Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s Top Ten Tuesday topic is Books I Was Assigned to Read in School. I’m way too old to remember that, although I do recall working my way slowly through John Milton’s Paradise Lost for my MA. Instead, I’ve picked some schools that appear in books or plays. I hasten to add most of them are not from my era! Links from each title will take you to the book description of Goodreads.
