Top Five Tuesday- Books I predict will be Five Star reads!

Hello! This is a meme I have seen a few bloggers do and it looks like so much fun! I will posting these when I find that the discussion fits something I can talk about. The meme is hosted by Shanah at Bionicbookworm. Covers come from Goodreads.

Today, we are on the topic of books we predict will be a  five star read.

1- To Kill A Kingdom  by Alexandra Christo

 34499221
You all know me and know how much I love a retelling. The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite movies and I love Ariel so much. I have heard about this book from others, and I really feel like  this book will be my jam. I  have a copy of this and will probably read it over the summer, as I feel this will be the perfect novel for summer!

2- Sea Witch by Sarah Henning

 36502054
A retelling from Ursula's point of view? Sign me up! I read the first five chapters of this book for the First Look hosted by Epic Reads a few months back. From the first chapter it swept me into the world and these characters. I have the Ebook of this, and I plan on reading both this and To Kill A Kingdom  at the same time this summer. Back when I read the first few chapters I loved Evie and her friends and I can't wait to read this.

3-  Romanov by Nadine Brandes
40590407

Can we take a moment to appreciate the cover of this book? I love it so much!!!! Anyway, you all know me and Anastasia so  this is not news to anyone who reads my blog. This is such a unique take on Anastasia and her story. I can't wait see where this story goes. I have seen little buzz from bloggers, but I think the buzz will come closer to when the book is released next month.
This book is on a pre order  so  my package will get here on May 7th.

4-  The Bear and the Nightingale (Winternight Trilogy # 1) by Katherine Arden

 25489134

I am not a reader of paranormal books but something about this novel says this could be a book I enjoy. The fact that this story is set in Russia and other bloggers have enjoyed this I feel it may take me into the world, and I am so ready to swept up into the book.  The book seems like a fantasy so that is why it is on my list as well.  Over the next few months, I will grab this book and I want to read it in December or Late November because of the Winter Vibes.

5- Lilac Girls (Lilac Girls #1) by Martha Hall Kelly

25893693

This is a historical fiction inspired by a real woman who lived during World War 2. I love the fact that the women in this book are in three different countries and have three different occupations. This book floating around the Book Blogging community and gaining high praise. I can't wait to get a copy of this and then read the second one about Caroline's mother!

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...
