Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by That Artsy Reader Girl. It has been a long time since I’ve written. Since that time I’ve spent 3 weeks in Taiwan and 10 days in Paris. I’ve got travel posts coming, but I thought today I’d start with a book post. This week’s…

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature brought to you by the Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is about the books you want to read this fall. I’ve read a lot of books this year, but I haven’t done a very good job of keeping up with my challenges, so this fall will…
