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.

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...
