    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. The topic today is “Authors I’d Love to Meet”. I’ve been very lucky in the past to have met some of my favourite authors already at World Fantasy Convention in 2013 and World Science-Fiction Convention in 2014. So I thought I’d split this up between the ones I’ve already met and the ones I’d love to meet in the future! Warning: there are…

It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. The topic today is Books to Pull You Out of a Reading Slump. We’ve all been there, the dreaded reading slump! I hate it, not being motivated to start any new books, not finding anything that piques your interest. Some of the tactics I’ve tried is returning to a beloved book until I find my drive again or reading some non-fiction. Listed below…

    Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Books I Picked Up On A Whim

    op Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and The Bookish. Every Tuesday bloggers list 10 bookish things according to a certain theme.

They’re mostly older ones that I bought before I got into the book-blogging community. I was pleasantly surprised…
