Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Books on My Fall To-Be-Read List. It’s an ambitious list, especially since I have limited time to read these days. I’m curious to how many I actually wind up reading.
Memories of a Life: Colten & Josie: Part Two by Jewel E. Ann is now live!
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s topic is Books with Geographical Terms in the Title (mountain, island, border, city, coast, country, desert, sea, shore, tide, valley, etc.) (Submitted by Lisa of Hopewell). I had to dig deep into my Read shelf and TBR pile for this one, but it was fun.
This hurts. I don’t think I’ve ever rated a Jewel E. Ann book less than four stars. After all, she is probably my favorite author. I love how she mixes humor with gut-wrenching emotions. Pieces of a Life isn’t bad, but it is missing Jewel E. Ann’s signature sparkle.
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. Last week was a back-to-school freebie, but life got in the way so I didn’t get a chance to post. Better late than never. Right? The topic I chose for this week is Books With Main Characters Who Are Teachers.
As someone who listens to audiobooks regularly, I was in heaven listening to Thank You for Listening. I mean, does it get any better than an audiobook about an audio narrator who falls for her co-narrator sight unseen? The only thing that could top that was if the book was written and narrated by one of my favorite narrators, Julia Whelan. Mission accomplished!
Carrie freaking Soto. That’s it. That’s the review. I’ve long been drawn to Taylor Jenkins Reid’s strong female protagonists, but Carrie Soto is simply remarkable. Living inside her mind was an exhilarating experience.
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week‘s topic is Completed Series I Wish I Had More Books. I know that all good things must come to an end, but it’s especially hard to say goodbye to a wonderful series and the characters you’ve grown to love.
I rarely read Young Adult, but I Kissed Shara Wheeler has a premise I couldn’t pass up. Mystery, an elaborate scavenger hunt, and identity crises galore.
I’m going to cut to the chase; I was utterly bored by Red, White & Royal Blue. It received a ton of accolades, so I really think this is a case of it-must-just-be-me.
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly feature hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week‘s topic is Books I Love That Were Written Over Ten Years Ago. I had fun taking a walk down memory lane as I browsed by bookshelf. Several of these books are favorites that have stayed with me over the years.
It is hard to believe that Lessons in Chemistry is Bonnie Garmus’s debut novel. This thoughtful, emotional, and clever story is easily one of the best books I’ve read this year.
