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!

My Top Ten Books of 2016

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly f eature at The Broke and the Bookish . This week's theme: top ten books of 2016. A little less than a year ago, I started my blog by making a post of my top 10 favorite books of 2015 . And now here we are again! I've come so far in blogging , and it 's really amazing to be creating the same kind of post as my fi rst one again - but I'l l save the nostalgia for my blogo versary post later this week. Last year, all of the books on my list were also on my all-time favorites list. I didn't quite read ten all-time favorites this year, so I added a couple of five-star but not-quite-favorite books to this post. I also didn't include any rereads on this list - I reread quite a few favorite books this year, and that wouldn't be fair to the rest! But anyway, here are my ten favorite books that I read in 2016. 10. THUD! by Terry Pratchett (Discworld #34) I don't think it would really be a list of my favorite books from a ye...

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...

10 Books That Will Make You Laugh

I like when books make me feel things, and I know that a lot of readers agree with me. It's why we aggressively recommend the books that have turned us into sobbing messes. However, I think as a whole, we think of feeling things while reading as feeling sad or angry or frustrated. Why don't we put a little more focus on the books that make us happy? I was very glad to see that this week's Top Ten Tuesday (a weekly feature at The Broke and the Bookish ) was top 10 books that will make you laugh. So take a break from the tearjerkers, sit back, and relax. (You'll laugh till you collapse! This is what happens to me now that Animaniacs i s on Netflix. ) 1. The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson (Shades of London #1) - Maureen Johnson is one of the funniest YA authors I know of. I don't think I've ever read a book by her that hasn't made me laugh. This one just happens to be the one I read the most recently. I'll admit that this doesn't reall...
