2019 Book Resolutions Tag!

Hey everyone! So Thursdays on the blog I am going to post a new tag. I think tags are so much fun, and I enjoy the time to reflect on what I’ve read in the past, or what I want to read. Images come from Goodreads. I grabbed the questions from this blog

1. An author you’d like to read (that you’ve never read before).
Leigh Bardugo! I have heard such great things about the Grisha verse, so I want to see if it lives up to all the hype. I have a feeling it will, and I am intrigued by the world. I got the first three books in the series as one large Ebook, so I’m going to start that next month. I can’t wait to go on the journey and be immersed in a new series! 
2. A book you’d like to read.
Romanov by Nadine Brandes
40590407
I love Anastasia and the Romanov family. This looks like such a fantastic retelling. I am drawn in just reading the blurb on Goodreads. 
3. A classic you’d like to read.
A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett. I’ve had the Barnes and Nobel edition of this book sitting on my shelf for a while, and this is the year I would like to read it! I have heard a few songs from the musical if I remember correctly, and from what I remember I enjoyed them. I just looked up a summary of this book, and I can’t believe it took me thing long to read this book. Just from the description, this has the potential to be one of my favorite classics. 
4. A book you’d like to re-read.
29414576
Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee. This was my favorite book of 2017! It’s been a year since I’ve read it, and I have a feeling that it could be another fun summer read for me. I loved Tash, and  I need to revisit this story this year. 
5. A book you’ve had for ages and want to read.
Renegades by Marissa Meyer. I’ve had the book for over a year, and from the description, it seems like it’s right up my alley. Superheroes?! Yes, please! I would also like to read the sequel. This will be my first Marissa Meyer book. 

6. A big book you’d like to read.
So, once I finish War & Peace, I would like to read Anna Karenina. I enjoyed the movie a few years back, but I would love to read the book that started the story as well. 
15823480

7. An author you’ve previously read and want to read more of.
Ashley Poston! I have two of her books on pre-order, and I have Geekerella already! I loved Heart of Iron so much that I want to read everything by her. 

8. A book you got for Christmas and would like to read.
I love a retelling and I love The Nutcracker. This seems like such a magical book. 
42279745
9. A series you want to read from start to finish.
I am a one big series a year type of person so I would love to read the entirety of The Grisha Verse. This includes the book coming out in a few weeks. 

10. A series you want to finish that you’ve already started.
38880852
I don’t know? I’m not sure if Heart of Iron is only a Duology or not, but I am going to read the next installment this summer. 

11. Do you set reading goals? If so, how many books do you want to read in 2019?
I set a goal of 30 books this year. I am less busy than I used to be, post graduation so I don’t have school anymore. I do have freelancing that takes sometimes, and I also have other things that get in the way. I used to do 20 books, but when I read 27 books last year, I wanted to up it by 10 books this year. 
12. Any other reading goals?
Yes! As many people probably say, I would like to get my physical tbr down. Also, as I said in my 2019 goals post, I would like to review 15 of the 30 books that I read this year for my blog here.

Top Ten Tuesday- Holiday / Seasonal Freebie- Memorable characters of 2020

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana  @thatartsyreadergirl . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we book bloggers will post a reply to the topic. This week, it's a seasonal / winter freebie. I kind of went rogue in a way. In the winter you see the end of the year best-of lists, and that's exactly what I did with this post. You will find subsections to indicate the genre each book is in.  YA Contemporary 1- Pepper from Tweet Cute by Emma Lord Tweet Cute was a novel I read in September. I fell hard for the major character, Pepper. She was so sweet, and she wanted so much to lice her own life.  As a bonus, she baked, and I seem to really love characters who bake. Pepper made this list because she wanted to live her own life for her, and I really admire that quality in a person. 2- Sophie from 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston I’m in the middle of this book right now, but I ...

Top Ten Tuesday –Favorite Couples (Valentine’s Day /Love Freebie)

  Hi! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by Jana @ thatartsyreadergirl. . This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. I love doing this meme because it gives me a chance to bond with other bloggers. Every week, Jana will post a topic, and we bloggers will make a post with our list on the topic, or a different one. This week it was Valentines / Love, so I wanted to do a post on favorite couples. I may have done a similar post last year, but I know that there are some new couples on this list.  1- Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy- Pride & Prejudice   This is the only classic couple on this list. I enjoy their relationship because the two characters have little in common, and yet by the end of the novel, they make it work. As you read Pride & Prejudice, you get to see these two find the love each of them was missing. 2- Cath and Levi–Fangirl One of my favorite YA novels needed to appear on this list. I love Cath and Levi becau...

Top Ten Tuesday - Top Ten Historical

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! Our Host is Jana @thatartsyreadergirl . Every week, readers gather and respond to the topic of  the week. This week, we are talking about Top Ten Books in our favorite genre. I love The Classics, YA of all kinds minus Horror and Mystery, and Historical. I choose Historical as I talk about Classics and YA a lot on this blog. These are in no order, just as they came to me. 1- Romanov  by Nadine Brandes I read this Anastasia retelling in nineteen days when it came out. I loved this book so much! About half the novel was the Romanov’s in exile, and their life in a house where they couldn’t do that much. As the story progresses, we see that Nastya is a spell master, so this is how Fantasy is sprinkled in with the Historical Fiction to tell a new story. I loved all aspects of this novel, even the ones that were sad, and almost caused me to throw this book across the room. I will review this book later on this month. I recommend this for any...
