Each week we will post a new Top Ten list that one of our bloggers here at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All we ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don't have a blog, just post your answers as a comment. Have fun with it! It's a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.
In 2011, Top Ten Tuesday was honored around the book blogosphere by winning Best Book Blog Meme as part of Book Blogging Appreciation Week. A huge thanks to all who voted and especially to those who participate and tweet about it every week!

As a blog run by twenty-somethings, the thing most on our minds, aside from books, is what the heck we are going to do with our lives. We all joke and dream about having a job where we could read or blog all day and feel pangs of jealousy when we encounter someone who does just that. In my (Jamie's) job search, I've realized that there are so many different types of bookish jobs out there that I had never even thought about. In college I never thought I could be in the book industry because I never wanted to be an author or an editor or a publisher. I didn't think there was anything else out there. I've come to realize that there so many types of bookish jobs out there for people of varying strengths and abilities and I want to spotlight these jobs... and thus began our monthly feature--Bookish Jobs For Bookish People.
November-- Erica from Harper Perennial: Marketing Manager
February -- Jen: Children’s Programmer, SR. Library Assistant
March -- Tom from Harper Teen, Book Designer
October- Steph Su
