Top Ten Tuesday is a book meme hosted by The Broke and Bookish. This week’s topic is a dangerous one: books I want to read but don’t yet own. Because something happens to me when I start thinking about books I want to read but don’t yet own. That something is that I end up click clicking and next thing you know, I do own those books! They are wending their way to South Dakota and I am wondering why I can’t pay off my credit card this month. Books. Books would be the answer.
