Top Ten Books I've Read In 2015


Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke And The Bookish where each week there is a new topic for a top ten list. 

This week is "Top Ten Books I've Read So Far In 2015" 











So far this year I've read 80 books but surprisingly it wasn't too hard to narrow it down to my top ten. Can you tell I've been switching back and forth between fantasy kicks and contemporary ones? 

Did any of your ten books make my list?

Until next time,

Top Books I'd Like To See Hit The Big Screen


Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke And The Bookish where each week there is a new topic for a top ten list. 

This week is "Top Ten Books I Want Made Into Movies/TV Shows" 

So I made this list and then realized the only way I would want these books made into actual movies/tv shows is if I could control every aspect. Casting, music, settings. No movie is better than a bad movie trying to ruin a book. So keep that in mind Hollywood! ;) 












So I narrowed it down to 11 which was hard! But these are my top books that I would love to see on the big screen! 

Until next time,
Ginger

Waiting On Wednesday

Waiting On Wednesday 

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating. 

Here is my selection for the week: 



Taken from Barnes and Noble: 
Adventure, intrigue, and romance combine in a new fantasy duology from Incarnate series author Jodi Meadows.
When Princess Wilhelmina was a child, the Indigo Kingdom invaded her homeland. Ten years later, Wil and the other noble children who escaped are ready to fight back and reclaim Wil's throne. To do so, Wil and her best friend, Melanie, infiltrate the Indigo Kingdom palace with hopes of gathering information that will help them succeed.
But Wil has a secret—one that could change everything. Although magic has been illegal for a century, she knows her ability could help her save her kingdom. But magic creates wraith, and the deadly stuff is moving closer and destroying the land. And if the vigilante Black Knife catches her using magic, she may disappear like all the others. . . .
The Orphan Queen delivers epic fantasy, perfect for fans of Graceling by Kristin Cashore, Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, and Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo.
Release date is March 10th 2015
You make be thinking "But Ginger, you got the e-arc of this WEEKS ago, why are you so excited for the release date?" 

Well I'll tell you, this past week I found myself in a bit of a reading slump, no matter what I picked up I ended up putting it right back down after a couple pages, I didn't want to read, I didn't want to write, basically I just wanted to sit on my sofa and watch Netflix. 

Long story short-ish, I relied upon TOQ to pull me out of this slump. And miraculously it did! Until I realized the e-arc I had been sent wasn't actually an e-arc but a preview of the first 12 chapters. 

Needless to say it KILLED me not being able to finish this book in one sitting, I'm not at all embarrassed to say that tears were shed when I reached the end of the 12 chapters and found myself sitting there wondering what the hell just happened. 

Sooo I am now counting down the days I can get a FULL LENGTH copy! 

Until next time, 
Ginger
