Wish List Wednesday: New Releases


To echo the gif above...I am seriously excited about all these books that are on my wishlist...because well DUH! Books.  I want them in physical copy, I want them in digital copy.  Yes.  Both.  Why? Because I'm a cover whore, and I absolutely love pretty covers and they look good on bookshelves!  Digital, so I can cart them around wherever I go on my Kindle! 

Anyway, without further adieu here are a few of the books that are on my wishlist: 

THAT COVER! So pretty and bloody...and just Stephen King.  The third installment in the Bill Hodges Trilogy...and it is out NOW!!!  Chances are my hold from the library will come in within the next few days once they get their copy and things...and then I won't be able to talk to my roommates about it because I'll have been the only one to read it!  Why does it have to come in when I have to go to work and can't sit up and read all night?!  WHY?!

This book caught my attention (and not just because of the eerie looking cover), because the description puts it along the lines of Pan's Labyrinth and John Connolly's The Book of Lost Things which I've not had the pleasure of reading yet.  However, I've seen Pan's Labyrinth and adored it.  So, I'm looking forward to getting my hands on this one. 

Okay, I've at least read the first two books of this series, and now it appears that I need to get my grubby hands on the third book and wait patiently for the fourth book in the Asylum series by Madeleine Roux.  Patient (yup, I can be that...honest!)

Top 10 Tuesday: Mid Year Favorites


Welcome to this week's top ten Tuesday! 

Ten books.  I think that's easier than picking five...right? I mean 5 is bigger than 10 and gives me more room to juggle the rankings and keep me sane...RIGHT?! Okay, that's what we'll go with! 

So, this week's top ten is going to be my mid-year favorites, since we are at the half way point through this year (SERIOUSLY, where did this year go already?!).  

2016 Mid Year Favorites

10. The Eye of Minds - James Dashner
9. Trigger Warnings - Neil Gaiman
8. The Bourbon Kings - J.R. Ward
7. The Shadows - J.R. Ward

5. The Dom Who Loved Me - Lexi Blake
4. The Martian - Andy Weir
3. The Bone Season - Samantha Shannon
2. Ruin and Rising - Leigh Bardugo

What Is To Come!


Hello loves!  I have missed you greatly! I have been a horrible, terrible slacker and I will in the coming days, weeks, and well, months remedy that!  I have reviews coming out my ears, considering we are in the sixth month of the year and I've not posted a single review for books that I've read this year.  Last year's well, those will eventually weave their way into the fabric of things, but now is the time to start with the reviews for 2016 (shut up, I know I'm running late on things...nothing new there!) . 

Things have been rather busy for me as of late, I think I had enough down time in the month of May to do about ten things for myself.  However, this month is starting off a lot slower than May did, and I am thankful for that.  Just had company for the weekend and that was a blast as always! Now, it is time to get back to business!  

I've lots of things coming, and I promise, I'll be good and not flood your inboxes overly much as I get things going and moving and ultimately ensure that things are caught up where they need to be! 

Coming Attractions

1. Top Ten Tuesday
2. Wishlist Wednesday
3. What's On My Kindle
4. Reviews in abundance
5. Book of the Week
6. Book of the Month
7. Author of the Month
8. Surprises here and there

That's what I'm looking at currently, and will be spending some time today compiling various blog posts for the week and getting them scheduled.  So, check back often.  Subscribe.  Follow.  All that fun stuff.  <3

BotW: Dorothy Must Die

Okay, so am doing this week's post via my phone, so all the flashy bits will be added when I get back to my computer. I know, the month of May started with a bang and kind of died. I did read quite a bit during the month and I will be working on posts for you lovelies.

Anyway, back to the reason you are here today....this week's Book Of The Week!!!

Rarely do I use the book that I am currently reading, but this book has earned that honor.

As you can tell from the title of this post, this week's book is....

Dorothy Must Die

Have you read it? Thoughts? I am in love with it so far and am completely suckered in for the full series ride on this one.

BotW: Outlander


Hello lovelies and happy Beltane! Welcome to the start of a new month!  It so happens that this month starts on a Sunday...which means that I must share with you my book of the week for this coming week!  Wonderful! 

Happy Sunday!  This week's book of the week is by far one of my favorites, and I figure I will share it with you!  

In honor of today being Jamie Fraser's Birthday...the book of the week is...

Outlander
Diana Gabaldon


This series, this book, it has absolutely EVERYTHING that I could want in a book.  The series come to life on television has done it so much justice and I love that Diana is involved in the process.  

I highly recommend checking this book out if you love historical romance, time travel, hot men in kilts...did I mention the kilts...and the hot men? Oh, and there is plenty of adventure too!
