What's On My Netgalley Shelf?

One of the worst parts of my extended reading slump is that I just get more and more behind on my NetGalley review copies. I haven't been fully caught up since last summer. I've done a bit better - I got through all of the ones that had June 2018 publication dates, and posted reviews for them here - but there are still a lot that I need to get to!

I'm posting this as a way to hold myself accountable. I fully expect all of these books to, at the very least, be on the list of books I read in 2018. I might not be posting full reviews here for the ones that were published a while ago, but I'll definitely be reviewing them on Goodreads! Here are the ten that I need to get to:


Which of these books should I read first? Tell me in the comments!

    Oof! I don’t even want to think about my netgalley right now 🙈 I also have there’s someone inside your house on mine though! I think it could be an easy one to knock out seeing as it’s a short thriller.

      I'm really glad that a lot of the books on my shelf are short! And now that it's about to be fall I'm in the mood for thrillers again...might be time to knock that one out!

    I Stop Somewhere was really emotional and painful, and also, very good. I liked More Than We Can Tell. Not as much as the first book, but I loved learning more about Rev. I am reading See All the Stars this week, so I am hoping it's good.

      Good to hear that you liked both of those! I have high hopes for them.

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...
