2017 Anticipated Reads

I have a bucket load of books that I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this year. These are my top anticipated reads for the year.

#1 A Court of Wings and Ruins.

Of course this is my number one spot. My poor heart was RUINED in the last book. I won't say to much because of major spoilers but this book is highly on my anticipated reads. I'm such ACOTAR trash till its unreal. I'm soo addicted to the fan art that I have a dedicated board on pinterest and I keep pictures in my book journal and planner. Its crazy...I know

#2 Caraval by Stephanie Garber

Now, I don't know to much about this and that is kind of haow I wanted this one to be. All I know is that it is compared to the Night Circus which I am currently reading and I like it so far. Also, this feels like a dark, magical, and intense book which I love.

#3 Strange the Dreamer by Lani Taylor

This was on my radar when I first heard about it early last year. This sounds like a great epic fantasy. Again, this one is something that I don't know to much about and that is the way I want to go in with this one as well.

#4 Roseblood by A.G. Howard

This author is known for her retelling of Alice in Wonderland Splintered Series. I didn't finish it but what I did read I really enjoyed it. Roseblood is a retelling of The Phantom of the Opera. I love the Phantom of the Opera musical and movie. When I heard about this I had to add it to my list.

#5 Our Dark Duet by Victoria Schwab

Our Dark Duet is the next installment from Monsters of Verity. I loved this Savage Song and all its Glory. It had a Sin City vibe with monsters in it. It was also dark, intense, and very captivating. The synopisis of of Our Dark Duet seems to promise the same thing. It takes place six months after This Savage song. I needed this book the day after I finished the first one.

The Mister Book Review

Goodreads synopsis: London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face. But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past. Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own? I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

Discussion #1 Sex in Y.A. Fiction

Working as a Young Adult Librarian, I get this questions about this topic asked a lot. These are some of the questions that I am asked. Most of the time it is the parents that come to me especially the ones that have a child that is transitioning from children's fiction to Y.A. I can understand a part of what the parent is trying to do because of the age of the child. Not all of my teens parents monitor what they read but the majority of them do. So I break it down for them 1.) Y.A. stands for Young Adult. It ranges from the ages of 12-18 but it is divided. 12-14 and 15-18. If the teen falls into the 12-14 bracket I take them to the middle school section in our childrens area because it is a lot easier to find some books that will appease both parent and teen. 2.) Not ALL Y.A. is explicit and have vulgar language. It may have a few curse words. The majority of it may have some type of high school slang or something around that area and mild language but not all Y.A. is the...

Discussion Post #3 When did you find your love for reading?

I have been an avid reader for a good while but I did not start out as one. In fact, I hated reading. I never gave it a chance and as I said in the previous discussion post anytime I am forced to read something it just makes me want to not read it even more. I was about 13 and I remember one of my best friends was reading Harry Potter and I asked her why was she reading it. She looked at me like I had grown an eye in the middle of my forehead. In reality all I was seeing was the length of the book. At the time, I was very intimidated by how long a book was. Fast forward a couple of years I went to a library program and they were showing Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets. Long story short....I loved the movie. The librarian told me if I loved the movie I would most definitely love the book. I checked them out and I totally understood why my best friend loved them. They were simply amazing and I so desperately wanted my letter to come in the mail. I went into a reading slump ...
