I’m linking up with Top Ten Tuesday. I had this in my drafts as a spin-off of an earlier TTT childhood favorites, I think I went more middle-grade/preteen on that first one. In no particular order. A lot of these were from the Five and a Row Series based on the Charlotte Mason method of… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday Freebie: Some Favorite Childhood Illustrated Books

Top Ten Tuesday: Extraordinary Book Titles
I’m linking up for Top Ten Tuesday (well, a day late) here. I’d fallen out of interest with TTT for a bit. I also feel that when I post I just find some other posts to read, but I don’t always see common interests and/or feel like going through 100+ posts. So I think I’ll… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Extraordinary Book Titles

Top Ten Tuesday: Unpopular Bookish Opinions
I don’t know if all of these are unpopular, they are just opinions/arguments (not the same thing) I rarely see expressed or are expressed and then scorned. But I have a limited exposure. A lot of these are my ideals. I’m SUCH a mood reader. I feel like I need some escapist reading. I don’t… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Unpopular Bookish Opinions
Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books of the Last 10 Years

I exported my Goodreads library and cutting down out extra columns, I managed to look at the years 2018-2009 on publication dates for… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books of the Last 10 Years
Top Ten Tuesday February 26: Places Mentioned In Books That I’d Like to Visit

Many books are set in places I want to visit, but the books themselves don’t inspire me with their descriptions or lack thereof. And then there are places for which I… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday February 26: Places Mentioned In Books That I’d Like to Visit
Top Ten Tuesday: Winter TBR (December 18)

I have a few other books currently borrowed or requested again that I want to get through, but I don’t have… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Winter TBR (December 18)
Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Gratitude
I’m rather negative (cue laughter of my siblings at this gross understatement), and I tend to focus on negative (my reading breakdown of oh, half a decade; seeming dearth of good fiction I can love, etc.), so I’m going to try to point of 10 things I for which I ought to be grateful (and… Continue reading Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Gratitude
