Top Ten Tuesday: Bookstore I Want to Visit

Top Ten Tuesday: Bingeworthy TV Shows
I watch way more tv than I should, but after a long day at work, sometimes my eyes are too tired to read text, instead I’ll sit in front of the tv, watching some of my favorite shows. These have been some of my favorites both on cable television and…

Top Ten Tuesday: Back to School, Nonfiction I'd Love to Read
There are more books on my TBR than I care to admit, but the ones that most often get pushed to the back burner are nonfiction titles that seem so interesting and yet I just never pick up. So here’s to a new school year and maybe I’ll start whittling…
