    Top Ten Tuesday: The Big, Bad Wolf

    Top Ten Tuesday header

    Today’s Top Ten Tuesday theme is all about villains. While I could have gone for epic villains in children’s literature like The Trunchbull in Matilda or Severine from The Jumbies. I decided to go in a little bit of a different direction and share the fractured fairy tales of the…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Books With Occupations in the Title

    Top Ten Tuesday header

    This was a fun list to pull together and I’ll be honest to say I started with a completely different list of books before pivoting to the list I pulled together below. Rather than choose ten different occupations, I decided to share ten books with the word “librarian” in the…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Books with a High Page Count

    This theme could also be labeled, “Books that would make great doorstops” because these titles are quite hefty! Almost all of the books I’ve selected are over 1,000 pages and are chunky. And I’ll be the first to admit, I’ve only actually read one of the books on this list…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Honorifics in the Title

    Top Ten Tuesday header

    This Top Ten Tuesday theme was a little trickier than others, especially because I tend to focus on children’s books. And while stories like Dear Mr. Henshaw and Because of Mr. Terupt would have worked, I decided to take a different route and focus (almost) solely on historical fiction romances!…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’d Like to Re-Read

    Top Ten Tuesday header

    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…
