My Fall Bucket List!

A lot of people have a favorite season. Some like the crisp, cold air of winter. Others like the warm, sunny days of summer. I honestly like all of the seasons!

Theme Thursday: My favorite Arabian/Middle Eastern themed books

This year I have been reading a lot of books with Arabian and Middle Eastern themes, and I think this is now one of my favorite themes ever.
