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- 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.  ...

Top Ten Tuesday - Unpopular Bookish opinions

Welcome Back! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  thatartsyreadergirl . This week the top is unpopular bookish opinions, was submitted by Kaitlin Galvan at  somehowimanageablog . I don't think I have that many unpopular opinions, but We'll see if I can get to ten. I do not mean this to be a personal attack. I know some of these will get into beloved areas of book community, so take these as just my opinions. 1- I have only read one Harry Potter book, and will probably never read the rest. Yes, I know how odd this makes me sound. I was a Twilight kid, and I preferred those over Harry Potter. I have see all the movies, and I want to read Fantastic Beast, as I believe I will love that world and those characters more. 2- I hate mystery and horror novels. I know how odd this might sound to some people. I'm just not a fan because they creep me out and I am more skittish than most people. This is a beloved genre, so I think this is an Unpopular opinion? The exception to thi...
