    Top 10 Tuesday: Have a Laugh

    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!

    Treasure Tuesday

    1. I turned 21 this past Sunday! The best advice I can give is to just wait. It makes the birthday so much more special. 2. I am currently reading “Me Talk Pretty One Day” by David Sedaris. 3. 4. I finished “The Museum of Intangible Things” by Wendy Wunder and “Stranger in a Strange Land” Robert Heinlein over my Thanksgiving break. Keep your eyes peeled for a review soon! 5. Buzzfeed has compiled a list of the best fiction books of 2015. Unfortunately, I haven’t read ANY of them! But #2, #13, and #24 are definitely on my list now! 6. Look at this cutie! Happy reading, Kimberly
