Top Ten Tuesday (30)

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created and hosted by the lovely ladies from the book blog, The Broke and the Bookish. They created this particular feature because they love making and sharing bookish lists with their readers.

Every week, there is a new topic, and bloggers are encouraged to share their own lists with everyone in the book community. All bloggers are encouraged to create a list based on the week's theme, share it with their followers, and then link up on The Broke and Bookish.

It's really easy to join:

• Go to The Broke and the Bookish to check this week's topic
• Come up with a top ten list of your own and post it
• Share your link on The Broke and Bookish

Bookish Bingo: Spring 2015

Bookish Bingo is a reading challenge/game hosted by the lovely bloggers at Great Imaginations. It's a bookish reading challenge that resembles a Bingo board but the only person you're challenging is yourself! As you read books, you get to mark off that square on your Bingo Board, but you only get to use one square per book. This means that a book can't be used for multiple squares.

This is my first time participating in the Bookish Bingo challenge, so I'm definitely not planning to finish the entire board, but it would definitely be fun if I did. Realistically, I think I will try for one or two Bingos or maybe even a four corners, diamond, or postage stamp game. (I play Bingo a lot at camp...)

I have a few ideas for some of these squares, but if you have any recommendations or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment. I'm always open for book recommendations, especially if it will help me complete a challenge. I know I'll definitely need some suggestions for an Aussie author as I'm not entirely familiar with many of them. I'll probably also need some help with choosing a high fantasy book.

I'll update everyone at the end of every month (probably with my monthly wrap-up posts), to see just how I'm doing with the Bookish Bingo game. (I even have a cute plan for marking off the squares I complete!)

Books I'm Planning on Reading for Bookish Bingo

Top Ten Tuesday (18)

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created and hosted by the bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish. They created the meme because they love making and sharing lists. Well that's just one thing that I have in common with them because list making is essential to my life.

Every week, there is a new topic for Top Ten Tuesday, and all you have to do is create your top ten list (or somewhere around ten if you can't think of ten) based on it. Oh, and be sure to link back to The Broke and the Bookish! Then you can add your name to the link up tool that they include in their post!

Please don't hate me... this is my first TTT since January! I've really been meaning to participate more often. I just had so many ARCs to read, and since I post ARC reviews a week before the book is released, I felt like I'd be overloading you with posts.

Now... it's time to list those books!

Top Ten Books On My Spring TBR List:

I used this list to compile my choices for this week's TTT. These are the books that I really want to read this spring, but realistically, I know I will probably only get to half of them. I still have winter releases to get to!
I do have ARCs for a few of these titles (and other June titles), so look out for reviews.
