Top Ten Tuesday-Most Recommended Books

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is books I recommend to others the most.

Ten (So many) Books/Series I Recommend the Most:

Suspense:

The Holly Series by C.C. Warrens. This is one of the best series I have ever read. I have read all of her books and they have all been five stars (I have not read her novella yet). As an added bonus C.C. is very creative and has a bookish shop, check out her T-shirts/swag, I want them all 😂

Top Ten Tuesday-Animals gone wild

Happy Tuesday, my bookish friends!! I hope you all are doing well. Today's Top Ten Tuesday topic is Titles with Animals In Them and/or Covers with Animals On Them (submitted by Rachel @ Sunny Side).

I am going with covers with animals on them because I can't think of a single title with an animal in it.
