Can't Wait Wednesday!
Can’t-Wait Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
I am combining CWW with Books From the Backlog hosted by Carole at Carole's Random Life in Books. This will allow me to feature some newly "rediscovered" books, which I plan on reading, alongside a new release.

Five Star Friday: April 2020
On the first Friday of each month, I will share my five-star reads from the previous month. Fingers crossed, I have lots of books to tell you about.
April has been very, very, VERY good to me! I think this is the most 5-star books I have had yet in a single month. Maybe it's the universe trying to atone a bit for our situation. Whatever it is, I am happy to have found all these wonderful books. I read a total of 35 books and had 8 that earned a 5-star rating.

Top Ten Tuesday: Riot Grrrls!
Riot Grrrls!
This week we are supposed to feature book titles that would make great band names. Maybe it's because so many of my favorite bands are emo or indie, but when I was looking through my read shelf, almost every name seemed like a great band name. In fact, some of the book titles were actual band names. Then, I was thinking some reminded me of bands, Three Dark Crowns made me think Three Dog Night. Eventually I decided many of the titles would be great names for Riot Grrrl bands. Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney, L7, Hole, Le Tigre, 7 Year Bitch, Bratmobile, Care Bears on Fire - loved them all. As always, I have read and enjoyed the books I am featuring, and provide a link to my reviews.

Top Ten Tuesday: Spring TBR
Spring TBR!
I am a HUGE fan of spring. It's a season of renewal and more moderate temperatures. It's also a season of a BILLION book releases. Seriously, look at the number of books coming out between March and June. I could never read them all, but I still want to. I have a pretty packed list of review books for those months, and I am very excited about many of them.

In this charming debut about first love and second chances, a young girl gets caught between the boy next door and a playboy. Perfect for fans of To All The Boys I've Loved Before.
Mansfield, Massachusetts is the last place seventeen-year-old Edie Price wants to spend her final summer before college. It’s the home of wealthy suburbanites and prima donnas like Edie’s cousins, who are determined to distract her from her mother’s death with cute boys and Cinderella-style makeovers. Edie has her own plans, and they don’t include a prince charming.
But as Edie dives into schoolwork and applying for college scholarships, she finds herself drawn to two Mansfield boys who start vying for her attention. First there's Sebastian, Edie’s childhood friend and first love. He’s sweet and smart and . . . already has a girlfriend. Then there's Henry, the local bad boy and all-around player. He’s totally off limits, even if his kisses are chemically addictive.
Both boys are trouble. Edie can’t help but get caught between them. Someone's heart is going to break. Now she just has to make sure it isn't hers.

Top Ten Tuesday: Recent Retellings
Recent Retellings!
Hey, guess what? This is not the actual topic, but I have been reading a bunch of retellings lately, and many have been really, really good. I am going to tell you a little secret. I had not read the original version of many of these retellings, but I love being able to figure out which elements the author kept and which elements they added. So, I sort of cheat. As if I was in high school, I read the Cliff's Notes, and from there, I evaluate. The following is a list of some retellings I have recently read and enjoyed. Do you see any favorites on my list?
