Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Hope Santa Brings Me
I’m usually very specific about what I add to my personal library – limited space and a love of reading don’t usually go hand-in-hand. I often will only add titles to my own collection that have already been read as a library book and vetted to my personal taste. But,…

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!
