As always, TTT is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish: This week we're looking at Top Ten Bookish Bucket List.

So here we go:

1. Get a book published.


I believe in myself!!

2. Have a library.
Like an actual room to house my books. Cause like I physically have enough books for a library but I don't have the space for them :(

3. Read all the books I own!!

Don't I own like 300 books I've never read and don't I work at a bookstore where I buy like a handful of books a week?? YEP. BUT I WILL PREVAIL. (Or I'll get rid of them eventually, but like I hope to read them first.)

4. Read 100 books in a year.
Yes this is a goal for this year. But I'm never sure if I'm actually going to reach it or not, so it's a lifetime goal as well.

5. Visit the Moors in England.
Because Wuthering Heights.

6. Meet JK Rowling??
I'm not actually sure if this is a goal or not because while I would love to meet her and talk to her--I'm actually terrible at talking to people I admire. When I went to Vidcon, I couldn't even ask the youtuber I was most excited about seeing for a picture because I was just too nervous and in awe of her.

7. Go to BEA!
I love Conventions and this sounds amazing. I'm hoping I'll be able to do it next year if I end up in Boston (since it's much closer to BEA than MT).

8. Read Les Miserables.
I want to read a lot of classics, but this seems like the most dense in my head, but I'm sure it's going to be fantastic.

9. Share my love of reading with future generations.
I'm hoping to do this as a children's librarian, but if not that, then at least with my own kids or my friends.

10. Get a collectible book of something. 
Like I want a super neat first edition of something cool. It'd probably be a young adult or kids book. But there are some really cool one's out there and I'll know it when I see it.

So that's what I've got. What about you Lovelies? Do you have any of these on your bucket list?

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll  is a very entertaining classic. I think everyone knows the story of young Alice who follows a White Rabbit into the world of Wonderland where everything is just slightly (or significantly) strange. For some reason, every time I've picked up Alice's Adventures before, I've put it down without making it more than 10 pages or so. But this time, I managed to finish it. It's a quirky sort of book, but I enjoyed it. It did make me think of The Phantom Tollbooth (here's my review of that classic), but I preferred Carroll's novel to Juster's. There's some great play on words and delightful misunderstandings because of homophones and characters not paying attention to each other. I think this is a worthwhile classic, but I don't actually have that much to say about it. Middle Grade March Count: 5

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
