Top Ten Tuesday-New Authors

Happy Tuesday, friends! The theme for today's top ten Tuesday is if you like this then I recommend that. This was another hard one for me to wrap my head around, I just don't have the mental capacity for it. So, I decided to do a twist on it. So far this year I have read 132 new to me authors! I can barely wrap my head around that amount, but I was working on a reading challenge and it introduced me to new authors. So, I am going to try to narrow that down to the top 10 that I loved and can't wait to read more from/catch up on their backlist. Hopefully this will introduce you to a new author as well. To find out what our other bookish frJo are doing for Top Ten Tuesday check out That Artsy Reader Girl.

It's Monday! What are you reading? #7

It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is a place to meet up and share what you have been, and are planning to read over the week. It’s a great post to organize yourself. It’s an opportunity to visit and comment and add to your TBR pile! This meme started on J Kaye’s blog and then was hosted by Sheila from Book Journey. Sheila then passed it on to Kathryn at The Book Date.

What I am currently reading:

Sunday Spotlight #6-A Jar Full of Light

Happy Sunday, friends! A few weeks ago I started doing a "Sunday Spotlight" where I highlight a book/author that deserves more love!  I take a book that I have read and enjoyed that has less than 100 reviews on Goodreads and give it some extra love by drawing it to your attention! Maybe someday I will host a link party (if I can figure it out) to make it easier to participate. 

 Title: A Jar Full of Light

Series: Aveline #2

Please Don't Tell Cooper That Jack is a Rabbit

Title: Please Don't Tell Cooper That Jack is a Rabbit

Series: Cooper the Dog #2

Author: Michelle Lander Feinberg

Publisher: SDP Publishing

Genre: Children's fiction

My Review:

Please Don’t Tell Cooper That Jack is a Rabbit is written by Michelle Lander Feinberg and illustrated by Anna Mosca. This is the second book that this dynamic team has produced. I love that the illustrator remained the same, keeping continuity between the stories.

Songs in the Storm

 

Title: Songs in the Storm

Series: Wind River Chronicles #2

My Review:

While this is the second book in the Wind River Chronicles series it can be read as a stand-alone novel. However, a few scenes will make more sense if you have read the first book.

My review:

I love the cover of The First Songs of Christmas. It is what drew me to this book.  I have never read anything by Nancy Wolgemuth but enjoyed her writing style in this book.

First Line Friday #25-Songs in the Storm

Happy Friday! Did time change kick anyone else's tail this week? By Wednesday I felt like the days were SO LONG! My hope for this weekend is to continue trying to catch up as I am still behind on some of my deadlines!! Welcome back to First Line Friday hosted by Meez Carrie at Reading is My SuperPower!! To join in the fun grab the book you are reading and leave a comment with the first line (or your link).  This week I am reading Songs in the Storm by Kathy Geary Anderson. This is the second book in the Wind River Chronicles series. I really enjoyed the first book and hope this one will be just as good.
