10 Upcoming Debuts I’m Excited About

Posted January 26, 2016 in Top Ten Tuesday / 9 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a different prompt and book bloggers, like me, share top ten lists. This week is a freebie. In other words a chance for me to share a list I intended to put together weeks ago. I’ve had a lot of luck reading debuts the past couple of years. There haven’t been many duds. I’ve even discovered new favorite authors. So here is my list of 10 upcoming debuts I’m excited about. Ordered by expected publication date. 1. The Two-Family House by Lynda Cohen Loigman What is […]

  Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a different prompt and book bloggers, like me, share top ten lists. This week is a chance for us to share 10 books recently added to our to-be-read piles. I only consider a book “added” when I actually have it in-hand. I keep a separate list for wishlist books. Some of the books recently added are available to buy now, and I have included buy links. Others I have received for review consideration. 1. The Bazaar of Bad Dreams by Stephen King What is it about: “A […]

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a different prompt and book bloggers, like me, share top ten lists. This week is a chance for us to share 10 books released in 2015 that we didn’t get chance to read. There are many! But I chose 10 that I already have copies of to share today.   1. Under a Dark Summer Sky by Vanessa Lafaye What is it about: “Huron Key is already weighed down with secrets when a random act of violence and a rush to judgment viscerally tear the […]

Ten of the Best Books I Read in 2015

Posted December 29, 2015 in Book Talk, Top Ten Tuesday / 5 Comments

I usually share my top ten favorite reads of the year as part of Top Ten Tuesday, but they ran it early this year (when I thought I would still be reading), and so I was going to share mine in early January. But, and I’ll spare you the excuses, I haven’t finished a book in a few weeks so here it is now. In no other order than that in which I read them, here are my 10 favorite books of 2015 that you should all run and read immediately: Before I Go by Colleen Oakley: The very first […]

Top Ten Tuesday: I’m Looking Forward to These Sophomore Novels

Posted November 3, 2015 in Top Ten Tuesday / 9 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a different prompt and book bloggers, like me, share top ten lists. This week is a chance for us to share 10 debut authors whose sophomore novel we are eagerly anticipating. My list includes only authors who I have read since 2014, some have a book publishing in the next couple of months, some have a title announced but no date, and others may just be wishful thinking. So, in no particular order, who do we have: 1. Karma Brown Debut: Come Away With Me absolutely blew […]

  Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a different prompt and book bloggers, like me, share top ten lists. This week is a chance for us to share 10 books on our Fall reading list. I seem to be completely lacking in review books for November and December, so I’m going to take the opportunity to play catch-up and read some of the books that have been sat collecting dust!   1. Under a Dark Summer Sky by Vanessa Lafaye What is it about: “Huron Key is already weighed down […]

Top Ten Tuesday: My Most Read Authors

Posted August 11, 2015 in Top Ten Tuesday / 7 Comments

  Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a different prompt and book bloggers, like me, share top ten lists. This week is a chance for us to share our 10 most read authors. With the exception of a few, I don’t tend to read a ton of books by the same authors. At least not anymore. I went through a chick-lit phase in my late teens, so a few of those authors appear on my list. And I’m sure with the number of Goosebumps and Point Horror books that I […]

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a different prompt and book bloggers, like me, share top ten lists. This week is a chance for us to highlight ten of our favorite reads from 2015 so far. I already know that some of these will make it to my end of year list too. I’ve listed the books in the order I read them, and when trying to figure out favorites, I realized that I haven’t read that many books so far this year. Only 34. And 9 of those […]

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a different prompt and book bloggers, like me, share top ten lists. This week’s topic is Books that should be in your beach bag or books that will be in my beach bag this summer. As I did last year, I decided to split my list in half and share five books that YOU should be reading this summer, and five books that I will be reading.

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week they provide a different prompt and book bloggers, like me, share top ten lists. This week is a pick-your-own topic week and since I’ve been making list up on list of books I hope to find at Book Expo America (BEA) next week, I thought I would share ten of them with you. Side note: I have heard that some of these books will more than likely be available via galley-drops at BEA, others are just wishful thinking! It’ll be my first time attending […]
