Top Ten Tuesday- Bookish Wish list- Releases that came out in the first half of 2021 I still want to read



Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @thatartsyreadergirl. This meme was born out of a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a prompt, and we book bloggers will take that topic and run with it, or do our own thing. In honor or Jana’s birthday today, this week we’re talking about bookish wish lists. I did a spin on this topic by going through my New Releases 2021 tag on Goodreads and picking out some books I wanted to read but don’t have copies of yet. 

1- When You Get the Chance by Tom Ryan & Robin Stevenson

This story caught my eye because it follows cousins on a road trip to pride. I believe this will be an emotional book. As you know, I love a hard-hitting contemporary.

2- My Contrary Mary (The Mary’s # 1) by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows

I read the first book in the lady Janie’s last year and finished it this year I loved it. I want to see what they do with the Mary’s in this series.

3- Love Is A Revolution by Renee Watson

This book seems like it is kind of in the vein of The Hate U Give which is why it’s on my list. I’ve never read this author, but I was drawn to this because it seems like an emotional contemporary.

4- We Can’t Keep Meeting Like This by Rachel Lynn Solomon

 

I’ve heard of this author but never read her yet. This book just seems so cute and has music as part of the plot.

5-Zoe Rosenthal Is Not Lawful Good by Nancy Werlin

I added this book because it involves fandom. I’m all in for any book that talks about fandom and a person’s relation to fandoms. 

6- The Other Side of Perfect by Mariko Turk

I added this book to my tbr because it is about a dancer who has a fall, and needs to rethink her career as a dancer. I added this because there was mention of her joining the musical and maybe falling in love with a castmate. If you know anything about me, you know that this book has me written all over it.

7- The Hatmakers by Tamzin Merchant

I believe this is a middle-grade or a young YA novel. I added it because I was interested in the world created, and I wanted to learn more about it.

8- Once Upon A Quinceañera by Monica Gomez-Hira

 

I almost brought this book earlier this year. I ended up getting busy not being able to go. I still want to read this book about a girl named Carmen who has to play a party princess for her cousin’s quinceañera.

9- All You Knead is Love by Tanya Guerrero

I added this Middle-Grade onto my TBR because I thought the the story sounded cute.

10- Take Me Home Tonight by Morgan Matson

Two theatre kids having a night in the town in New York City?! Sign me up!!!!

  5. I just read When You Get the Chance last week. I loved it, and managed to finish it in two days. It's a great read.

    May your wishes come true!

  7. I'm not a huge fan of YA contemporary but Once Upon A Quinceañera caught my eye from your list. My husband is half-Cuban, largely grew up in Miami, and worked for a party company as different characters in his teens. This sounds like a peek into his life! :-D

    I hope you get your hands on these soon!

The Sunday Post!

Welcome back! Today I am taking part in the weekly memes  The Sunday Post hosted by caffeinatedbookreviewer and Stacking The Shelves hosted by .tyngasreviews . I have had a great time coming up with the updates for these posts in the last few weeks and so I will keep doing them. Life This week was crazy for me because I had a a work blog due. While I enjoyed doing the post, it was more research than I had allotted for, so I just needed to spend more time on the blog than normal. Other than that it was an easy week. I got some read in and I got a new chapter up for my fanfic. Yesterday, we spent a lot of time in the backyard and shoveling stone for the yard. Read I just finished China Rich Girlfriend earlier today! All For One Alex &Eliza #3 is still so much fun and I think it is my favorite book of the trilogy still. Currently, I am on page 184/391 I read some The Princess and the Fangirl and I am 50% done. Rather than pushing it for the next few days, I deci...

Top Ten Tuesday- characters that remind me of myself

Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday! This is a weekly meme where readers discuss ten or whatever number you would like to have based on a prompt. Our host is Jana at  thatartsyreadergirl . Our topic this week is Characters Like Myself. I am going to take a two words that each character has in in my opinion,  and discuss how that relates to me  as well. 1- Cather Avery from Fangirl Writer- At her core, Cath is a writer, and she loves her stories. I am a writer of both Fan Fiction and original stories like Cath so this was an automatic in for this. Both of us love our work and we tend to through ourselves whole hardheartedly into our work. Sisters- I might have mentioned this on the blog before but I have a younger sister and we’re only roughly 18 months a part. Cath and her twin sister Wren are polar  opposites and this is me and my sister. My younger sister is an extrovert and into science. I on the other hand,  am an introverted creative bookworm.  ...

The Sunday Post!

Welcome back! Today I will link up to  The Sunday Post  hosted by  /caffeinatedbookreviewer  and Stacking the Shelves hosted by  tyngasreviews . Life This week was busier than usual because I ended up going to Peter Pan Jr rehearsals in the afternoon so I could  work with the music cues. The show opens this coming Friday, and this week is Tech Week, which is a four days where the cast will be able to work with lights, sound, mics, costumes, makeup, and basically run the show and get notes. The cast is 3rd-8th graders. I've been helping for years and I love it, although because I love Peter Pan, I have a soft spot for this show in particular. Other than that it was a relaxing week. Read I started Rich People Problems by  Kevin Kwan on Monday. I am 21% done, and I already love this book. I might not love it as much as I loved China Rich Girlfriend, but it's still early.  All For One was the plan to finish last week, but I still have ...
