Top Ten New To Me Favorite Authors I 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 New To Me Favorite Authors I Read In 2015"

1. Rainbow Rowell- Crazy, I know, but this year I finally got on the Rainbow Wagon, I read 3 of her books this year, Eleanor and Park, Fangirl and Attachments. I'm currently reading Carry On and next up is Landline! (Write faster Rainbow, write faster!)

2. Jennifer E. Smith- I've always loved her book covers and her synopsis' never fail to pull me in so don't ask me why it took me so long to pick up one of her books but once I did I was hooked! I only read one this year but next year I'll dive into the rest. 

 3. Wendy Higgins- I stumbled upon her Sweet Evil series on Audible and the story, characters and the narrator pretty much killed me! I listen to books 1 and 2 within a week of each other and I'm (not so) patiently waiting for my next credit to finish the series! 

 4. Jessi Kirby- I freaking loved this book, the writing, the characters, everything! I actually thought it was a debut book but after digging around on GoodReads I found she has a couple of other books out which I'll be putting on hold asap!

5. Francesca Zappia- Tissues. Lots and lots of tissues. This is probably one of my top 5 books of 2015 so I had to include Francesca on this list! This unfortunately is a debut book so I'll have to wait to read more from her but I'm very confident it'll be well worth the wait!

 6. Jodi (I live off the tears of my readers) Meadows- What? You don't call her that? I cannot believe The Orphan Queen was the first book of Jodi's that I read! It instantly made my list of all time favorite books and I'm dying to read the sequel as well as her previous series!

 7. Morgan Matson- Since You've Been Gone is the first book of Morgan's that I've read and it's seriously the best summer read! Its the perfect blend of beach read fun and seriousness. I'm really looking forward to reading more from her! 

 8. Kody Keplinger- I had no desire to read The DUFF until I started seeing previews for the movie but of course once the movie came out I had to read the book. The book is (of course) way better than the movie and I ate it up! Right after I finished it I was sent an ARC of Lying Out Loud and while it wasn't quite as good as The DUFF I'm excited to see what's next!

 9. Nicola Yoon- Another debut but so worth the mention! This book was insanly good! I finished it and immediatly told my mom she had to stop everything and read it and she loved it just as much as I did. I need her next book in my hands asap!

 10. Abbi Glines- Last but not least! I've heard of Abbi's books for a while now so when I was sent her newest book I had to drop everything and read it. I was not disappointed. Her writing reminds me a lot of Colleen Hoover so of course I loved it. I'm looking forward to catching up on her previous books and already anticipating new releases. 

So there you have it! Feel free to link your TTT in the comments so I can check it out! 

Until next time,

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:

On the night before they leave for college, Clare and Aidan only have one thing left to do: figure out whether they should stay together or break up. Over the course of twelve hours, they'll retrace the steps of their relationship, trying to find something in their past that might help them decide what their future should be. The night will lead them to friends and family, familiar landmarks and unexpected places, hard truths and surprising revelations. But as the clock winds down and morning approaches, so does their inevitable goodbye. The question is, will it be goodbye for now or goodbye forever?

Charming, bittersweet, and full of wisdom and heart, this new irresistible novel from Jennifer E. Smith, author of The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight, explores the difficult choices that arise when life and love lead in different directions.

Release date is September 1st 2015 

I have only read one Jennifer E. Smith book but that alone was enough to hook me and even though I have to make it through quite a few of her previous books I'm still really excited about this one!

Until next time,

Top Ten Summer TBR Books For 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 On My TBR For Summer 2015" 

I'm currently reading Morgan Matson's "Since You've Been Gone" and I'm LOVING it so I'm really excited to read "Second Chance Summer" in the next couple of weeks. 

Next are two books from Huntley Fitzpatrick, I loved "What I Thought Was True" and I've been dying to read "My Life Next Door" so when I saw she had a sequel (companion novel?) coming out I thought it would be the perfect time to add it to my summer TBR. 

Next up are two Kasie West books, can you tell I love reading contemporaries during the warm months? I adored "On The Fence" and I know I'll love these two just as much! 

Another authors who I just recently 'discovered' (or who I've heard about for AGES but only just picked up a book and fell in love for myself) is Jennifer E. Smith. "The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight" was such a cute, fast read and I'm dying to get my hands on more of her books!

Next up is Jenny Han's new book. Jenny writes the perfect summer/beach reads so of course this one made my list! 

Second to the last book and I can honestly say that before tonight I had never heard of this book. I was randomly browsing Goodreads and stumbled upon it and it looked so good I couldn't help but include it! It sounds like "The DUFF" (the book not the movie) and since I loved "The DUFF" I'm super excited to pick this up! 

And last but certainly not least is a re-read I'll be picking up this summer. Since this book came out in 2007 I've read it almost every summer. It's one of my favorite books and I can't imagine letting the summer go by without picking it up and immersing myself in Ann Brashares world. 

Let me know which books you'll be reading this summer and please link your blogs in the comments! I need to get better about commenting/reading others blogs! 

Until next time, 

Ginger
