Lists are an awesome thing to make. Sometimes they're helpful in reminded you of your needed groceries. Other times they are wish lists of things you hope for in the future.
And then there's the Top 10 Tuesday list, created by The Broke and The Bookish. There are topics about a wide range of things from debut authors to author duos, etc. In searching for content for a Tuesday post, I came across this page and now I'm throwing my two cents into the ring.
Here is my first Top 10 Tuesday post: Top 10 Quotes from Book I've Read in the Past Year.

"Godfather?" sputtered Uncle Vernon. "You haven't got a godfather!"
"Yes, I have," said Harry brightly. "He was my mum and dad's best friend. He's a convicted murderer, but he's broken out of wizard prison and he's on the run. He likes to keep in touch with me, though...keep up with my news...check if I'm happy....”
