Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! Today I’m talking to you guys about the books you want to read when you’re in the mood to cry. Let’s get started… 1.

Top 10 Tuesday: Book Quotes
Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It’s a fun way for bloggers all over the Internet to connect and post the things they love about books.

Although Roth may have written about genetic damage, anyone that looks deeper at the theme understands she’s really making social commentary on racism and human nature. I can’t say Tris was my favorite female character (I probably liked Christina a…

Just as promised earlier, here is my first ever Top Ten Tuesday! TTT was created by “The Broke and the Bookish back in 2010. This is its post about the last ten books they acquired. And here’s mine in order of acquisition…. 1. Anna Karenina I found an old copy of it in a used bookstore in New York (which I will post about later this week). I’ve been wanting to read this ever since my drama days but refused to buy a huge copy from the bookstore. This one is just the right size. 2. Murder on the Orient Express My boyfriend found me this one in the same old bookstore. I knew I…
