Weekly Wrap Up (17)

This week I'm writing from ALA Midwinter in Chicago, where I'm both exhausted and exhilarated by all the bookish happenings. Conferences are exhausting because attendees have to carry books full of books and bookish swag (which, I know, is pointless to mention because we are choosing to pick up all these books and things), must slog through crowds and often wait in long lines (which is often emotionally and physically tiring for us bookish introverts), and sleep in weird and sometimes uncomfortable hotel lodgings. But - and it's a big BUT - conferences are also exhilarating because we get to meet authors we love, talk to publishing reps who are also super excited and passionate about books, and rub shoulders with our online book friends that we don't usually get to see IRL. In the end, I think the pros out weigh the cons. 

Because I was preparing for ALA this week, I didn't read as much as usual. The two novels I read, both adult nonfiction, were actually audios, which I listened to while preparing my apartment for my absence, packing, and driving. In between, I read picture books and one short graphic novel. Some weeks novels just don't fit into the schedule.

This week on the blog:

• Monday I shared some of my favorite new and notable picture books - Storytime
• Tuesday featured a roundup of books soon to be released in paperback that sport very different looks that than the hardcover versions - Covered
• Wednesday I turned back the clock to 2011, featuring a review of Maurissa Guibord's Warped - Rewind Review
• Thursday I showcased three upcoming releases that I've read and loved - Recently Read

Weekly Wrap Up (15)

This has been an interesting week because a) I finished my undergraduate degree - finally! - in English Language and Literature from Western Michigan University and 2) in addition to graduating, I also finished my final two weeks at the bookstore I've been managing for the last year. I spent the week getting ready for my move across the state to Traverse City, MI, where I'll be beginning work at my new job this Tuesday.  You can read more about all that here. On to the next chapter in my life - a homework free chapter! Well, at least until I start grad school next year. :)

This week on the blog:

• Monday I reviewed We Were Liars by E. Lockhart! Read this book immediately - you won't regret it!
• Tuesday I reviewed Life by Committee, Corey Ann Haydu's sophomore novel.
• Wednesday, I featured Cat Winters' The Cure for Dreaming and talked about why it was my weekly WoW pick!
• I guest reviewed The Inventor's Secret by Andrea Cremer over at I Heart Y.A. Fiction!
• I also wrapped up the blog tour for M.P. Kozlowsky's The Dyerville Tales with a giveaway for a signed hardcover copy.
• Thursday I reviewed Sarah Alderson's newest book, The Sound.
• Then I shared an interview with Alderson and offered a chance to win a copy.
• Friday I wrapped up the week with a review of Kristin Rae's Wish You Were Italian!

Read this week:

1. Fiendish by Brenna Yovanoff

 I actually picked this one up expecting horror and was surprised to find that it isn't. I could've sword that I read somewhere that it was, but I guess I was confused. Instead, this is a really fantastic paranormal/fantasy novel that focuses on witchcraft, small town politics, and a potentially ill-fated romance. I really liked this one - look for it this August!

2. Broken Hearts, Fences, and Other Things to Mend by Katie Finn

 I'd been meaning to read this one for awhile, but I moved it up on my reading list after hearing it compared to the television show Revenge. While it definitely has similarities to the show, it's not near as dark or intense, so don't worry, the cover isn't totally misleading. Though it was a bit predictable, I enjoyed this one and will read the next two books in the trilogy. This one is in stores now.

3. Anybody Shining by Frances O'Roark Dowell

Anybody Shining is a historically set MG that I absolutely adored. Set in the 1920s, the novel centers around 12-year old Arie Mae, a adventurous girl growing up in the Appalachian Mountains. The story is told, in part, through letters to her cousin (who has yet to respond to a single one) and explores themes of friendship, being true to oneself, and the importance of family and history. This one will be on shelves at the end of August.

4. Into the Grey by Celine Kiernan

 From what I understand, this book is already out in Europe and is just now coming to the US. If you're looking for a ghost story that will leave you both frightened and introspective, this is it. Look for this one in August.

5. Boys Like You by Julianna Stone

 I really thought I would love this one but... I just didn't. It felt cliche and, despite the premise, shallow. For some reason, I feel guilty about not liking this one, but I have to be honest about it. I just feel like, with so many other novels out there featuring similar plots, this one can be skipped. Out now.

6. The Violet Hour by Whitney A. Miller

I'm so happy I finally had a chance to read this one. I've been looking forward to it every since I saw the awesome book trailer and it totally lived up to my expectations! This is twisty YA paranormal horror with no small amount of gore. And there's a sequel - win!

7. How to Outrun a Crocodile When Your Shoes Are Untied by Jess Keating

 Yay for funny MG! This is a fantastic story filled with animal facts and a great lesson about overcoming insecurity and believing in yourself. And it made me laugh out loud multiple times which is always a good sign. This one is out in June.

8. The Sound by Sarah Alderson

 Brit heroine is nannying in the states for the summer, but things get crazy when she learns that foreign nannies are being attacked and killed by a potential serial killer. Check out my full review here and enter to win a copy here. In stores now.

Read This Week

Open Road Summer by Emery Lord

Road trip, plenty of romantic tension, and a spunky, sarcastic main character? This book had everything I love, so I obviously adored it! Emery Lord has landed a spot on my must-read list. (Goodreads)

Don't Even Think About It by Sarah Mlynowski

This book sounds pretty fluffy. And, in ways, it reads like fluff, but it has surprising depth. It was a quick read and left me looking forward to the next book, Don't Think Twice. If you're looking for a healthy dose of humor, this one is a great read! (Goodreads)

The Art of Lainey by Paula Stokes

I'll be honest, I wasn't hooked on this one from the start. I'll discuss more in my review, but it took me awhile to warm up to this MC. But, when I did, I quickly fell for this contemporary YA in which the MC uses Sun Tzu's Art of War to win back an ex. Love is a battlefield after all. (Goodreads)

The Taking by Kimberly Derting
I've been a fan of Derting's books for years. I read an arc of her debut, The Body Finder, fell in love and never looked back. The Taking is the first in a new trilogy and it is so good. A girl disappears for 5 years than suddenly reappears... and she hasn't aged a day. There's mystery, angst, and a romance that had me glued to the page! (Goodreads)

The Inventor's Secret by Andrea Cremer
Technically I'm only halfway through this one, but I'll be finish it in the next hour or so. This is the start of a new trilogy?/series? from Cremer. I was hooked from the first page - there's steampunk goodness, a corrupt government, secrets, corsets, plunging necklines, and simmering attraction. Win! (Goodreads)

Review: The Summer I Wasn't Me/Jessica Verdi (Review)

Read This Week

To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han

I know that there are many out there who are very excited about this book and, let me tell you, it is so worth the wait. I've been a Jenny Han fan for a few years now and she does not disappoint with this one. One of my favorite elements was Lara Jean's Korean heritage. I just read Stealing Buddha's Dinner - a memoir about a Vietnamese girl growing up in Grand Rapids, MI - and To All the Boys I've Loved Before actually paired really well with the themes in Nguyen's memoir.  (Goodreads)

Ask Me by Kimberly Pauley

This one is from Soho Teen, a newer imprint that is seriously amazing; you should definitely take a look at their titles. They may publish less books per year than the bigger, more established imprints, but everything they do is really impressive. This one was, unfortunately, my least favorite from Soho so far, but it was still a pretty good book. My biggest issue was the characters and their motivations. I'll discuss this more in my review later this month. (Goodreads)

Since You've Been Gone by Morgan Matson

Morgan Matson's books never fail to pull me from reading slumps. I've been reading so much for class lately that I was getting a bit overwhelmed and burned out. Until I picked up Since You've Been Gone, which I proceeded to read in one sitting with a smile on my face through most of the novel. Now, though I should be doing homework, I just want to read and read and read. Reading Matson's books! I've read and loved them all! (Goodreads)

Tell me what you've been reading in the comments! Have we read any books in common lately? I'm on a romance kick - tell me which books with epic, unforgettable romances I need to put on my reading list for the end of this semester!

Read This Week

The Mark of the Dragonfly by Jaleigh Johnson

This MG steampunk fantasy novel was seriously fantastic. Not only is it fast paced and set in a well-developed world, the three main characters complement one another perfectly. Plus it's a standalone, which is refreshing with the number of fantasy trilogies on shelves right now! I reviewed this one on Thursday - you can find my review here. (Goodreads)

Poisoned Apples: Poems for You, My Pretty by Christine Heppermann

It's National Poetry Month, so I'm really indulging in poetry collections and verse novels this month! This collection by Christine Heppermann doesn't release until September, but it needs to be on your must-read list. The poems in this collection reference fairy tales and myth but are given a modern reworking, referencing heavy and complex themes like eating disorders, pop culture, & standards of beauty. (Goodreads)

Yes, Chef by Marcus Samuelsson (& Veronica Chambers)

I technically read this for one of my classes this semester (The Story of Food at University of Illinois). I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved this book. Samuelsson, an Ethiopian orphan who was adopted by a white Swedish family who went on to come a world renowned chef, has a really interesting history and a candid voice. I definitely recommend this memoir for foodies, but also anyone that just likes a really great, inspiring story. (Goodreads)

We Were Liars by e. lockhart

The first rule about Liars Club is that you don't talk about Liars Club. Those of you who have read it know what I mean, but, my point is, this book is best enjoyed when you know nothing about it. And trust me, you will enjoy it. Keep an eye out for my review in May. And now I will stop typing before I spoil something. (Seriously, preorder this book because the only way that people are going to be able to discuss this one openly is if everyone reads it!) (Goodreads)

Elevated by Elana Johnson

I had to check out this verse novel because that cover is so darn cute. I mean, look at that outfit! Also, Poetry Month! This verse novel could have been a bit stronger in terms of character development, but I still enjoyed it. Look for my review later this month. (Goodreads)

Rebel Belle by Rachel Hawkins
I really love Rachel Hawkins' books. Her characters are all sassy and snarky, there's always good romantic tension, and badass action scenes. This new book is just as good as her Hex Hall novels; fans won't be disappointed! I'll be reviewing this one soon. (Goodreads)

Tell me what you've been reading in the comments! Have we read any books in common lately? Have you read WE WERE LIARS and want to have a super secret conversation/lovefest about it?

Review: Uninvited by Sophie Jordan (Review) 

Read This Week

Love Letters to the Dead by Ava Dellaira

This book killed me. It doesn't hurt that I'm a sucker for epistolary novels and music-love in books, but, even if those two elements didn't get me every time, I would have loved this book. I think I bookmarked a quote on every other page... This one is a must-read for April! (Goodreads)

To Be Perfectly Honest by Sonya Sones

This one came out August 2013 and I regret taking so long to read it! It's a verse novel (perfect for April, which is Poetry Month!) featuring an unreliable narrator - a self-proclaimed compulsive liar. I seriously couldn't put this one down and read it in one sitting. (Goodreads)

The Summer I Wasn't Me by Jessica Verdi

At this point, I can't even imagine reading a book for Jessica Verdi that doesn't carry immense emotional weight. Seriously. This sophomore novel features a young girl who, in a last ditch effort to hold her family together, is spending her summer at a religious camp that promises to  make her straight. As you might imagine, things don't turn out exactly as planned. (Goodreads)

Returning to Shore by Corinne Demas

This was a surprisingly quick read despite the fact that it dealt with some pretty heavy issues: abandonment, father-daughter relationships, homosexuality, and even endangered animals. It might seem odd that it was so short with such heavy themes, but it actually worked quite well. (Goodreads)

The Dyerville Tales by M.P. Kozlowsky

I really wanted to like this one, but it didn't really work for me. It had a Neverending Story vibe going on that I liked, but even that couldn't salvage my opinion of it. There was so much going on and none of it ever really seemed to fit together... I kept waiting for that one chapter or moment when everything magically came together, but it didn't happen. I also feel like good villains need some type of motivation to be believable, which this novel was missing. This isn't one I'd recommend, but others seem to be liking it. (Goodreads)
