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:

Top Ten Tuesday: Waiting and Winning!

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

Waiting and Winning!

Here I am, going off topic again, but I just wasn't feeling this week's topic. Instead, I decided to take a look back at some of my Can't Wait Wednesday (Waiting on Wednesday) picks. This is a meme I adore. It's me making predictions about which books I believe will be winners for me. I also like to think of it as my wish to the universe, that I get my hands on this book, read it, and love it. As I was going back through my CWW picks, I realized I have read most of them, and you know what? Many have rated between 4.5 and 5 stars. It's a testament to how good I am at picking out books for myself.

Without further ado, here are ten of my past CWW picks, which have all been stupendous reads for me. I have read all these in the past year, and provided links to my reviews (if you're interested).

Top Ten Tuesday: Plus Sized

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

Plus Sized!


This week's topic is Books I Wish I Read as a Child. I have struggled with my weight my entire life, and was only thin and acceptable, when I adopted disordered eating strategies, which resulted in in-patient treatment. I know there were books, which featured plus sized characters, when I was younger, but they were are prevalent as they are these days. Not only is there more fat in YA, but I love that the focus of the stories isn't solely about their size. The books I list below were are all fantastic, and feature some amazing young women, who I would have loved to have "met" when I was younger. *Each are linked to review

Excuse Me, I'm Hungover!


Today we are talking about hangovers. Not *those* type of hangovers, but rather, book hangovers.

Five Star Friday: December 2019



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.

December was a great month! I was able to get ahead on my ARC reading (miracles do happen!), and finish my reading challenges (In your FACE, 50 States. I did it!). I read 37 books, and added another 5 books to my 5-star shelf.

Top 10 of 2019: Best of the Best


It's the end of the year, and that means BEST OF lists! I find this task difficult, but I enjoy it so much.

Top 10 of 2019 is a hosted by Kimberly Faye Reads and Ginger. Today's  topic is...

Best of the Best!

This is such a hard category! I feel like I have had an incredible reading year. So far, I have read 430 books, and 32 earned 5-star ratings from me. Therefore, I have elected to focus on my favorite YA reads from this year.

Five Star Friday: October 2019



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.

The month of October was very good for me. I read 33 books, and had FOUR earn the full 5-stars, but I had quite a few that were *this* close.
