Top Ten Tuesdays: Favorite Book(ish) Quotes

 

    Welcome to my take on another great Top Ten Tuesday list theme! This post is a part of Stepping Stones Book Reviews' Week of Book Memes, the week-long event where I get to participate in a bunch of the Internet's most popular book blogger memes. (Find my first Monday meme HERE.)

    This month I decided to do something different with my Top Ten Tuesday list. Instead of putting together a list and doing a "mini-review" of all the books included, I've decided to only concentrate on each quote, whether it's from a book or about books, and note why I liked it. If you find a book on here that you'd like to know more about, let me know in the comments and I'll answer with a summary of any issues a day or so after the comment is posted. When I list a book's title, I'll also include an Amazon link, and a link to my review of the book if I've written one already.

    There are spoilers for one book that's listed here, but other than that this post is spoiler-free!

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? #1

    Hi, everyone! Welcome to my first ever try at a It's Monday! What Are You Reading? book blog event. If you're new to Stepping Stones Book Reviews, welcome. This is the first of The Week of Book Memes, a four-part series of posts I'm doing this week, all dedicated to participating in some of the most fun and popular book blog memes that the Internet has to offer. 

    I've had some rough stuff going on the past few weeks (including recovering from a huge surgery), so I got a little behind on my usually big reading list. As I've rested and gotten more strength up, I've begun to pick up more books and finish them too. I hope you'll enjoy taking a look at my bookshelf as of right now.

A Book Review: The Doll People

    Hello! This week I'm going to review another one of my favorite books, which I think is a perfect read anytime, anyplace! Although there have been many books and movies with similar concepts, this one stands out to me, and is definitely worth checking out.

    There may be minor spoilers as I try to give an accurate picture of the book.

    (The discussion questions will have spoilers, since they are supposed to be used after reading the book.)

Top Ten Tuesdays: Books That Should Be Adapted Into Netflix Shows/Movies

     Hi, and welcome to another Top Ten Tuesday list! I was very excited about this list's theme, as I am always finding books I think are good enough to be made into movies. Some of these are more recent reads, while some I've kept close to me through the years, hoping that someone else with the right connections will also see the "big-screen" potential in these books.

    Click below to see the list, including the genre, age target, why I chose the book for my list, and any issues I can remember for whoever wants to check it out. I've also included a link to the book's Amazon page.

    Since it was hard for me to choose just ten this time, I did some extra credit and put in three runner-up titles, just for the fun of it! I hope you enjoy these additional book recommendations.

    All of these Top Ten Tuesday lists are supposed to be spoiler-free, though minor spoilers may sneak in a few times.

A Book Review: Lost In Averell (Plus EXCLUSIVE interview with the author!)

    Hi, everyone! I hope you are having a good week. Today I'll be reviewing one of my new favorite books. This read was absolutely perfect for me, as it was just the type of story I love and am looking for right now. I also reached out to the author and interviewed her through the Internet, and I am so excited to add that experience to my list of interviews. A huge thank you for Tara Grayce for letting me interview her!

    There may be minor spoilers as I try to give an accurate picture of the book.

    (The discussion questions will have spoilers, since they are supposed to be used after reading the book.)

    

    This time, the author interview contains no spoilers!

Top Ten Tuesdays: Books That Make Me Smile

     

    Hey all! I am so excited to share my first Top Ten Tuesday list. At first I was a little worried that I wouldn't know the right books to recommend, or even come up with all ten titles, but seeing what this list was about gave me more confidence. Soon I found myself trying to keep track of all the books I've read (which is not an easy thing) and then trying to pick and choose which go on here since there were so many I loved.

    Below is the list, including a short blurb about what made me smile about the book, and a list of the issues I can remember for those who're thinking about reading it. (Minor spoilers may be there, but I'm trying to keep those out of the picture.)
