Top Ten Tuesday: Top Ten Book Titles with Ordinal Numbers and Tell Me Something Tuesday: If you could have any celebrity be your best friend, who would you pick?



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! In honor of our springlike temperatures, I gave the blog an update. I'm done with winter, even though snow is likely in the forecast for next week. 

This week's Top Ten Tuesday is about titles with ordinal numbers. Ashamed to admit I had to look up what that meant, but math has never been my strength. Here is my list of...

Tell Me Something Tuesday asks an intriguing question today: "If you could have any celebrity be your best friend, who would you pick?" 

There are so many who would make wonderful choices: 
  • Sandra Bullock for her honesty, 
  • Kelly Clarkson because she is so sweet and kind, 
  • Dolly Parton because she offers sage advice, 
  • Donnie Wahlberg because he acts all tough but has a soft side. 
If I chose a celebrity I've met, I would go with Alison Arngrim. Yes, it's nasty Nellie Oleson from Little House on the Prairie. She is amazing in person; so sweet and funny and unbelievably smart. I try to connect with her at any reunion I attend, but sometimes I run out of time. Dean Butler's line is always incredibly long, and he is first on my list. She is coming to Massachusetts this year, and I won't be here. I'm so bummed. But I will keep my eye out for more appearances in my area. 

Who is a celebrity you would like as a best friend or one you have met in person?
