Top Ten Tuesday is all about book titles with a color in them.....can I come up with ten?
I'm again participating in Jana's Top Ten Tuesday book sharing blog roundup. The Artsy Reader Girl's theme this week is a "books with a color in the title". If you visit her site, you'll find lots of participants with a zillion books to fit the theme each week. Your TBR will never be the same!
