About a year ago I learned of this magical website called Netgalley when you can ask to read books for free, usually ahead of their publication date, in exchange for an honest review and rating. It was actually part of the reason I decided to start blogging in the first place. Since then, I’ve reviewed over 40 books via Netgalley, plus a few that I … Continue reading Top 5 Books I Read as an ARC
I’m not a big re-reader – I feel the overwhelming pressure of all the books I’m never going to read, and my priority is reading new things and getting caught up on the latest viral series. But, there are a few that I enjoy re-reading or plan to re-read, which I humbly lay before you at the altar of Bionic Bookworm‘s Top 5 Tuesday. … Continue reading Top 5 Books I Want to Reread
Ok, back to Top 5 Tuesday! How I’ve missed you. This week, Bionic Bookworm is asking for our top 5 character-driven novels. This is a little difficult for me since I definitely prefer plot-driven reads, but I think I still came up with a good list. 1 – Morning Star, Pierce Brown. This one probably doesn’t seem character-driven to most people, but hear me … Continue reading Top 5 Character-Driven Novels
Is there a worse feeling in the world than telling your friends about the most AMAZING book you just finished and hearing them reply that they hated it? Probably, but not one I can think of right now. This week’s Top 5 Tuesday is dedicated to those books. The Picture of Dorian Gray. I was LOVING this book and texted our book club leader to … Continue reading Top 5 books I LOVED that others DIDN’T
Hello and happy Tuesday! This week, Bionic Bookworm has us choosing who would win the show Survivor. I stopped watching Survivor years ago, but I do remember when my punishment for behaving badly at school meant I couldn’t watch that week’s episode (it was a big deal, too, because it was the episode where they caught and killed a pig). This was also before DVR, … Continue reading Top 5 characters that would win the show Survivor
Thank you, Bionic Bookworm, for this week’s topic of five books that lived up to their hype. Our Kind of Cruelty. See my review and the quote from Gillian Flynn – I decided to read this book based on that quote alone and boy was it on point. I still feel icky about it. The Radium Girls. I saw nothing but good reviews for … Continue reading Top 5 Books that Lived Up to the Hype
Top 5 Tuesday is upon us once more. Check out Bionic Bookworm to participate in future weeks – this week, we are listing the top 5 authors we want to meet. Disclaimer: I probably couldn’t bear to meet any of these people in real life, because I get so star struck and I would just clam up. 1 – Jane Austen. Like obviously? Maybe we … Continue reading Top 5 Authors I Want to Meet
After a break last week, we are back with Top 5 Tuesday and this week’s theme from Bionic Bookworm is Top 5 Bookish Pet Peeves. Bad covers. I know all about not judging a book by its cover, but I 100% do. Book spines that don’t line up. WTF is going on here with #5? Overwrought comments about women’s physiques. Is it really necessary for … Continue reading Top 5 Tuesday
Bionic Bookworm says that today’s Top 5 Tuesday is intimidating books. I’m kind of guessing this means long and/or dense reads, and goodness knows I have plenty of those. 1 – It by Stephen King It’s about a shape-shifting killer clown and is over 1,000 pages long. Need I say more? However, I did really enjoy this one and I think I’ll read it again … Continue reading Top 5 Tuesday
Hello and welcome back to the second Top 5 Tuesday of the year, a weekly meme hosted by the lovely Bionic Bookworm. I don’t read a lot of series because I prefer standalone reads. Series stress me out what with their cliffhangers and waiting months or years for the next book to come out. Sometimes, by the time the next book comes out, I’ve forgotten … Continue reading Top 5 Tuesday
