Hello Lovelies!!

This week's topic on TTT hosted by The Broke and the Bookish is Top Ten 2014 Debuts I'm Excited For! This was a tricky one for me because I don't typically know about debuts before they're released, but I managed to stumble across a few.

1. It's already come out, but I haven't picked it up yet. I'm so excited to read
Look at that cover! It's so fantastic. And the synopsis sounds amazing. Check out the Goodreads here.

2. Landry Park by Bethany Hagen
Seriously just the first line in the description drew me in to that one. Downton Abbey meets The Selection, whaaa????

3. The Strange and Beautiful Sorrows of Ava Lavender by Leslye Walton. 
 Look at that cover!!!!!!!! I don't judge books by their covers (not at alllllllllllllllll) or at least I try really hard not to, but when a book had an awesome cover, it just calls to me. But it also sounds really really beautiful and sad. 

4. A Mad, Wicked Folly by Sharon Biggs Waller

.  Suffragette movements. Debutante balls. Illicit art classes!! I MEAN COME ON. THIS SOUNDS FANTASTIC.

5. Hexed by Michelle Krys
I'm super picky about witch books. Like I either love them or despise them. This definitely looks like it'll be one I'll love.

6. Half Bad by Sally Green 
If Hexed looks like I'll love it, Half Bad looks like I'll adore it.

7. Side Effects May Vary by Julie Murphy

This sounds like exactly what I want out of a contemporary novel. It's a position that I think people always ask themselves about (what would I do if I were dying?) but then to flip that and say, if I did those things and didn't die what would happen? is so much more interesting. I'm really excited to read this.

8. Liv, Forever by Amy Talkington
It's been a while since I've read a really good ghost-based story, and this debut sounds like it'll be amazing.

9. Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs

 Honestly, this one could go one of two ways for me. Since it's about a "gifted and talented" student and camp, I'll either like it for accurately portraying that side of life, or I'll hate it for inaccurately presenting what I'll feel to be my life-story. I'm picky that way. But I'm trying to be optimistic and say this one will be awesome.

10. The Well's End by Seth Fishman 
A deadly virus? A boarding school? A search for a school?? THIS SOUNDS SO GOOD. And another amazing cover, to be honest.

So what do you think? Did I give you any good ideas? What debuts are you looking forward to?? Let me know in the comments!

    Great list! Side Effects May Vary looks so good, I can't wait for that one. There are so many great books coming out in 2014, I don't know how I'll find the time to read them all. I hope you manage to read all of these :) My TTT.

Blarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Hello lovelies. I'm feeling super overwhelmed by life since I'm doing Camp Nanowrimo and trying to move and find a place to live 2600 miles away. So that's my excuse for missing last week. But now you get two weeks in a row. So this week's theme (hosted as always by The Broke and the Bookish ) is... Top Ten Favorite Movies   (And I picked Scary Movies) I have a secret. Or I guess I had a secret. And that secret is that I love  scary movies. Like anything that plays on gross special effects or melting walls or sudden appearances--I'm totally down for it. (This has only back fired on me once--when I had a panic attack watching Saw 2--I don't wanna talk about it...) So in no particular order, movies that really impressed me with their scare factors: 1. Thir13een Ghosts -- there's this scene with a glass door that is ingrained in my brain.  2. Haunting in Conneticut -- aw man, this movie is sooo good. I actu...

Give Me a Little Love

Hello Lovelies!! Today we're going to talk about love and romance in books This is going to be kind of tricky for me because while I love book romances (see what I did there?), I have a hard time articulating things I like and don't like about them. So I think I'm going to split this into two categories: likes and dislikes.  1. Love: Slow-builds. Give me all the scenes where they gently flirt, and smile at each other, and watch each other out of the corner of their eyes.  2. Hate: Moving too quickly. I understand there are only so many pages, and a lot of other things need to happen, but if they met yesterday and they're getting married or exchanging I love yous, it's moving too fast for me. Build in some time!! 3. Love: Meet-cutes! I know lots of people will be like, but how can you love both slow-builds and meet-cutes, and to them, I say, BECAUSE I CAN. But really, if you bump into each other while holding hot coffee, or hold the subway door o...

Oops I Didn't Catch Them All

Hello Lovelies! Another Top Ten Tuesday? On Tuesday? It's almost like it's Winter Break still or something.  This week's theme is... Top Ten 2014 Debuts I Missed Breakfast Served Anytime by Sarah Combs:  This novel about a young girl attending a gifted and talented camp seemed to drift under the radar, but I still want to read it.  Avalon by Mindee Arnett : A sci-fi novel that got a lot of press pre-release, but didn't make a big splash afterwards. I want to know if it's as Firefly-esque as the comparisons that were made. Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot: Jamie  really liked this one, and it sounds like a good read! Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang: Multiple perspectives and a heart-wrenching storyline--seems right up my alley. Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid: Most people I know who read this loved it. I just didn't get around to it. Far From You by Tess Sharpe: I saw this on a lot of GLBTQ positive posts, ...
