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.

Book Review: The Lost Girls of Foxfield Hall by Jessica Thorne
Format: ebookPublished: March 26th, 2021Age: AdultGenre: Historical/ContemporaryGoodreads Rating: 3/5 Stars I find it fascinating sometimes which books get marketed as horror and which don’t.
