Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

    I think I need to add Storybound and No Cheating, No Dying to my reading list! I'm making my spring reading list today to post tomorrow. I have no idea what's going to be on it yet. I hope you're able to get to add the books on your list.

    You have a Paris theme going on :D I need to check these books out. I love the city and if a book can transport me back there even if it´s just for a short time, it´s totally worth it!

    Great list! I should have added Insurgent, as I'm sure that I'll love Divergent so much! I read an ARC of Paris, My Sweet last month, and I have to admit that I didn't love it. It was cute, but not really my cup of tea. I think you'll enjoy it, though. :) Thanks for stopping by my TTT!

    Two thumbs up! You have mixed fiction and non fiction in the list. I should put more non fiction to my reading schedule too, I think..

    It looks like you have a few Paris books for the Spring. That will be a theme for me as well since I'm going in May.

    WOW, these all have such pretty covers!! Also, I saw No Cheating, No Dying at the bookstore and was wondering if it's any good -- hopefully you'll review it after reading. :)
