Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is an audiobook freebie, but I chose to keep it simple: The First Ten Books I Reviewed I thought it might be fun to do a little reminiscing with this post! I started blogging in February of 2013. As a baby blogger I was pretty much just groping around in the dark with no concept of how to run a blog (or how to write a review, really). If you’re adventurous, you can click on the links and see how bad those original reviews really were (including their ugly formatting). Hmmm… Lots of big faces on these covers. Was that a trend back then or did I just happen to review a bunch of books with that type of cover? Anyway, on to the list: So, my very first review posted here was Shadow Kiss by… Read more »

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is an audiobook freebie, but I chose to keep it simple: Top Ten Audiobooks I’ve Listened To This was actually a pretty tough topic since I’ve been listening to A LOT of audiobooks lately. But I came up with a list I’m happy with. Here are ten of my favorite audiobooks:  For this list, I’m focusing specifically on books where the narration added to the overall reading experience, not just books that I really loved. (Links go to my reviews. These aren’t listed in any particular order.) 1.The Raven Cycle Series by Maggie Stiefvater, Narrated by Will Patton Yeah, so I’m cheating a lot in this post by listing series as a single book, but it would be impossible to come up with an interesting top ten list otherwise. First up is The Raven Cycle Series. Stiefvater’s… Read more »

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten 2018 Books I Totally Meant to Read I know you guys are astonished that I’m posting a TTT two weeks in a row. I’m sort of flabbergasted myself. But I always like these end/beginning of the year posts, so I thought I’d join in again. Here are ten (of the bajillion) books that released in 2018 that I really, really meant to read but then … didn’t.  What books did you miss out on in 2018? Are there any of these that I absolutely MUST read? I want to know!   Book vector designed by Freepik

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s (actually, last week’s) Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Eighteen Books on My 2019 TBR (First Half of the Year) I know everyone else already did this topic last week, but I… didn’t. And I felt like doing it now. I’m also not featuring ten, but instead I’m featuring three from each month. Because I want to. And there are no rules to blogging. So, yeah. January 1. Slayer by Kiersten White I’m such a HUGE Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan that I’m both excited and terrified to read this book. This is the only January pick I don’t already own, even though it’s already out. But I did request the graphic novels from my library so I can catch up on Season 8 and then read this. 2. Firestarter by Tara Sim I can’t begin to explain the love I have for… Read more »

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Backlist Books I Want to Read I really will only post ten, even though I could easily choose about a million (as the title to this post implies). For this list, I’m only using books that are over two years old. Just because. And only books I own. The list could still be MUCH longer. 1.Truthwitch by Susan Dennard Susan Dennard’s writing resources are amazing, and I own her books. Why haven’t I read her yet? There is no logic that can explain it. 2. Girl Against the Universe by Paula Stokes Another author I’ve inexplicably never read even though I’m pretty sure I’d love her books. 3. The Serpent King by Jeff Zentner I might lose blogger friends if I don’t read this soon—specifically, Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight. I mean, she’s been patient with me,… Read more »

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. I loved doing TTT last week, and this week’s topic was just as fun so I thought I’d jump in again! Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Books By My Favorite Authors That I Still Haven’t Read Honestly, there are TONS of books by Shusterman, that I haven’t read because he is such a prolific author (He has 35 books listed on his website!!). But these are just the books, I haven’t read yet that I actually own and I should have read by now. (Actually, now that I think about it, I should have added The Schwa Was Here to these as well.) Books I have read by Shusterman: The Unwind Series – 4 books and a novella (My all-time favorite series!!) except UnBound, for some reason—it’s a collection of short stories in the Unwind world. Scythe Challenger Deep The Skinjacker Trilogy Even though… Read more »

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. It’s been a while since I’ve participated in TTT, so I thought I’d jump in this week. Today’s Top Ten Tuesday is: Top Ten Books on My Fall TBR For this, I’m using books that are releasing this fall, even though I’ll probably be reading some backlist books as well. (I’m listing this in order of release date.) 1. Storm Runner by J.C. Cervantes This one releases today! I loved the first book from this imprint, so I’m ready to jump into this one!!! 2. Wildcard by Marie Lu I finally read (technically, listened to) a Marie Lu book!! And I really liked it! So, since I recently read Warcross, it makes sense that I should jump into Wildcard very soon. (This one came out today, too.) 3. Dry by Neal Shusterman Do you see Neal Shusterman’s name on the book? That is all the explanation you… Read more »
