  Top Ten Tuesday: 10 2016 Releases I’m Really Excited About

  Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature from The Broke and the Bookish. This week’s topic is all about what 2016 releases we really meant to get to, but weren’t able to read for whatever reason. My reading is almost always at least a year (if not a century) behind, so I actually like waiting […]
