It's Top "Twelve" Tuesday again, my take on Top Ten Tuesday, and I have something I think is super interesting...reading wisdoms that any reader will enjoy! My favorite is #9...Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by Broke and the Bookish and while the idea for my post is from there, I always change the topic question to something I read or discover...
