Top Ten: Books on My Spring TBR

On By Rachel @ thewasofshallIn tbr, top ten tuesday4 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme was books on my spring TBR.

Whittling down my TBR is so hard. Like, on one hand, it helps me keep organized and know (roughly) which reviews I’ll be posting… but on the other, new books inevitably come out that aren’t on my list but which I really want to read!

† = ARC
* = Year of Asian Reading

♥ All You Can Ever Know: A Memoir* by Nicole Chung
♥ Bloom by Kevin Panetta
♥ The Clockwork Ghost by Laura Ruby
♥ The Fact of a Body: A Murder and a Memoir by Alex Marzano-Lesnevich
♥The Graybar Hotel: Stories by Curtis Dawkins

♥ Internment* by Samira Ahmed
♥ The Library of Ever† by Zeno Alexander
♥ Origin by Dan Brown
♥ Shrill: Notes from a Loud Woman by Lindy West
♥ Star-Crossed † by Minnie Drake

♥ Technically, You Started It † by Lana Wood Johnson
♥ This Is Not a Love Scene † by S.C. Megale
♥ The Unhoneymooners † by Christina Lauren
♥ Woman World * by Aminder Dhaliwal

Top Ten: Books That Need a Sequel

On By Rachel @ thewasofshallIn top ten tuesday5 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme was standalone books that need a sequel.

I had a really hard time with this week’s topic, y’all. The books I thought of first were either already part of a series or were so terrible that, even if I didn’t like the ending, I didn’t particularly care to read more. 😂 So, do the following books need a sequel? No, not really—but I also wouldn’t complain if they got one!

♥ I Went to Vassar for This? by Naomi Neale
♥ If I’m Being Honest by Emily Wibberley & Austin Siegemund-Broka
♥ Miss You by Kate Eberlen
♥ My Favorite Half-Night Stand by Christina Lauren
♥ Neverworld Wake by Marisha Pessl

♥ On the Come Up by Angie Thomas
♥ The Regional Office is Under Attack! by Manuel Gonzales
♥ Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel
♥ What Should Be Wild by Julia Fine
♥ The Witch of Willow Hall by Hester Fox

BONUS! The following books were standalone, but now they all have sequels!!

♥ Geekerella by Ashley Poston
♥ The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood
♥ The Royal We by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan

Top Ten: Characters I’d Switch Places With

On By Rachel @ thewasofshallIn top ten tuesday5 Comments

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl. This week’s theme was characters I’d switch places with – which, just so you know, was really hard! I mostly ended up deciding that these characters had a not-so-difficult arc, existed in a world I found tolerable, and whose end justified the means. Onward!

Beth from Attachments // Diana from A Discovery of Witches // Elle from Geekerella // Susan from Giant Days // Cameron from If I’m Being Honest

Cathy from I Went to Vassar for This? // Molly from Lip Lock // Millie from My Favorite Half-Night Stand // Lizzie from Queen of Babble // Jessica from Sloppy Firsts
