Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. I haven’t been participating in any memes, and I don’t want to commit (well, that’s probably the wrong word. It isn’t as if you HAVE to do these every week… no one’s making you… anyway..) to many of them, so this […]

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created over at The Broke and the Bookish.

If you’re curious about this week’s topic… head on in!
