Top Ten Tuesday: Satisfying Book Series
I am not great at series and I’ll be the first to admit it! I’ll start a series and love the first book, but then it falls apart! Often, the rest of the series hasn’t been published yet and by the time the next book is published, I’ve often forgotten…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’d Like to Re-Read
Today’s theme was so easy it was almost too hard! When I was little I would often re-read books, especially in between trips to the library, but as an adult I don’t have as much to time to re-read books. I prefer to read books that are new to me…
