Welcome back for another week of Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Fair warning: I'm back at school and this semester is already kicking my butt, so I have no idea how frequent posts will be, especially in Top Ten Tuesday, or how long they'll be. I love my new major but it's definitely more front heavy than I'm used to. This week's prompt features books I enjoyed out that were out of my comfort zone. I typically stick to lighter reads, particularly contemparies and romances, though I enjoy faster paced science fiction and fantasy as well. I also am a complete wimp in my reading and the rest of my life as well. So let's get started! Two Can Keep A Secret by Karen McManus- This book was absolutely amazing and the ending sent shivers down my...

I took last week of Top Ten Tuesday off because I honestly didn't know what to write, but now I'm back for another week! Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. This week's prompt is Auto Buy Authors. At first, I thought I didn't have any but once I consider the spirit of what "auto buy" is, making a list ended up being a lot easier than I had initially expected. For me, this is a list of authors that I will read any book of theirs that I find, even if I just request it from the library, or only buy if I find it at a used bookstore. All of these authors I love and will read just about anything I put out there. So let's get started! Rick Riordan- The jokes about signing a blood contract for his books? This is me. Heck, I haven't read Magnus Chase yet and o...

It's time for another week of Top Ten Tuesday! This week's prompt was childhood favorites, and it was a really fun list to write as I walked back through memory lane. I was only able to narrow it down to eleven, but all of these are great books, especially for kids but also I know that I want to reread now. I read all of these in elementary school and would like to thank the public library that let me read so many of these great series. So let's get started! Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together. Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan- Honestly, I cannot count how many times I actually managed to read this, especially the first time. I remember the first time I read The Battle of the Labyrinth on the way back from a trip from my dad, and I just love all of this honest...

Welcome back to another week of Top Ten Tuesday! Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl with prompts every week! This one was surprisingly hard for me, maybe because I'm not really in the middle of any great series right now and all of the authors I read a lot aren't releasing this fall. I did include multiple books that I already got from Netgalley but they have not yet come out and I am behind but I still want to read them because I'm excited about their potential and hope that they are as amazing as I wish. So let's get started! Of Ice and Shadows by Audrey Coulthurst- Mare and Denna are an amazing sapp hic couple. I loved Of Ice and Shadows, and I absolutely cannot wait to read the sequel, but I have to. I am really excited for this book. Girls of Storm and Shadow by Natasha Ngan- I got my sister the first book for Christmas and still haven't read it, but this is another amazing sapphic series that I need to read. My sister loved...

It's time for another Top Ten Tuesday ! I had a lot of fun and an easy time writing this post, and I can't wait to see how everyone else ended up taking this prompt in their own direction. As soon as I saw this, I knew that I would be making a list of my top ten books in young adult romance. I did go a little back and forth between contemporary and romance, but narrowing it down to romance made it easier to come up with a list of only ten books. These books are in no particular order, because it would seriously be far too hard to try to sort through all of these books, all that I absolutely love. So let's get started! These are books that I would definitely recommend for anyone who read young adult romances. They are so cute and you will definitely end up shipping the couples in the end. Catching Jordan is the first young adult romance book I ever read and definitely the reason why I fell in love with the genre. Also, so many of the other Hundred Oaks books are amaz...

Welcome to this week's Top Ten Tuesday! This week, the topic is favorite books from the last ten years, including one from each year. This is a really cool idea, though it was interesting to see which years I struggled to come up with books for, since I did grow up significantly during this timeframe as I'm only nineteen now. So let's get started! Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl 2019: Just for Clicks This book really fits in a modern day and I loved reading it so much. You can check out my book review here, but there were twists that were just foreshadowed enough to be a shock and still make sense. 2018: The Astonishing Color of After There is so much going on inside this story and I loved every single bit of it, especially as realities twisted and bits of the past were discovered in this exploration of culture and family. It is a little bit of a longer book, but is definitely worth the time to read it. 2017: They Both ...

It's Top Ten Tuesday! I have never actually done a freebie prompt before, and for audio freebie, I wasn't quite sure how to go from there so I decided to go with audiobooks, both some of my favorites that I remember and what I currently have to listen to next on audible. Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly blog meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl . I love audiobooks. Most of the time now, I listen while cleaning/packing and during my over five hour drive to my parents. I have to admit, I'm looking forward to having a longer commute for an excuse to listen to them even more. So here are some of my audiobooks, both favorites and on my tbr. 1. The Dog Who Had Kittens This is a weird one to include but when I was little we would get the cassette tape and book from the library all the time and listen to it while following along. This is one of the picture books that makes up my childhood and the first one I can remember. (I feel like I should do a post on books of my childho...

In 2018, I managed to read a total of 67 books. When I told my sister this, she frowned and told me that that seemed awfully low. While I set my goal for one book higher than this for the new year (link to goals post here), I also read some incredible books in 2018. These are all found on my favorites books on goodreads, but I only included the ones that I read in the first time in 2018, which totaled to 9 books. While I would have preferred a top 10 list, a top 9 list will just have to do. These books are all books that made my feel. Most of them had tears and gasps, but I thoroughly enjoyed all of them and knew that they had to go onto my favorites shelf. I am likely to reread all of them (at least two this year because of series). Anyway, here goes top 9 books of 2018. 9. The Problem With Forever by Jennifer L. Armentrout This book features a girl going to public school for the first time since being adopted two years ago after living in an abusive foster home, where she ...
