Spring Means Reading These Outside


Hello Lovelies!! In preparation for the Spring that will hopefully be here soon, this week's Top Ten Tuesday (as always by the Broke and the Bookish) features the top ten books I'm trying to read this Spring. So without further ado, I hope to get these read over the next few months. Hopefully while I'm outside enjoying the sunshine.


Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo: This is the only MG of DiCamillo's which I haven't read yet. I'm actually going to use it for a school paper, so I'll definitely be reading this one within a few weeks.

Graceling by Kristin Cashore: This might be cheating a smidge because I'm technically already reading this one, but I need to finish it! I've been letting it languish for a week or so.

The Distance Between Lost and Found by Kathryn Holmes: I snagged a copy of this for free, and I was wanting to read it, so I'm going to make sure I finally get to it!

Death, Dickinson, and the Demented Life of Frenchie Garcia by Jenny Torres Sanchez: This has been on my TBR for forever, and my wonderful friend Melissa brought me a copy when she moved into my house!!

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz: I started this a little bit ago, but I put it on hold because my book club is reading it in a few months. I'm excited to finally read it. 


How Zoe Made Her Dreams (Mostly) Come True by Sarah Strohmeyer: This has been on my TBR for awhile, and I'm determined to finally read it.

Dreams of Gods & Monsters by Laini Taylor: I just read the first two in this series, and I can't wait to see how it ends! Also I have a library copy, so this is definitely at the top of my pile.

Playlist for the Dead by Michelle Falkoff: I just snagged a free copy of this which was one of my top 2015 debuts to read, so I'm psyched to rea it.

Guy in Real Life by Steve Brezenoff: This is my book club's next book, and while I'm not like jumping out of my seat to read it, I think it looks pretty good. 

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline: This has been on my TBR for a while, and I'm sick of other people telling me how good it is!! I need to read it for myself!!

Are any of these in your Spring TBR pile? What do you have that you think I should read too? Let me know in the comments!

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...

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, ...
