I don’t want to name the villains in case you haven’t read any of these stories yet!)
