January Wrap-Up

So far, 2018's been off to a pretty good start reading-wise. I read a new favorite (DEAR MARTIN by Nic Stone - nearly read it in one sitting, and it was absolutely incredible!), got through quite a few books I'd been meaning to read for a while, and read almost entirely 4 and 5-star books! That doesn't mean I didn't have any disappointments, but they were far outweighed by the good books.

I've decided to only do mini reviews for months where I've read fewer books, because months like this can lead to really long wrap-up posts really quickly. That said, here's a quick summary of my reading month:







READING CHALLENGE PROGRESS

Beat the Backlist Challenge: 15/70 (all except THE UPSIDE OF FALLING DOWN)
Nonfiction Reading Challenge: 1/20 (QUEER, THERE, AND EVERYWHERE)
Netgalley & Edelweiss Reading Challenge: 1/10 (THE UPSIDE OF FALLING DOWN)
Finishing the Series Challenge: 1/1-4 series (Scarlet Witch series)
2018 Debut Author Challenge: 0/12
Read It Again, Sam Challenge: 0/12+

Ten Books I Need More People to Love

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Underrated/Hidden Gem Books You've Read in the Past Year or So. One of my favorite things to do is get other people to read books I love. That way, I can discuss the boo ks with them, and if I know their tastes well enough, I know I'm givin g them something that they'll love! Unfortunately, I can't do this with the entire world. And that means that there are books that I've really enjoyed t hat just aren't widely loved. Why ? I don't know. And that's why I spend so much time trying to get other people to read them. Here are ten books I've read some what recently that I think really deserve some m ore lo ve. IRON CAST by Destiny Soria: I'll never get tired of diverse books, I 'll never get tired of historical fiction, and I'll never get tired of positive female friendships. When you pu t those all together, they ma ke a book tha...

Ten Books I Wouldn't Mind Getting for Chanukah

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Books You Wouldn't Mind Santa Leaving Under Your Tree (with a slight alteration). I'm probably one of the easiest people to shop for. If you have the link to my Goodreads, you're basically guaranteed to get me something I'll like. (And even if you don't, I'm really not hard to please.) But, of course, there are some books that I'm more excited for than others. Here are ten that I would be absolutely thrilled to get as gifts this year. GEMINA by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff: The more I think about how great this book is going to be, the more I want it. And it's so pretty! P.S. I LIKE YOU by Kasie West: I love Kasie West! Her contemporaries are all so adorable - I can't believe I haven't read this one yet. THE SECRET KEEPERS by Trenton Lee Stewart: Finally, another book from the author of my favorite middle grade series ever! I...

Top Ten 2017 Debuts I'm Excited For

Happy new year, everyone! I love Ne w Year's - there 's just so mething so wonderful about the idea of a fresh start. (Especially after 2016.) I have a feeling that 2017 is going to be a great yea r here at Lost in My Library. In a co mpletely unrelated celebration, this is my 100th post! This some how feels a lot m ore tangible than my blogoversary last week, but i t's just as unbeli evable to me . It turns out that out of all of the 2017 books I'm excited for, there aren't a ton of debuts. There are a lot of books by authors I haven't read before, but a bunch of those are actually the author's second or third book. But there are enough debuts that I'm pretty excited for everything on this list. Almost all of these wil l be pu blished in the first half of the y ear, which I'm a little surprised at - I guess it's just because I know more about those books.   WAIT FOR ME by Caroline Leech ( January 31): I love historical ficti...
