Spring Cleaning Book Tag

1. Getting started: A book series you’ve been wanting to read

The Grisha trilogy and every book after by Leigh Bardugo, I know I'm aware how behind I am on this series. The first three books are sitting on my Kindle and I will get to them soon. I have heard the hype time and time again and seen the mixed reviews for this series. I want to read them all in 2019. 

2. Cleaning/organizing the closet: The best way to organize books

What is organizing your books? I'm kidding but I really don't organize my  books. I have kept my series and books that are related to authors together. If I had more book organization and maybe this summer, I will I would keep this system but have like colors together for stand alones. 

3. Getting rid of unnecessary things: Book/series you no longer need

Oh god. I will say Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte. This is a classic novel that I stopped like 40 pages from the end, but oy I could not take this book anymore. I've called it DNFed  and I just need to get rid of the book and move on. 

4. Get some air: Your favorite light-hearted read

A favorite light hearted read is Fangirl. I know what you're all thinking she will never not put this book on a list ever right?! Anyway, this book is a delight and I love it so much.  

5. Clean out the kitchen cupboards: Favorite food-themed read

I have not read any food related reads. One on my TBR is All That She Can See by Carrie Hope Fletcher. I have read the synopsis, and this seems like a delightfully fun read about food. I guess Geekerella might count because of the Food Truck? 

6. Dust the shelves: What’s the fifth book on your bookshelf?

I have two big shelves I use so I used the main one. The fifth was Heart of Iron  by Ashley Poston. This is a Sci Fi Anastasia retelling and was one of my favorite books of 2018.  

7. Wishing for the end: A 2019 release you’re really excited about

There are so many books coming out this year that could fit on this list! Romanov by Nadine Brandes is one of my tops and it comes out next month! I can't wait to read this Anastasia retelling!  

8. Long but satisfying: The longest book series you’ve read

Les Miserables by Victor Hugo. I believe War and Peace is longer, but I have not  finished that book yet. Les Miserables took me over two years to read, but it was so satisfying when I finished.

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...
