Most Anticipated October Releases

Apparently any regular posting schedule on this blog is a thing of fantasy, and I'm okay with that (at least for now). But even if I don't have a regular schedule, I'm going to try and post as much as I can through Blogtober! I found out about this challenge through Jenn @ Jenniely, and I'm so happy I found it before October officially starts!

For today, it's time to talk about my most anticipated October releases, and there sure are a lot of them! It's a FANTASTIC month for YA releases, and I can't wait to get my hands on these!


THE LADY'S GUIDE TO PETTICOATS AND PIRACY by Mackenzi Lee - October 2nd
 • Felicity was one of my favorite parts of book one, so I fully expect to love her solo book even more
 • I always want more queer historical fiction
 • AROACE MAIN CHARACTER, THIS IS NOT A DRILL



THE SPY WITH THE RED BALLOON by Katherine Locke - October 2nd
 • ok so I've already read this but I HAVE to talk about it
 • queer Jewish siblings punching Nazis
 • absolutely broke my heart I love it so much  

BENEATH THE CITADEL by Destiny Soria - October 9th
 • I LOVED Destiny Soria's debut, IRON CAST (my review here)
 • I've heard nothing but good things about this one so far
 • fantasy with an ensemble cast is always great  


BLANCA & ROJA by Anna-Marie McLemore - October 9th
 • Snow White and Rose Red is one of my favorite fairy tales ever!!
 • I've read Anna-Marie McLemore's short stories but not any of her novels yet and I really want to!

ODD ONE OUT by Nic Stone - October 9th
 • DEAR MARTIN was one of the first books I read this year and one of the best, so I can't wait to see how Nic Stone will wreck me next
 • I say I'm sick of love triangles but I really don't mean it, especially if they're queer 



WHAT IF IT'S US by Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera - October 9th
 • seriously do I need to say anything about this
 • Becky Albertalli and Adam Silvera have both written some of my favorite books
 • I was hoping for this before it was even a thing

What are some of your most anticipated October releases? Tell me in the comments!

Thoughts on Required Reading

This blog post is brought to you by Pride and Prejudice and my AP Lit class. I've been thinking a lot about required reading, probably because I'm having to do so much of it. School comes with many types of required reading. Today, I won't be talking about reading excerpts from textbooks on various subjects, because I think everyone agrees that unless the subject is of particular interest, those readings are boring at best and painful at worst. Instead, I'm talking about being required to read entire works of literature (or, less often, nonfiction). During winter break this year, I was required to read Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice . I thought that this would be one of my easiest assignments ever. I LOVE that book. I read it for fun two summers ago and could barely put it down! I was expecting wonderful days curled up on the couch with a mug of hot chocolate, enjoying the chance to revisit one of my favorite novels while still being productive. Best of all...

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 2016 Releases I Didn't Get To (But TOTALLY Plan To)

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten 2016 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn't Get To (But TOTALLY plan to) So, as you may have noticed, I only posted once last week. My plan for 2017 to be completely on schedule is off to a GREAT start. But it's not going to happen again! I have plans, and I'm going to stick to them. And one misstep shouldn't mean I give up on the whole goal! So here's to the rest of 2017 being completely on schedule. Anyway, moving on to posts that are on schedule - top ten Tuesday! This was a pretty easy topic - I never get around to all of the books that I want to. I'd say that the I read the most releases from any given year in the next year, so I'm sure I'll be reading plenty of 2016 releases this year. Here are the ten that I'm most excited about! THIS SAVAGE SONG by Victoria Schwab (Monsters of Verity #1): I've been saying that this book ...
