Top Ten Tuesday - Feb. 4, 2014


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme from The Broke and the Bookish in which they post a book-related top ten every - you guessed it! - Tuesday.

This week the theme is Top Ten Books That Make You Cry. This one was problematic for me.

Why I picked up this book:

First, the gorgeous cover. I love the title of the book and associated information in the crest. The barefoot woman running, I assume by the way she's holding her dress up, across a perfect lawn. The dress itself, and the tiara... perfection!

Plus small town girl finds out she's a princess, *and* the guy who informs her and needs to convince her to help out the country is the potential love interest? Excellent!

Sunday Update (1)

Every other Sunday I'll be posting a general news post. These might preview things I'm planning for the two weeks following (such as a new feature - On My Mind), they might reflect on books I'm looking forward to, or that I've recently heard of and want to discuss.  

I'm hooking into: 


This is a meme hosted by the Caffeinated Book Reviewer wherein everyone gets to share their news for the week. It's a great opportunity to see what's happening out there in the blogosphere, so go check out some other Sunday Posters!

Today's post is going to have a few sections:

1. Some news about the Morganville web series

2. Site stats from the month of January

3. A quick rundown of my current posting schedule, for the curious.

4. An update on my progress for the two year-long challenges that I've joined.
