Happy Tuesday, readers! Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly blog challenge hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl. Every Tuesday, multiple bloggers share their favorite books from a selected topic. Today’s topic is “Books I Was Assigned to Read in School”.

I have been out of school so long I don’t remember most of what we read. I do remember Anne Frank and I enjoyed it as well.

Funny enough, I’ve read 8 of the books you enjoyed (and enjoyed most of them as well) and only one of the ones you didn’t. I remember liking THE FIRM when I read it, which was a looonnnggg time ago!
Happy TTT!
