Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
This is the second site this week that I've seen mention Wild. I really liked that book.
ReplyDeleteHere is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Sorry for the delay, I've been out of town. I'll check out your list as I catch up on blogging. Thanks for commenting.
DeleteThere's something about the notion of through-hiking that seems so liberating that I can't help but think that I'd want to do it. But, I'm realistic and know that a big journey of that magnitude is not my cup of tea. That's why books are so awesome - I get to live vicariously through them!
I live in Scotland part of the year whilst I'm at Uni and I still haven't been to the Highlands yet! Maybe when I have my driving licence, I will finally go!

DeleteI really liked Outlander, so much so that I read (well, listened to the audiobook twice). Interestingly, I've yet to read any of the other books in the series. They're just so big that they are somewhat daunting.
Outlander made quite a few lists this week - mine included. :)
