Top Ten Books To Read While Waiting for the Gilmore Girls Revival

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday theme is “books to read if you’re in the mood for…” and I knew exactly what I wanted to talk about. GILMORE GIRLS IS COMING BACK. I realize it’s not YA, more book-adjacent, but guys, I’m SO EXCITED FOR THIS REVIVAL! And don’t lie to me and tell me you didn’t watch it, you booklover, you. I know you totally fist-punched every time Rory had her nose in a book, sniffed a book, or pretended to be organizing books but was secretly just reading them. See this quote from Rory’s high school valedictorian speech: “I […]

Waiting on Wednesday: A Tyranny of Petticoats edited by Jessica Spotswood

I am so late with the WoW, but I just heard about it, and I’m in love. YA stories that talk about bad-ass women on the fringes throughout history? Seriously, sign me up! I’ll be honest, I’ve only ever read Elizabeth Wein, Leslye Walton, and Marissa Meyer from this enormous list of authors, but I love them and I BELIEVE. Is A TYRANNY OF PETTICOATS on your TBR? What are you waiting for this week? Let me know and I’ll stop by! —– “Waiting On Wednesday” is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine that spotlights upcoming releases that book […]

These Books Slayed Me So Hard I Can’t Review Them | Top Ten Tuesday

Second Helpings by Megan McCafferty – this book is one of my all-time favourite […]

| Waiting on Wednesday | Leave Me by Gayle Forman

I don’t think there’s anything I really need to say about this other than GAYLE. EFFING. FORMAN. My favorite author writing adult books. …But if I did want to say something, I would say: 1) that cover is beautiful 2) it has travel in it, and I have seriously good feelings about Gayle and travel writing 3) what Gayle does better than any author is tap into my journey, my feelings, and I can tell you right now…as someone who often wishes she weren’t an adult with responsibilities, this book is gonna hurt so good. Is LEAVE ME by Gayle […]

5 Bookish Resolutions For 2016 | #TopTenTuesday

Guys, I’m not a resolution maker. I used to be, but I decided a few years ago that I was crap at New Year’s resolutions, so I stopped. But this year I really do have bookish resolutions for 2016. Ten is pushing it, so I’m sharing with you 5 bookish/blogging goals for the next year. Request Fewer ARCs – I’m not quite doing a Picky Pledge, but one of my goals this year is to scale back on review books and try to tackle my TBR. I’m still going to be doing a lot of early reviewing, but I’m tired […]

I’m so glad to be sharing my Best Books of 2015! I’ll be sharing a bit more about them in my 2015 End of Year Bookish Survey, but for now…here’s my list, along with a quote from my review! Best Books of 2015: Mosquitoland by David Arnold: “I read Mosquitoland in two days – I found Mim’s voice so distinct and compelling, and my connection with her was so strong that I was on the edge of tears for two-thirds of the book(and laughing in the other third).” The Royal We by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan: “It’s about the […]
