Top Ten Tuesday ~ Autumn 2013 TBR List

"Top Ten Tuesday" is an original feature/weekly meme created on the blog "The Broke and the Bookish". This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists at The Broke and the Bookish. Since I am just as fond of them as they are, I jump at the chance to share my lists with them! Have a look at their page, there are lots of other bloggers who share their lists here.

  1. I really enjoyed Lost in a Good Book - there were so many cool characters in Bookworld. Here's my TTT

  2. Thank you, Vilia. I have read the first one "The Eyre Affair". Usually, science fiction is not my thing but I quite enjoyed the time travel back to Jane Eyre. So, this is on my list now.

    Is there a way I can comment on your blog without signing up through facebook, e-mail etc.?

    I checked your list. As I love classics, I'd definitely recommend #1 on your "silly" list: "Pride & Prejudice", one of my favourites.
