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!!!!

    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!

    I've seen several good reviews for Once Upon A Quinceañera. I hope you're able to read these soon. :)

    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!

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 - 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...

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...
