Paiges of Books

    Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . The purpose of this meme was to bring the book blogging community together and foster our love of lists. Each week, Jana posts a topic, and we readers respond based on that prompt. This week our topic is a freebie, so I decided to make my list of my top ten reads part one.   Middle Grade 12- Never After by Melissa de la Cruz I'm almost done with this book. It's a duology, and I loved the new twist on fairy tales.    YA 13- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this early in the year and it stuck with me. This YA Contemporary about gaming and the culture of the gaming industry was fantastic.  14- The Book Thief by Markus Zusak It took me years to read this book but I really enjoyed it. I love the unique narrator, the characters, and the story.  15- The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas This is another backlist release. I loved this book, and I knew when I read it that it had the potential to be...

  Hi! I have a lot of books on my TBR for next year so I thought I would feature them by coming back to CWW. This weekly meme is hosted by Tressa  @wishfulendings . This is a rebrand of a meme that was called Waiting on Wednesday which was hosted by  Jill@breakingthespine . The purpose of this meme is to highlight a book, usually unpublished, that we can't wait to read. This week I'm highlighting- Ophelia After All by Racquel Marie.  Title: Oph elia After All Author: Racquel Marie Genre: YA Contemporary Expected Publication: February 8 th, 2022 Add to Goodreads:  Here Goodreads Summary   A teen girl navigates friendship drama, the end of high school, and discovering her queerness in Ophelia After All, a hilarious and heartfelt contemporary YA debut by author Racquel Marie.   Ophelia Rojas knows what she likes: her best friends, Cuban food, rose-gardening, and boys - way too many boys.

  Hi! Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . This weekly meme was brought on by a love of lists, and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a prompt, and we readers will write our response to the prompt in question. We also have the option to do our own thing that week. This week, our topic is Characters I’d Love An Update On. This is fun, and I can’t wait to see what others say as well. The titles are separated by Genre for easy access. I put a few couples together because I would like an update on both of them. This is from last week, but I never got around to posting it. I thought I would share it this week because it was finished.    Adult 1- Alex and Henry from Red, White and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston I would mainly want to know if they’re still together. 2- August and Jane from One Last Stop by Casey McQuiston Same as above, I would love an update on their romantic status. 3- Addie from The Invisible Life of Addie La...

Hello! Welcome back to Top Ten Tuesday. Jana hosts Top Ten Tuesday @ thatartsyreadergirl . This weekly meme was brought on by a love of lists and bringing the book blogging community together. Each week, Jana will post a prompt, and we readers will write a response to the prompt. We also have the option of doing our own thing if we’re not feeling inspired by the prompt that week. This week, our prompt is Books to Read If You Love/Loved X (X can be a genre, specific book, author, movie/TV show, etc.) I wanted to use Historical Fiction, because like YA Contemporary, it’s a go-to genre for me. I separated the books by sub-genre for easy access.    Adult 1- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid 2- Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid 3-Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton 4- When We Left Cuba by Chanel Cleeton 5- Romanov by Nadine Brandes 6- After Anatevka by Alexandra Silber   YA 7- The Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetys 8- The...

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 readers will write out our list as a response. This week the prompt was Books I would give to non-readers. I want to do a YA-themed post for this week. Contemporary 1- Foolish Hearts by Emma Mills I’ve read this book twice now. This is an easy read for me and I believe others would find it easy as well. I think the gaming aspect and the fact that it covers actual situations will appeal to other readers. As a theater kid, I loved the addition of A Mid-Summer Night’s Dream, and I believe others who enjoy theater will love it as well. 2- Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith I read this earlier this year and I just loved it. This is another novel about gaming and the harsh reality of the gaming industry. I loved the characters and the story and think others would as well. 3- Creekwood Uni...

This week, our topic is Favor online bookish resources, which is bad for me, because I will add so many new accounts for sites that look interesting.   1- Goodreads I feel like every reader uses Goodreads. I love it for the reading challenges and finding reviews, but I should use the community aspect more.    2- Barnes and Noble I love using B&N for books because I love supporting bookstores. I use Amazon sometimes, but that's mostly for Ebooks I want or daily deals.    3- Likewise   This is an app that I enjoy using. You rate books and other media and it gives you recommendations. I love it beca...

I put the books by genre.  Non-Fiction  1- Hamilton: The Revolution by Lin Manuel Miranda and others  2- The Great Comet of 1812: The Journey of a New Musical to Broadway These are two coffee table books I loved.  Middle Grade 3- Fearless (Fearless Series Book 1) by Mandy Gonzalez 4- The Chance to Fly by Ali Stroker and Stacy Davidowitz I read these both this year and I loved them so much.

Reading in bed is less distracting for me, but it still can make me tired. 3- In the car Some weeks I spend a lot of time in the car.
