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
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
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.

Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I Read in 2014

Top Ten Tuesday: Series I Want to Start
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
One of the main reasons that I read is to experience events and ideas that I wouldn't otherwise experience.

I immediately thought of at least five different places that … Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: 10 Places I’m Dying to Visit

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.
