One Little Word for 2012

The one little word that I have chosen to live by is... Authenticity.

To live the year being authentic. Being me. Being the person that I know I should be each and everyday even when it is not easy (or popular).

"Promise me you'll always remember:
You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think."

Top Ten Tuesday (on Wednesday... oops)

This week's Top Ten Tuesday is about the 10 books I am excited to read in 2012. These books have all been on my www.goodreads.com to be read list for quite some time. So, I figured it is time to get them read this year.
The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
Divergent by: Veronica Roth
Crank by: Ellen Hopkins
Dracula by: Dram Stoker
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by: Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
The Future of Us by: Jay Asher
Hush Hush by: Becca Fitzpatrick
The Paris Wife by: Paula McLain
Millionaire Teacher by: Andrew Hallam
Carrier of the Mark by: Leigh Fallon

Quite an eclectic list, but still a good one. Happy reading.

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created here at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because we are particularly fond of lists here at The Broke and the Bookish. We'd love to share our lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

Hush Hush is an engrossing book! I read it within 24 hours because I just couldn't put it down.

I'm hoping to read The Paris Wife, The Future of Us, and Divergent this year too!

Happy reading!
