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.

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll  is a very entertaining classic. I think everyone knows the story of young Alice who follows a White Rabbit into the world of Wonderland where everything is just slightly (or significantly) strange. For some reason, every time I've picked up Alice's Adventures before, I've put it down without making it more than 10 pages or so. But this time, I managed to finish it. It's a quirky sort of book, but I enjoyed it. It did make me think of The Phantom Tollbooth (here's my review of that classic), but I preferred Carroll's novel to Juster's. There's some great play on words and delightful misunderstandings because of homophones and characters not paying attention to each other. I think this is a worthwhile classic, but I don't actually have that much to say about it. Middle Grade March Count: 5

TBT: The Witch of Blackbird Pond

In middle school, I was a member of this reading club where we had a set of books to read as a team, and then we did like little quizzes on them against other teams. (SUPER NERD!). And now, I'm not entirely certain, but I feel pretty sure that club was where I read this book for the first time. The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare is a Newbery award winning historical fiction novel. Orphan Kit Tyler has been moved from her home in the Caribbean to her puritan relative's home in Connecticut.  She feels like she has nothing in common with these relatives, but she does form an attachment with an old Quaker woman and a young sailor, Nat. Of course breaking out of the mold is not without its price, and Kit learns this for herself when she is accused of witchcraft. This is one of those books that I think about constantly. I haven't reread it in several years, but I always want to. I recommend it frequently to other. This is a book for readers...
