Hi everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, which is hosted over at  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is Top Ten New Autumn TV Shows I Want To Watch. 1.  The Night Of It has taken all of my restraint to not binge all of this already, as it's just come out on Sky Atlantic, because it just looks so good. 2.  Atlanta I love Donald Glover when he's acting, and I equally love him performing as Childish Gambino, so I'm very excited about this. 3.  Luke Cage I've just finished watching Jessica Jones in the last couple of days, and I can already feel myself needing that Marvel fix pretty soon. 4.  Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life At the moment I'm on season 6 of Gilmore Girls and I cannot get enough of it so obviously I can't wait for this. 5.  Pitch I love watching films and TV shows about sports, and this has intrigued me since I first heard about it. 6.  Westworld To be honest, I don't really know

South of Sunshine by Dana Elmendorf Publisher/Year: April 1st 2016 Albert Whitman Source/Format: e-arc | NetGalley (Thanks NetGalley/Albert Whitman!)

I think a lot of teenagers will be able to relate to this book and I am so happy it has been published.
