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. Each Tuesday That Artsy Reader Girl assigns a topic and then post her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re more than welcome to join her and create your own top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.) list as well. Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.

    I loved I Feel Bad About My Neck.. Probably picked up three different copies at the thrift store and loaned all of them out! Takeaway line: “When your children are teenagers, it's important to have a dog so that someone in the house is happy to see you.”

    Those are new to me ones. This post took me longer than I thought it would to write! Mostly because I was trying to do it from memory instead of using goodreads! Lol!


    Here's my Tuesday post

    Have a GREAT day!

    Winesburg, Ohio sounds interesting. I wonder if it's a real place, too?

    "wizard. tourist. trunk." I'm cracking up!

    I need to start limiting myself to three-word reviews. I do like to blather on. Great job!

    I've read half of the books on your list and mostly agree with the ratings you gave. I like the concept of the three word review but suspect it is not that easy to come up with just three words.

    I want to read The Portable Veblen - have it on my list - and I'm happy to see that you liked it. That means I probably will, too.
