Top Ten Tuesday: Unlikable Characters I Love

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Unlikable Characters You Can’t Help but Love. I love villain characters or the characters you aren't supposed to love. If an author can get me on the fangirl train for an unlikable character then I think they did their job well. For some of these, I'm not sure …

NetGalley Rejections 21-30

My NetGalley rejections seem to be growing every time I get on. I'm not really mad or anything, it actually makes me laugh more than anything. It's fun to go back and share my thoughts on titles that I was rejected from reading. Where Dreams Descend by Janella Angeles: I got a copy of this …

Top Ten Tuesday: Books That Deserve More Love

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Online Resources for Book Lovers, but I don't use anything more than Goodreads and my own spreadsheet lists.

Here are ten book settings I've recently discovered. City of Weep …

My Book Club: Year Two

Last year around this time, I shared about the fun my book club did during our first year of meetings. I thought I'd do the same, highlighting what we read this past year and the fun activities and food we had as well. In July of last year, we read The Names They Gave Us …

Top Ten Tuesday: Books Set on Islands

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Books I’d Want With Me While Stranded On a Deserted Island. I'm not exactly sure what books to put on this list. I thought about being clever and including books like Treasure Island or Lord of the Flies or other deserted island/sea adventure books, but I didn't really …

Top Ten Tuesday: Crayon Color Book Titles

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is a freebie. Since I didn't post in April, I missed out on sharing my list for Book Titles That Sound Like They Could Be Crayola Crayon Colors. This was the only prompt I thought was interesting for that month, so I still wanted to share what I came …

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite Books of 2020

This week's Top Ten Tuesday prompt is Favorite Books of 2020. Usually, I only list my favorite books that were published during the year, but since I made an effort to read a lot of older, backlist books, I want to give some of them recogniation as well. So here are five of my favorite …
