Top Ten Tuesday: Completed Series I Wish Had More Books
I am the absolute worst at reading complete series! I’ll read the first in a series and love it, but by the time the next book comes out, I’ve forgotten most of the important details. This means that I either have to re-read the first book, before reading the second…

Blogging A to Z: Book Series
If you can get a reluctant reader hooked on the first book in a series, you’re in luck! They might be more inclined to read more about characters they already know or settings they’re familiar with. Plus, they now have a comfort level with an author they already like reading!…

Cover Reveal for The Great Caper Caper by Josh Funk and Brendan Kearney
I am so excited about today’s post! I’ve known Josh for a few years having first met him on social media and then later getting to hang out at the Princeton Children’s Book Festival together. Josh is an absolutely fantastic writer and can rhyme just about everything (and do it…

Top Ten Tuesday: Series I’ve Been Meaning To Start But Haven’t
I decided to focus on YA series and specifically chose series that I’ve never started – there are so many series that I start and then abandon at a later date. I’m notorious for stopping in the middle of trilogies as it’s difficult, in my opinion, to write a strong…

Top Ten Tuesday: Harry Potter Fandom – Quote Style
I had a difficult time with this topic! I’m not super into any one thing, unless it’s books, but I decided to go with Harry Potter because I do love the series, I just don’t do the whole writing fan-fiction, purchasing merchandise, etc. part of fandom. So instead I chose ten…

It's Monday! What Are You Reading? 3/13/17
I’ve had little to no time to read this week, but I did get a chance to crack open Carmer and Grit: The Wingsnatchers by Sarah Jean Horowitz which I’m enjoying already (but haven’t gotten too far into yet!). It’s about a faerie with one wing and a magician’s apprentice in…
