Hey, guys!
It’s Tuesday, which means it’s time for a bookish favorites post. Top 5 Tuesday is hosted by Meeghan over on Meeghan Reads and is quite simple: check out the topic and write a post with your picks.
Today’s post is about books that have been living on my tbr pile for the longest time. I literally went to Goodreads and sorted the pile and picked out things from page #1, aka novels I added in 2013. Since I *still* haven’t read any of them, I’ll leave you with the blurb, so we both can get an idea of what’s going on!
#1 Bonjour Tristesse
The French Riviera: home to the Beautiful People. And none are more beautiful than Cécile, a precocious seventeen-year-old, and her father Raymond, a vivacious libertine.

Bonjour Tristesse scandalized 1950s France with its portrayal of teenager terrible Cécile, a heroine who rejects conventional notions of love, marriage and responsibility to choose her own sexual freedom.
