Top 10 Series I'd Like to Catch Up On (or Start)

 I have a lot of series I've read with books that recently came out that I want to catch up on, but frankly, feeling a little overwhelmed! With everything I have going on, I'm turning more to TV shows than books, and some of these series/trilogies, I feel like I want to reread the whole series or at least the previous book before I pick up the new ones. Anyway, I am lucky that a lot of long-awaited books have finally, finally come out and they will be there when I am ready!

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Rader Girl!

Top 10 Series I'd Like to Catch Up On (or Start)

1. Dreams Bigger Than Heartbreak, #2 in the Unstoppable series by Charlie Jane Anders!!!!! These first two came to mind immediately because I've been thinking about reading them and love both these authors so much--but I do feel like I have to reread the previous books because I feel like there are so many intricate details, and the Unstoppable series has a huge (amazing...but...huge) cast, since, you know, it is a starship. 

2. Greywaren, #3 in the Dreamer trilogy by Maggie Stiefvater!!!!!!! My friend thinks this one might not be good for Declan though, and he is my favorite, so if she is right, I will be mad. 

3. Station Eternity, #1 in the Midsolar Murders by Mur Lafferty--this is the first book in a brand-new trilogy that just came out, and it looks great!

4. A Prayer for the Crown-Shy, #2 in the Monk & Robot series by Becky Chambers--I had been meaning to read this series forever, and I did read the first one relatively recently so I might not need to reread it again if I get to this one soon. 

5. Yours Cheerfully, #2 in the Emmeline Lake chronicles by AJ Pearce--I definitely did not imagine that the cheery book about an advice columnist on the homefront in the U.K. during WWII would turn into a series, but I'm here for it!

6. Seasparrow, #5 in the Graceling Realm series by Kristin Cashore--Ok, I did not actually think this one was out yet, but it looks like it came out Oct. 27! I'm so excited and actually I love and reread this series so much, I can probably go straight to this one--though this is one of those ones I might want to wait till I really need a comfort book.

7. City of Ruin, #2 in the Witch Walker series by Charissa Weaks--Also did not realize this one is actually out! And I read the first book recently enough--might have to skim it again.

8. In the Serpent's Wake, #2 in the Tess of the Road series by Rachel Hartman--I loved Tess of the Road so much. Again, kind of saving this for a comfort read.

9. The Silvered Serpents, #2 in the Gilded Wolves series by Roshani Chokshi--I read the first one like...five years ago? And looks like the third one is already out too. Oops.

10. Rosewater, #1 in the Wormwood Trilogy by Tade Thompson--My friend recently recommended this to me, and I went to add it to my Goodreads want-to-read shelf--and it was already there!

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel

Book Review: The Speed of Clouds by Miriam Seidel *To Be Released from New Door Books on April 10, 2018* Mindy Vogel is haunted by the future. In frequent daydreams, she toggles between her real, wheelchair-bound life and the adventurous life of her fanfic alter ego, SkyLog officer Kat Wanderer. She's haunted by all that Kat can do which she cannot---belong to an organization of comrades, walk, and fall in love---yet. Because at twenty-four, Mindy's future is very much ahead of her, wheelchair notwithstanding. Through Mindy's "SkyLog" fanzine and related emails, Seidel evokes Star Trek fandom around the turn of the millenium, but also creates a new and compelling science fictional universe, similar to what Rainbow Rowell's Fangirl  does for the Harry Potter fandom with "Simon Snow." Mindy is among the pioneers transitioning fandom from print to digital, boldly encountering like-minded individuals from the comfort of her chair behind the monito...

Books with Single-Word Titles

Inheritance by Christopher Paolini 6. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius 7. Stoned by Aja Raden (has a subtitle) 8. Educated by Tara Westover 9. Fledgling by Octavia Butler 10. Kindred by Octavia Butler

Books Read in July 2024

 Pitch It by Evie Blum-- Kind of a weirdly suspenseful romcom but I enjoyed the perspective of a woman working in Silicon Valley,  which I don't see a lot. The business jargon was on point. The author is really talented at writing physicality too; be prepared for a lot of spicy scenes.  My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Bro di Ashton, and Jodi Meadows--I'd wanted to read this for a while (Tudor history nerd, hello!), and I just saw and loved the show on Prime and finally got the book from Kindle Unlimited.  Both are so, so good! Very tongue-in-cheek, intrusive narration, and so many riffs on Shakespeare, Tudor history, and more. Plus it's a surprise fantasy world with people who turn into animals instead of Protestants vs. Catholics--totally brilliant. Can't wait to read the rest! An Improper Situation by Sydney Jane Bailey-- On Stuff-Your-Kindle romance day, I took a chance on a lot of different books. This was the first one I tried. I really enjoyed the 19th century Sp...
