Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
What’s more fun than writing/talking about all the books I have been reading recently? Well, that sounds pretty fun to me! And I’m so excited that this week’s Top Ten Tuesday is exactly that! I hope you enjoy these quick one-sentence reviews and pick up some of these along the way!
