Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by the Broke and the Bookish. I don’t talk about politics on this blog for the most part. Mostly because I think it can be very divisive and because there are very few people whose minds are going to change because of it–no matter how…

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature from The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is all about villains. I thought I would share 5 of my favorite villains from the movies with you.
