Hello Lovelies!! It's a holiday themed Top Ten Tuesday today (brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish as always). 

I've been awfully good, so Santa should consider setting these books under my Christmas tree.


1. Death, Dickinson and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia by Jenny Torres Sanchez: This has been on my to-reads for a very long time, and I desperately want a copy!

2. Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz: I've wanted to read this one for so long, and now I know so many people who've read it and say it's amazing. I want a copy!!

3. Avalon by Mindee Arnett: This one got mixed reviews, but it still sounds like a super good read to me!

4. The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson: I could have gotten this book earlier this year, but I was moving and I had literally a ton of books (Which I still don't have at my new place, sigh), so I opted not to get it. But I do really want to read it.

5. Her Dark Curiosity by Megan Shephard: I have a copy of the first one (with all my books at my parent's house), so I'd really like to get the next in the series so when I finally get my books I can devour both of them. 


6. Watchmen by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons: This is a book I borrowed from someone else when I read it, and I've always wanted my own copy. But graphic novels are rather expensive, so I've never bought my own copy. 

7. I'll Give You the Sun by Jandy Nelson: I borrowed this book earlier this year from the library and it's my favorite read from this year. I need a copy!!

8. Hi, Koo by Jon J. Muth: I love Muth's works!! I've wanted this darling little picture book since it came out, and I still haven't gotten a copy.

9 . The Port Chicago 50 by Steve Sheinkin: I read this for one of my classes and it was so amazing. I need a copy for my own library.

10. The Winner's Curse by Marie Rutkoski: So good!! And I need a copy of the first one, so I can buy a copy of the second one when it comes out.

What's on your Christmas list, lovelies? Or other winter holidays? If you could be given a book from a mysterious bearded old man what would it be? Let me know in the comments!

    Great list. I love Laurie Halse Anderson as well. I hope you get your hand son all of these. I hope you get a ton of great books for Christmas. Here's my wishlist.

    I still have a $30 giveaway to Amazon going so maybe I can help you get some of these books.

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...
