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.

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...

Give Me a Little Love

Hello Lovelies!! Today we're going to talk about love and romance in books This is going to be kind of tricky for me because while I love book romances (see what I did there?), I have a hard time articulating things I like and don't like about them. So I think I'm going to split this into two categories: likes and dislikes.  1. Love: Slow-builds. Give me all the scenes where they gently flirt, and smile at each other, and watch each other out of the corner of their eyes.  2. Hate: Moving too quickly. I understand there are only so many pages, and a lot of other things need to happen, but if they met yesterday and they're getting married or exchanging I love yous, it's moving too fast for me. Build in some time!! 3. Love: Meet-cutes! I know lots of people will be like, but how can you love both slow-builds and meet-cutes, and to them, I say, BECAUSE I CAN. But really, if you bump into each other while holding hot coffee, or hold the subway door o...
