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.

This week I can't wait for:

Five Star Friday: August 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. I know 2020 has taken a lot from us, but I am still reading so many good books. I finished 41 books last month, and a whopping 8 earned all the stars. It's also interesting that 5 of these are new-to-me-authors, and I am positive that I will be reading more of their work. August was a good reading month. I found so many books that made me smile and left me warm and fuzzy, and for that, I am grateful.

Top Ten Tuesday: I Would Follow You

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is...

I Would Follow You!


Today's topic was actually pretty interesting. What characters would I follow on social media? That's a tough question. I would want to see posts from someone with a great sense of humor, because let's face, real life can be tough, and laughter really is the best medicine for that. I also like to see posts about things such as books, science, cute animals, and food.

Here are ten characters, who I think would create posts, which would entertain and interest me. As always, I tried to cull these characters from recent favorites.

Top Ten Tuesday: I'm Seeing Stars

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is...

I'm Seeing Stars!

This week, I was challenged to take a look at my TBR, and predict which books would earn 5-stars from me. My goal, when picking books, is for each to potentially be a 5-star read, but I took a critical look, and went for sure things, when I assembled this list.

Blog Tour: The Hand on the Wall - Maureen Johnson


The Hand on the Wall
Maureen Johnson
Series: Truly Devious, #3
Genre: Young Adult, Mystery
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars
Goodreads
New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson delivers the witty and pulse-pounding conclusion to the Truly Devious series as Stevie Bell solves the mystery that has haunted Ellingham Academy for over 75 years.

Ellingham Academy must be cursed. Three people are now dead. One, a victim of either a prank gone wrong or a murder. Another, dead by misadventure. And now, an accident in Burlington has claimed another life. All three in the wrong place at the wrong time. All at the exact moment of Stevie’s greatest triumph . . .

She knows who Truly Devious is. She’s solved it. The greatest case of the century.

At least, she thinks she has. With this latest tragedy, it’s hard to concentrate on the past. Not only has someone died in town, but David disappeared of his own free will and is up to something. Stevie is sure that somehow—somehow—all these things connect. The three deaths in the present. The deaths in the past. The missing Alice Ellingham and the missing David Eastman. Somewhere in this place of riddles and puzzles there must be answers.

Then another accident occurs as a massive storm heads toward Vermont. This is too much for the parents and administrators. Ellingham Academy is evacuated. Obviously, it’s time for Stevie to do something stupid. It’s time to stay on the mountain and face the storm—and a murderer.

In the tantalizing finale to the Truly Devious trilogy, New York Times bestselling author Maureen Johnson expertly tangles her dual narrative threads and ignites an explosive end for all who’ve walked through Ellingham Academy.

Best Debuts of 2019!

Every year, I make an effort to read debuts. I have talked about how I like to say I knew them first, but I also like to expand my list of must-read authors. 2019 was a bonanza for me! I found so many new author to shower with my book-love, and I am eager to read more from each and everyone of these authors. I read about 50 debuts in 2019, and her are 10 of my favorite from YA authors.

Winter TBR!

I have a lot of theme reading plans for this winter, but since those details are not totally hammered out, I will be sharing some of the review books I have that are being published in February and March, because I know I will definitely be reading them, AND I am also very excited about them all.

Top Ten Tuesday: Falling for Fall!

Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl. This week's topic is...

Falling for Fall!
I am always declaring my unending love for fall. The crisp, cool days, the beautiful shade of nature, the sweater weather, and the availability of all things pumpkin spice are just some of the things that endear this season to my heart. For this TTT, I scanned my read-shelf for those books that "felt" fall-ish to me, mostly due to the cover art and colors, but some had strong fall elements in the story, as well.  I have read and enjoyed each book featured on this list.
