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! We all have those books that we pick up because they have been on our lists for years, but this week’s Top 10 is all about the books I’ve picked up just because they looked appealing at the time. Let’s get started! 1. The Secret History by Donna Tartt I picked this book up when I was buying Christmas presents for my family. I’m not sure why it spoke to me, but when I read the…

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! This week is dedicated to the best books I’ve read recently that were completely out of my comfort zone.

Friday Night Lights : A Review
Title: Friday Night Lights Author: H. G. Bissinger Genre: Non-Fiction Quotation: “Odessa is the setting for this book, but it could be anyplace in this vast land where, on a Friday night, a set of spindly stadium lights rises to the heavens to so powerfully, and so briefly, ignite the darkness.” Would recommend to: football fans who don’t normally like to read. I finished “Friday Night Lights” last evening — it was phenomenal. Since I just finished it, I’m also going to include three initial thoughts. 1. Texas is football crazy! You don’t believe it until you see it, or at least read 300 pages about it. I had watched “Friday Night Lights” on…
