#TopTenTuesday: Ten Recently Acquired Books

By -

Thanks to the Broke and the Bookish for hosting.


These are in no particular order, unless you count how I could remember them... Ha! This week's been super busy and I'm gearing up for the Percy Jackson party on Thursday. I cannot wait to show off what I have planned.

Also, I would recommend every single one of these books and their titles are links that take you to the Goodreads page so you can read their synopsis and possibly order them. Yeah? Help an author out this week if you can. 

#1 --> Emmy & Oliver by Robin Benway



#2 --> Jackaby by William Ritter



#3 --> Mechanica by Betsy Cornwell 







#5, #6, #7 --> Something Strange and Deadly Trilogy by Susan Dennard



#8 --> The Book of Lost Things (Mister Max #1) by Cynthia Voigt



#9 --> Trixter by Alethea Kontis



#10 --> Locked by Eva Morgan

      I've read Jackaby already and loved it. The mystery is a bit predictable but it's the characters you truly like the best and read on for. Thanks for stopping by and Happy Reading.

    I absolutely loved Emmy & Oliver, such a good book, and definitely one of my favourites of the year! I didn't get on so well with Jackaby which was a shame, but I really hope you enjoy it!

      Isn't it just the sweetest book?! Emmy & Oliver has been on my want list for awhile so I was pleased to find it in a local independent store. Jackaby has a bit too much predictability in its mystery so that if you're there for that, it isn't as appealing. However, the characters were precious and the reason I read on. This copy I bought is for my daughter who loved it just as much as I did. Thanks for stopping by.

    I have never heard of Emmy & Oliver until I checked out the link you posted (thanks for that!) and am really excited to read it now. Love being introduced to books I wouldn't have found on my own...

    Here is mine this week :) http://busybrunettesbookshelf.blogspot.com/2015/07/top-ten-tuesday-last-ten-books-that.html

      Locked is a Sherlock Holmes pastiche, and I cannot resist books featuring him. Emmy & Oliver is so sweet. Hope you get to read them soon.

    Jealous of your PJO boxed set... I really, really want those covers but I can't make myself re-buy the whole series. Maybe someday I'll get around to it! Happy reading :)

      Yeah... Percy Jackson series ended up with my daughter. That's a bit of a trend up above... most of those books were for her. :)

      Oh good. That's a series we haven't read yet, but I bought them for my daughter because Susan Dennard is amazing. Mechanica looks brilliant doesn't it?

    Great list. I’ve read some of the Percy Jackson books, but I don’t think I’ve read any of those. I’ve really liked the ones that I have read.

      Those Percy Jackson covers are reissues of the original five. So if you've read any of the Percy Jackson and the Olympians, you've read those, just not with those covers.

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. If you follow me on Goodreads, you'll know I'm about 21 books behind my goal of reading 100 books this year. No pressure! None, right? Anyone else panic when they log onto Goodreads or feel awfully proud when they're going on to write a review? That's me lately, LOL!  --> An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir --> Lock & Mori by Heather Petty --> Cress by Marissa Meyer --> Attachments by Rainbow Rowell --> Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell --> Half Wild by Sally Green --> Jackaby by William Ritter --> Read Between the Lines by Jo Knowles --> The DUFF by Kody Keplinger   --> My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories edited by Stephanie Perkins

#TopTenTuesday: Ten Authors I Read the Most

Thanks to the  Broke and the Bookish  for hosting. So I am pretty pleased with this list. Unsurprising is how many of these authors are series creators. Really, yeah... I have a tendency to read all the books in a series whether I like the later books or not. OCD bookish tendencies, uhm... yeah.  Per usual, I shall link to the Goodreads pages of these authors in hopes of you finding someone you end up loving and supporting by either requesting a copy for your library or purchasing a copy for yourself. J. K. Rowling Of course, I have read all seven of the Harry Potter novels, the Fantastic Beasts and Quidditch Through the Ages, The Beedle Bard stories and Very Good Lives. Also, I read Casual Vacancy and own both the Robert Galbraith novels to date. Julia Quinn I have read every single book Julia Quinn has written. EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. There's not a book out she's written that I have not read. I adore he

'Waiting On' Wednesday #18: The Shadow Queen by C. J. Redwine

Ever since this cover debuted, I have been waiting for a chance to make it my WoW choice. Isn't it gorgeous. So much love for this cover. Also, C. J. Redwine is delightfully real in real life despite having an awesomely fictional literary-perfect pen name. She also is such a fannish person that it's hard for me not to want to fan over her. She's a true asset to YA in all that she does and writes and social networks.  Seriously, look her up and then go buy her books, okay? Okay.  DETAILS: Title:  The Shadow Queen Publisher:  Balzer + Bray Publishing date:  February 23, 2016 Author(s):  C. J. Redwine Series:  Ravenspire #1 SUMMARY: Lorelai Diederich, crown princess and fugitive at large, has one mission: kill the wicked queen who took both the Ravenspire throne and the life of her father. To do that, Lorelai needs to use the one weapon she and Queen Irina have in common—magic. She’ll have to be stronger, fast
