It’s Top Ten Tuesday, and today’s topic from the girls at The Broke and the Bookish is Ten Things on Our Reading Wishlist. My list today will be generally referring to things I’d like to see more of in Christian fiction, as that is where I pick up most of my books. Well, where to start? 😉
Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday! The girls at The Broke and the Bookish have had me going in circles this week as I tried to work out how I would approach this topic. For starters, I have an insatiable appetite for reading. If you say the word book, I’m interested! For me, it’s not a matter of looking for something to read so much as deciding which of the thousands of books on my TBR continent I’ll pick up next.
It’s Tuesday! And that means another Top Ten list brought to you by the girls at The Broke and The Bookish. This week’s topic is ‘Books that you loved less/more than you thought you would.’ I thought the positive side of this topic would make for a much cheerier post than the negative, so without further ado, I present my list of books that I loved more than I thought I would: The Hunger Games Trilogy – Suzanne Collins I’ll start with the controversial one! I have heard many people commenting along the lines of ‘I’ll never read that book,’
Brought to you thanks to the girls at The Broke and The Bookish This week on Top Ten Tuesday it’s a ‘Choose-Your-Own-Top-Ten’—that is, there’s no set topic. I may very well have spent the entire week trying to decide between the many glorious Top Ten lists I could come up with, but after recently reading Another Day, Another Dali from the Serena Jones Mystery series by Sandra Orchard (you can read my review here), I got to thinking about my lifelong love of mysteries and thought, “Why not blog about my love affair with bookish crime solvers?”
It’s First Line Friday time again! I crossed another book off my TBR mountain this week: Another Day, Another Dali,* by Sandra Orchard. If you love suspense with a dash of romance, a pinch of dry humour, and a handful of quirky characters, then you really should check this series out. I tore my gaze from the porch that wrapped around the drug dealer’s house and cringed at the number on my phone’s display. Mom said there’d be days like this. Now it’s your turn. Pick up the book nearest you (or the book you’re currently reading) and let me
Publisher’s Description: When a valuable Salvador Dali painting belonging to her grandmother’s friend is mysteriously replaced by a forgery, FBI Special Agent Serena Jones is called in to investigate. Serena hopes finding the thief will also mean finally measuring up to Nana’s expectations. But when the evidence points to members of the owner’s own household, it becomes increasingly clear that Serena won’t be winning any popularity contests. The Dali isn’t the only painting that’s fallen prey to the forgery-replacing thief, raising the specter of a sophisticated theft ring–one with links to dirty cops, an aspiring young artist, and the unsolved
Okay, we’re going to have some fun on Word Nerd Wednesday today! I’ve just finished reading the second book in Sandra Orchard’s Serena Jones series: Another Day, Another Dali.* (It’s a fabulous series, if you haven’t read it yet.) In the novels there is a minor character—a neighbour of Serena’s—who loves to help expand people’s vocabularies by giving them a ‘word of the day’ to incorporate into everyday speech. And he comes up with some doozies! One of the words he comes out with is ‘slangwhanger’. I admit it: I got the giggles. I mean, who comes up with
Want to hear a funny story? I’ve been planning on mixing up my blog posts a bit this year, now that I’m settling into the book blogging community and discovering all the fun things that go on. One of the things I thought I would do this year is Top Ten Tuesday, masterminded by the […]
