Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List
Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. This week we're discussing our top ten book-related bucket list items. I'm not sure these really are at the top of my bookish bucket list, but they all are things I'd ideally love to accomplish in my reading life one day.

On Being a Long-Term Reader
After nearly two years of book blogging and a lifetime of reading, I’ve learned a few things about my preferred reading style:
1. Reading is my preferred form of relaxation
2. I prefer to be thoroughly engrossed in stories as I read
3. I like to take my time reading stories
There are other conclusions I can make based on my reading style, but for now I want to focus on the fact that, while I do consider myself to be a faster than average reader, I rarely ever spend fewer than a few days with...

Ready to Become a Fan of...Jennifer Donnelly
Ready to Become a Fan of... focuses on those authors new and old whose works I have every intention of eventually reading, but haven't been able to devote the time to just yet.
