Top Ten Tuesday: Books Too Good to Review Properly

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Books Too Good to Review Properly. These are the types of books that you enjoyed so much that you just don't have the words to explain them. This happens to me a lot more than it should, especially if it's a series or author I adore. But here …

Book Rambling: Between Burning Worlds by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell

Lately, I've been a bit disappointed in YA retellings, but I loved Sky Without Stars by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell, a retelling of Les Mis, last year. So I'm so glad that the sequel, Between Burning Worlds, was even better. **Between Burning Worlds is book two in the Systems Divine series so spoilers for …

Books and Waffles Alphabetical: M

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Favorite Bookmarks. I don't really have ten bookmarks that are my favorite to use. I usually just like to match my bookmarks to my book if I can or pick something that looks fun. So instead, I'm going to do another alphabetical post. Rules: Credit Alex for the idea, and link …

Books and Waffles Alphabetical: J

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Cover Redesigns I Loved/Hated. I'm not that familiar with cover redesigns to make an entire list, so instead, I'm doing another Alphabetical post.

Books and Waffles Alphabeticals: G

Book Review: Sky Without Stars by Jessica Brody and Joanne Rendell

I'm one of those crazy "book" people who has actually read Les Misérables in its entirety. All 1,200 pages of that bad boy. It took me six months of reading slowly, chapter by chapter so I wouldn't get frustrated, but I did it. And it was (mostly) worth it. Victor Hugo's novel is a masterpiece …

Top Ten Tuesday: Long Books I’ve (Sorta) Read

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Longest Books I’ve Ever Read. It was actually kind of difficult to make this list because while I know of some long books I've read, I had a hard time judging how long a book actually was. For instance, The Silmarillion is only like 300 pages long, and …

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I Probably, Maybe Won’t (AKA Might) Reread

I'm baaaack. Also, this week's prompt kind of pinches my bookish heart. Mainly because as it is I don't reread books that often. Oh, I want to. I want to read all the books and also reread all the books, but somehow the new/newish books always win over rereading and here I am. BUT! I'm …

Top Ten Tuesday: Books that Surprised Me

It's not often that books surprise me. Usually I can tell based on the cover and synopsis if it's a book I will like or not. But every once in a while, I pick up a book that does surprise me. When that happens, the book usually becomes one of my absolute favorites. Here are …

Top Ten Tuesday: Classics I Can’t Believe I Read (and Actually Enjoyed)

In college, I spent three and half years taking English and writing classes, which meant I've read a lot of classic books. Some classics deserve high praise and others... not so much. So of course, there were always books assigned that I didn't think I would enjoy, but it was a pleasant surprise when I …
