Top Ten Tuesday: Character Romances

February 10, 2015 ~ Emily Bourque

It's Valentine's week! I have a date booked for Saturday (and it's been booked for weeks), which means that miracles do happen. In the spirit of the day of love, I'll be getting mushy on the blog this week!Looking at my Goodreads, I realized that, um, I don't read a lot of romances. Books that … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Character Romances

Top Ten Tuesday: Historical Fiction Novels I Need to Read

February 3, 2015 ~ Emily Bourque

I love historical fiction. I blame it on my mom being a history teacher. There's just something so fascinating about a good fiction story being thrown into the middle of the past, and the more facts, the better. As much as I love historical fiction, there are a few famous historical fiction novels I haven't read … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Historical Fiction Novels I Need to Read

Top Ten Tuesday: 2015 Releases I Want to Read

January 20, 2015 ~ Emily Bourque

As always, Top Ten Tuesdays are hosted at The Broke and the Bookish!This was a hard topic for me. Typically, I don't really pay attention to release dates when choosing books, and I hardly ever read new releases because I usually get my books from the library and/or buying new books is expensive. However, all … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: 2015 Releases I Want to Read

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I Read in 2014

December 30, 2014 ~ Emily Bourque

So I definitely had to go through Goodreads to figure out which novels I've read this year... Even if I slacked off on the blog, Goodreads kept track for me. At the beginning of the year, I set a goal to read 36 books by the end of the year. I figured, I'm in grad … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I Read in 2014

Top Ten Tuesday: Characters I Wish Had Their Own Books

November 11, 2014 ~ Emily Bourque

This was a hard TTT for me. Typically, I read novels that are shown from multiple points of view (eliminating a need for a secondary character novel, like The Memory Keeper's Daughter) or the few novels I would want to see a different point of view from have already been written (ahem, If I Say/Where … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Characters I Wish Had Their Own Books

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Want to ReRead

November 4, 2014 ~ Emily Bourque

Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by The Broke and Bookish) was an easy one for me this week! I'm a huge fan of rereading books because I read so quickly and rereading allows me to find things I missed the first time around. I have a whole shelf on Goodreads dedicated to books I want to … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Want to ReRead

Top Ten Tuesday: Series I Want to Start

October 21, 2014 ~ Emily Bourque ~ 24 Comments

Series are a big commitment for any reader. Seriously, when you start a novel that you know has a few follow-up novels, there's pressure! Do you want to commit to these characters for 2-5 more novels? (Don't even get me started on the commitment that is the Outlander series.) However, I love finding a great series … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Series I Want to Start

Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Places I’m Dying to Visit

October 14, 2014 ~ Emily Bourque ~ 27 Comments

One of the main reasons that I read is to experience events and ideas that I wouldn't otherwise experience. This week's Top Ten Tuesday hosted by The Broke and The Bookish spoke to my heart -- 10 Places Books Have Made Me Want to Visit. I immediately thought of at least five different places that … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Places I’m Dying to Visit

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Character-Based Novels

October 7, 2014 ~ Emily Bourque

Each week, The Broke and The Bookish hosts a linkup for book bloggers -- Top Ten Tuesday! This week, the theme is Favorite Character-Based Novels.This topic was interesting for me, because I've always felt like I am a plot-driven reader. That is, I prefer a book that has a strong plot line over a lot … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Character-Based Novels
