    Top 5 characters I would trade places with

    Happy Tuesday bookworms!! This week’s Top 5 Tuesday is characters I would trade places with!! I have to be real for a moment.

    Top 5… cute romances

    Good morning bookworms! Today’s Top 5 Tuesday is cute romances! Honestly, this topic warms my cold, little soul.

    Top 5 Tuesday 2019 wrap-up

    Good morning bookworms! I know, I know… this isn’t actually a Tuesday. But it’s also not really a Top 5 Tuesday topic, so WE ARE FINE. So… what are we doing, you ask?
