Top Ten Tuesday: Books for My Brother
This week is a FREEBIE week for Top Ten Tuesday, so with my brother’s birthday today, I decided to create a top ten list just for him. Growing up, my brother wasn’t much of a book reader, but he loved sports statistics and could rattle off stats for pretty much…

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Loved But Will Never Re-read
I used to re-read books all the time when I was little, finding comfort in the stories that I knew from cover to cover. Now, working in the library and on this blog, I rarely feel as though I have the time to re-read books at all (which is why…
