Hello my bookish friends! Top Ten Tuesday has a new host so be sure to link up over at T hat Artsy Reader Girl . The creators over at The Broke and the Bookish are closing their doors for now. I'm going to try to be a semi-consistent contributor. But as always, I make no promises. Today's topic is Top Ten Bookish Resolutions/Goals. I probably won't keep any of these just like last year but a girl can dream, right? 1. Read Only the Things I Love I'm pretty sure I said this last year but it didn't happen. I visited Netgalley to post an overdue review and suddenly ended up requesting 10 more. Ugh. I think I've learned my lesson once and for all. Reading under pressure sucks all of the joy out of reading. And I still have 8 left . . . No more Netgalley! I am convinced that site is run by the devil! Of my five stars reads only two of them were review books and neither were from Netgalley. Hmmmm. 2. Learn How to Use Bookstagram ...
Between naps is a little recap of what we been up to recently on and outside of the blog. Last Week on the Blog: The Reviews: ♥ See What I Have Done by Sarah Schmidt ♥ A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman ♥ Frankenstein by Mary Shelley ♥ The Late Breakfasters by Robert Aickman The Other Stuff: ♥ March 2018 Nocturnal Reader's Box Reveal ♥ New Edition of Got My Eye On with 6 more tempting reads! What We've Been Up To I spent my $50 birthday gift card at Barnes and Noble but even with a list in hand it wasn't easy! They had none of the books on my list so I asked for some help on Twitter and couldn't find any of those books either. Why do they make it so hard to spend money in their store?! I ended up buying these and ordered "The Listener" by Robert McCammon because, of course, they didn't have it in stock. It's been 5 days and they still haven't called to let me know...
So there was a thing on Goodreads that made me feel a little excluded. This thing was hard to avoid seeing because they placed a big, ugly banner atop the website that was hard to miss. This thing was a link to their list of the Hottest Books of Summer . This list was lukewarm for me, at best, because it excluded many genres and seemed a wee bit uninspired. I put out a snarky little tweet on Twitter to voice my frustration and Toni the Reader agreed that we should create our own epic list of books that showcased our horror love so here we are! The Hottest Books of Summer?! Says who? There is no horror! 👿 Not a single one. 💔 Horror Peeps should we create one? https://t.co/KmFutLiQIO via @goodreads — barksbknonsense (@barksbknonsense) June 22, 2018 Well. the horror people came through! A giant thanks go out to the best read horror readers in the Twitterverse for making it possible to create this list that will enable us to spend all of our money and have a summer filled ...
I've always wanted to read this so count me in!
