Top 10 Tuesday: Spring TBR

Top 10 Tuesday was created by the Broke and the Bookish. You can find more information here.

It is now run by That Artsy Reader Girl which you can find here.

I do a seasonal TBR of 5 books which should be up this weekend here on the blog and on my YouTube channel. 

Since I don't want to repeat any of those books I am doing the books I want to reread this spring. I am clumping some series together. I have always been a big fan of rereading and feel like that has been missing in my life.

So, here's the list:

1) The Addicted Series by Krista and Becca Ritchie

2) The Calloway Sisters Series by Krista and Becca Ritchie

3) Amour Amour by Krista and Becca Ritchie

4) The Bridgertons Series by Julia Quinn

5) Like Us Series by Krista and Becca Ritchie

6) Bloodlines by Richelle Mead

7) Northanger Abbey by Jane Austen

What's on your TBR this spring?

Thanks for reading!

Top 10 Tuesday: Books I Could Re-Read Forever

Top 10 Tuesday was created by the Broke and the Bookish. You can find more information here.

It is now run by That Artsy Reader Girl which you can find here.

Oh, this topic is right up my alley. I'm a big re-reader and have been my whole life. The books I'm particularly drawn to often have a big emotional impact on me. 

There are some that I can turn to if I need a good cry. Others help restore my faith in humanity. And some inspire me with their content and/or skill.

Here's my list in no particular order:

Blue-Eyed Devil by Lisa Kleypas

Devil in Winter by Lisa Kleypas

Addicted to You by Krista and Becca Ritchie

To Pleasure a Prince by Sabrina Jeffries

Confessions of a Shopaholic by Sophie Kinsella

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett

Crown Duel by Sherwood Smith

Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

Lover Awakened by J.R. Ward

Book of Scandal by Julia London

Top 10 Tuesday: Books That Have Been on My TBR the Longest

Top 10 Tuesday was created by the Broke and the Bookish. You can find more information here.

It is now run by That Artsy Reader Girl which you can find here.

I feel like I have to do this topic, because it can be a reality check. For the last couple of years I've really focused on my TBR and have unhauled books. Part of that is trying to get rid of books I've had for years and never picked up.

It's a little shameful, but I've had some of these books since college. To put that in perspective, I graduated in 2011. And there is one from high school.

I'm going to try and put these in order from oldest-to-newest, but I'm sure it's not completely accurate. The first one is definitely the oldest one from my senior year of high school (2007). That's over a decade! 🙀

The Princess Bride

Blood of the Fold

Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister

The Glamorous Double Life of Isabel Bookbinder

Law of the Garbage Truck

If you Give a Girl a Viscount

Sexiest Vampire Alive

Glitter Baby

One Night in Scotland

Good in Bed

Thanks for reading!

Top 10 Tuesday: Books on My Spring TBR

Top 10 Tuesday was created by the Broke and the Bookish. You can find more information here 

I'm making TBRs again so what better time to come back to Top Ten Tuesday. These are a combination of new releases and books I already own. You know for variety.

I also only did five books. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself.

Are there any books on your Spring TBR you're super-excited about?

Pipe Dreams by Sarina Bowen

Releases: 5/2/17
Sarina Bowen. Hockey. Enough said.

When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon

Released: 5/30/17
I saw this randomly on GoodReads and knew I had to check it out. YA contemporary romances (especially with humor) is one of my favorite genres. Plus, the diversity. I've always been fascinated by Indian culture so this calls to me.

Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder

I was afraid to finish this series because it's so good. I am now planning to finish. Naturally, that means I have to re-read this. Really, I've been looking for excuse to re-read it since I first finished it.

The Boy Most Likely To by Huntley Fitzpatrick

I have no idea why I haven't read this yet. There's no excuse. Most read it!!!

Darkest Hour by Meg Cabot

I've been re-reading this series so I can read Remembrance. This is the next one on my list and things are really starting to get exciting!

Thanks for reading!

Top 10 Tuesday: College-Set Books

I've been out of college for five years but it is still one of my favorite settings. College wasn't the best-time of my life (or worst) but I'm still drawn to it for some reason. I do think part of it is that I really New Adult-especially good New Adult.

3) Addicted to You by Krista and Becca Ritchie
4) Wait for You/Trust in Me by Jennifer L. Armentrout

Top 10 Tuesday was created by the Broke and the Bookish. You can find more information here.

Damn this is a topic! There are so many books I want that I don't already own. So, how to narrow it down-Books that would add to my TBR? Books that I've read and just don't own?

Fortunately, I already have a list of the books I want to buy soon so I pulled from that. And I only did ones that are already released. It's primarily romance and new adult, because that's what I'm really into right now.

It's been a long time since I did a Top 10 Tuesday, but in case you were wondering, I put these in no particular order.

So, here's my list.

1) Cream of the Crop by Alice Clayton

2) His Royal Secret by Lilah Pace

3) Us by Sarina Bowen and Elle Kennedy

4) Broken Prince by Erin Watt

5) Up in Flames by Abbi Glines

6) The Power by Jennifer L. Armentrout

7) Irresistibly Yours by Lauren Layne

8) Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare

9) Bittersweet by Sarina Bowen

10) Fortune's Pawn by Rachel Bach
