[quote]Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish where we list our top tens![/quote]
This week’s topic is “top ten most anticipated releases for the second half of 2016!” How can I only pick ten??? This is like picking my favorite child (if I had any). It cannot be done very easily.
