Top Ten Tuesday #4: They're the tops

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created at The Broke and the Bookish.

Updates are now at That Artsy Reader Girl.

This Tuesday's topic is:
March 8: Books With Your Favorite Trope/Theme


You don't have to come up with 10. It can be however many you want to list.
