Hello Lovelies!

Another TTT coming at you from the lovely ladies at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's topic is Popular Authors I Haven't (Yet!) Read!! Please try not to shame me too much.

Alyson Noel : She's written several series including The Immortals ( which has Blue Moon in it). I see people grab her books all the time, but I've never even picked one up.

Melissa de la Cruz : She's written the Blue Bloods series and has a new book Frozen which started a new series and came out a few months ago. To my complete shame I've had Blue Bloods since high school and haven't read it yet.

Kristin Cashore: I've heard so much about her, and I recently bought Graceling, but I haven't managed to read it yet.

Marissa Meyer: I've been told repeatedly to read this series, and I've owned Cinder since last summer, but I haven't read it yet.

Ally Carter: I've heard her books are pretty good, fun reads, but I've never managed to pick one up yet.


Deb Caletti: I've heard Honey Baby Sweetheart is the best, but I picked up The Nature of Jade. They all sound really good, I've just never read one before.

Melina Marchetta: I have Jellicoe Road, and my friend raves about all of her books, but I haven't read it yet.

P.C. Cast/Kristin Cast: People tell me how good these are all the time, but I'm not that interested.

Simone Elkeles: I've heard these are really good, but I've never picked one up. I'm pretty intrigued though, so I'll get my hands on one of them sooner or later.

Neal Schusterman: This series looks amazing, and I hear more and more about it constantly.

So which one do I need to get on right away?? What's your biggest shame for author missing??

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...

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...
