"So she did what any rational person would do, having cut herself off from her loved ones, failed to find gainful employ after two straight weeks of searching, and then drunkenly ejected most of her personal wealth into a river in the wee hours of what could generously be called the butthole of the river.

She gave up." p 7

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. 

This week's topic is: Top Ten Books That Include Maps

*in no particular order

10. A PROMISE OF PERIDOT by Kate Golden--I pretty much went to my TBR shelf in my room and pulled up most of these!
9. KINGDOM OF THE WICKED by Kerri Maniscalco--I had actually just taken a picture of this one for my Instagram posts, so I was like oh yeah!
8. KISS OF THE SELKIE by Tessonja Odette--all of Tessonja's books have a cute little map in it! This was the last book of hers that I read, so I went with this one instead of a TBR one!

7. BENEATH THESE CURSED STARS by Lexi Ryan--Fairy Loot version...even though this is not the FL cover! GR didn't have that one up for some reason. I am not sure if the standard US has a map or not, hence the FL note.
6. THESE DEATHLESS SHORES by P.H. Low--who doesn't love a map of Neverland?!
5. MIDNIGHT STRIKES by Zeba Shahnaz--Owl Crate version...pretty sure that's this one! The one I have at least has a map in it!

4. THE TEMPTATION OF MAGIC by Megan Scott--Fairy Loot version! Now I know the US version didn't have a map! As I feel like I bought that one before I realized it was going to be in the FL box. So whoops!
3. THE UNDERMINING OF TWYLA AND FRANK by Megan Bannen--another fun little map!
2. SPECTACULAR by Stephanie Garber--so many maps to choose from with Stephanie! I think the Spectacular one might be a fave though as I LOVED all the Christmasy locations and names!

1. ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART by Stephanie Garber--threw you one there, didn't I? Lol. Since it's two different series, albeit in the same world, I am allowing myself to "cheat." But seriously, 7 books with 7 gorgeous maps you're lucky this wasn't 7 maps of Stephanie in my picks! Lol. Truly LOVED the one in OUABH though and might be my fave of the trilogy!
