Top Ten Tuesday – Unique Reads

Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Most Unique Books I’ve Read (maybe the MC was really different, maybe it was the way it was written, a very unique spin on a genre or topic, etc.) In no particular order: Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover – I LOVED the fact that there was a soundtrack that went along with this book.  Since much of the book revolved around the main characters writing songs together, this was just completely […]
