Top 10 Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in 2010. It combines what I love most in this world into one—lists, books, and blogging. It couldn’t be any better suited for me! This week I’m going to let you guys know about the books I love, that I haven’t really talked about a lot on here. I feel like you all know how much I love Harry Potter and Divergent, but here’s my lesser well known favorites. Let’s get started! 1.

Rowling My brother actually ruined this one for me WHILE I was reading it. Here’s how it went down:…

There and Back Again
Title: The Hobbit Author: J.R.R. Tolkien Genre: Fantasy Quotation: “It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him.” Would recommend to: any one who wants to take another adventure. For shame on me for not reading this amazing tale until the end of my sophomore year in college. I know this was meant to be a children’s bedtime story, but I can’t help that I love this book. I finished it in a matter of days when I read it and have actually dreamed about reading it again. The tale surrounds a homely hobbit named Bilbo who embarks on an adventure with 12 dwarves to reclaim…

Top 5 Wednesday: Maps
This weeks Top 5 Wednesday is all about maps! Personally, I don’t own a lot of books with maps in them because I don’t read that much fantasy, but I will include some of my favorite maps, as well as maps I wish existed. 1. Hogwarts – Harry Potter How is it that after years of books and movies, the only “map” we’ve ever seen is glimpses of the Marauder’s Map? I want a real, full-blown map of Hogwarts and Hogsmeade so I can finally figure out what this place would really look like. 2. MIddle-Earth – The Hobbit This is real, and I loved it. It helped me follow along…
