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, but I somehow missed what the storyline was. It sounds like an excellent mystery novel.

Rites of Passage by Joy N. Hensley: My lovely friend, Melissa, mentioned this to me as a book I needed to read, but I just haven't managed it quite yet. It sounds super intense.

A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall: I've been dying to read this since I read the synopsis ages ago, but I always managed to talk myself out of buying a copy. I'm going to read it soon though!

Anatomy of a Misfit by Andrea Portes: Another suggestion by Melissa, but I also thinks it looks super good. 

Snow Like Ashes by Sara Raasch: The buzz around this one has been insane. I can almost always use more epic fantasy novels in my life too. 

What about you lovelies? Any 2014 debuts you missed out that you need to go back and read? Let me know in the comments!

    Far From You was a book that I wasn't sure I'd like and then I really enjoyed it. What a great story. I also really liked Snow Like Ashes. =)

    My TTT is here.

More Diversity in Your Book Diet

Hello Lovelies! As usual Top Ten Tuesday is brought to you by the lovely people over at The Broke and the Bookish . Today's topic is Top Ten Books for People Who Like X, and I'm going to go with... Top Ten Books for People Who Like Diversity Thanks to the efforts of groups like We Need Diverse Books, diversity is having a resurgence in young adult and children's books. For the last couple years, I have been trying to read more books with diverse characters or by diverse authors. (Diverse in this respect includes race, sexuality, gender, and disability). I haven't endeavored to challenge myself to only read a certain type of book i.e. only those by women of color or anything that isn't by a white heterosexual male, but I try to be extra aware of the characters and ask myself if they actually are white (sometimes the text doesn't say it, sometimes people just assume it!) and if being white is necessary for the character or not.  But here are my top t...

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...

Happy New Year's Eve Lovelies!! I hope you are all out having a terrific night and that you won't see this until 2014 has officially rung in.  Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the wonderful people over at The Broke & the Bookish --check out their post or their list of other awesome blogs who have participated! 1. Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell: Once I put up my year in review survey, no one will be surprised by this, but this book is definitely my favorite of the year. It is the most amazing book I've read in a long while.  2. Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell: Oh Fangirl, I just barely squeezed you in to 2013, but I managed it. Mostly because once I picked it up I didn't put it back down. I couldn't. It was sort of like reading a pseudo-AU of my life. 3. American Born Chinese by Gene Luen Yang: This was a wonderful book that showed the commonalities and differences of people of all ages across cultures. I loved it.  4. Hyperbole an...
