Top Ten Tuesday: YA Thrills & Chills
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday theme is a Halloween Freebie, so I went in a direction that I usually steer far away from – YA Thrillers and Horror Books. I am not a huge fan of being scared, so most of these titles I haven’t read, but I do like…

Top Ten Tuesday: Unique Book Titles
I went with play-on-word titles or titles that have words that don’t belong together (or maybe don’t make sense together) and other titles that are just unexpected. I haven’t read most of these books, so they’ll get put on my TBR list too!

I read a number of these years ago and I’d really like to go back and re-read at least a little bit of them to see if I feel the same way. Most of the books on this list are loved by others, but for whatever reason I just couldn’t…
