: The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet by Kate Rorick and Rachel Kiley

The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet is a love letter to fans of the wildly popular webseries, The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. There’s no other way to put it. In the Acknowledgments, the authors say that the book would not have existed if people hadn’t voiced their love, affection, and concern for this version of Lydia Bennet. So it seems absolutely right that Lydia should finally get her own story via the voices of those who loved her…because this book, in, itself, is all about Lydia reclaiming her voice. But I’m getting ahead of myself. If you haven’t heard of The Lizzie Bennet […]

Top Ten Tuesday #14: Sequels I Can’t Wait To Get My Hands On

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish to highlight a top ten list related to book blogging, and to get to know fellow book bloggers. Anticipated Sequels is a hard category for me this fall, because so many of my favourite sequels/series enders came out in the last two months….But I’ll give it a go: The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater (The Raven Cycle #2) – yes, I know it’s out already, but I haven’t gotten to it yet…And you know that if I had, I would just be putting book #3 on […]

Top Ten Tuesday #12: Best Sequels

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at The Broke and the Bookish to highlight a top ten list related to book blogging, and to get to know fellow book bloggers. This week’s topic was suggested by me awhile back! To me, a really good sequel should take the themes and characters from the first book and advance them so much that you’re sort of knocked off your seats.  In no particular order: Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins – I can’t think of a better companion to Anna and the French Kiss – not only […]

Top Ten of 2012: Books I’m Looking Forward To in 2013

Before I get to my list, I just wanted to thank Two Chicks on Books, Fiktshun, Confessions of a Bookaholic, A Life Bound By Books, and Magical Urban Fantasy Reads for hosting the Top 10 of 2012 this year. This has been so much fun and it’s been great seeing what other people loved and are looking forward to in the new year.  For my final Top Ten list of the year, here are the books I’m most looking forward to next year! 2013 definitely seems to be the year of the sequel/long-time author. So many of my favourite authors […]
