Top Ten Tuesday #10: Best Books I Read Before I Was A Blogger

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish to highlight a top ten list related to book blogging, and to get to know fellow book bloggers. GREAT topic. It took me a long time to jump on the blogging bandwagon, so this is a great one for me to spotlight all of my old favourites! I still recommend these to people a lot: 1. Secret Society Girl series by Diana Peterfreund – finding SSG and Diana’s blog was a big part of my descent (or ascent?) into book obsession/bloggerdom. I know I recommend these […]

This is the perfect TTT for me – there are SO MANY series that I’ve been meaning to read, but haven’t been able to, either because I’ve been too busy, or there’s too much hype, or I’m just too behind. It’s no surprise that most of these are NOT contemps…I think that kind of says something about me as a reader. Anyway, in no particular order:  […]
