November 29, 2018 1 Comment

The holidays are here and with them comes the perfect opportunity to pre-order a book for a friend or your Secret Santa or even yourself. The hard part is narrowing down which books to order. I have been very lucky and have read a variety of books that come out in 2019 already and have a lot more on my shelves waiting for me to get them. Well today I’m here to share with you some of my personal suggestions for those holiday gift pre-orders.

Top 10 Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday – Book-ish Things You Want to Own that Aren’t Books

April 15, 2014 No Comments

In all seriousness, there was one answer and one answer alone I wanted to give for this post.

{Excuse me while I wipe up my drool. But would you look at that bottom lip!!}

And then I thought, I can’t own him. He has to play Four and be cute with Shailene in all the interviews. So I settled on just staring at him (maybe for an inappropriately long time) and then got serious. I’m not one for a lot of different book items that aren’t books so I couldn’t think of much that I would want to own. As I thought I kept going to this wishlist that I have in my head and then it came to me. My top ten list for today: Ten authors I would love to meet and/or have them sign one of my books. That’s something that is book-ish without being a book. BAM! See how I did that??!! 🙂 Now I ask of you, who is on your dying to meet wishlist?

Stephanie Perkins/Morgan Matson/Sarah Ockler/Miranda Kenneally/Trish Doller/Emery Lord/Suzanne Young/Lauren Miller/Kasie West/Jennifer Rush

YA Book Lover’s Wishlist

I was trying to think of some books that I could suggest for people to buy for gifts this holiday season. Honestly I could have gone on and on with this post but I cut it at 20 books/series. Some are pre-orders, some are ones I read years ago and are favorites and some are just books I think everyone should read. By no means is this a complete list and I’m well aware I left some really good ones off, but I just went off the top of my head and this is what came to mind. Now get shopping. I’ve read them all and I find them all fantastic.

Monopoly Money Monday

April 29, 2013 No Comments

Not gonna lie, this post is getting harder and harder to do and I’m running out of ideas so it may have to go on hiatus for a while unless you have some suggestions for me. But with all that aside I did have one idea left in the artillery. Books! As you know, if you have been reading or paying attention to my Instargram, I am not buying anything in the month of April. No clothes, no nail polish, no books. Which has actually worked out since there are about 25 books that I want that are released in May. With that in mind I decided I would spend my $100 monopoly dollars(seriously, I’ll be spending real money on these at some point as well) and buy the top 8 books for the month.

1) Criminal by Terra Elan McVoy(available 5/7/13): $11.20
2) The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey(available 5/7/13): $11.98
3) How I Lost You by Janet Gurtler(available 4/23/13): $8.99
4) Fifteenth Summer by Michelle Dalton(available 5/7/13): $8.99
5) Golden by Jessi Kirby(available 5/14/13): $11.41
6) The Book of Broken Hearts by Sarah Ockler(available 5/21/13): $11.46
7) Thousand Words by Jennifer Brown(available 5/21/13): $11.42
8) Wild Awake by Hillary Smith(available 5/28/13): $11.98
9) Nantucket Blue by Leila Howland(available 5/7/13): $11.80

TOTAL: $99.23*
