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.
Happy Tuesday before Thanksgiving! The Lil' Princess arrived home last night. We are so thrilled to have her home for a bit. Travis was impatiently awaiting her arrival.
This week's Top Ten Tuesday is a Thanksgiving/Thankful freebie. Feeling a bit creative, here you will find my...
Top Ten Literary Thank Yous
- Thank you to Lucy Maud Montgomery for beautiful settings, unhindered imaginations, and a red-headed orphan who taught me that being impulsive has its advantages.
- Thank you to Charlotte Hubbard, whose characters remind me of the importance of community.
- Thank you to the artists for sharing artwork that conveys just as much emotion as the written word.
- Thank you to Laura Ingalls Wilder, who proved that you are never too old to share your stories with the world.
- Thank you to Marilyn Meredith/F. M. Meredith, not only for sharing her favourite characters with me since 2007, but also for her treasured friendship.
- Thank you to Kathi Macias for life-changing, thought-provoking books that touched my heart and inspired my soul. Your friendship is a true blessing.
- Thank you to the writers of devotionals, whose words continually remind me to take a step back so I can focus on the Lord and His Word.
- Thank you to Louisa May Alcott for a character as authentic, ambitious, and independent as Jo March.

There is a simple answer to this week's Tell Me Something Tuesday: my own books! Oh, I love reviewing books. I wouldn't do it if I didn't love reading new books from writers I know or books from authors that are new to me. But goodness gracious, I have over 300 unread books in my spreadsheet, over 700 free e-books I haven't read, and numerous books in my Audible library. At the rate I am reading these days, it will be more than 17 years before I finish them all.
If I had to choose which ones to read first, I would start with these three:
A Prairie Devotional by Wendi Lou Lee, because I bought her new devotional
and want to read this one first.
Bright Lights, Prairie Dust by Karen Grassle, because I pre-ordered this one,
have heard amazing things about it, and still haven't read it yet.
Old Flames, New Beginnings by Lea Schizas, because Lea has been a mentor and a good friend since the early days of my writing career, and for crying out loud,
I have had this since last year and still haven't read it.
