. . . in the wee hours last night. And I am suddenly eighteen again and everything is crazy sweet and hopeful.
Top Ten Tuesday is a bookish feature hosted at That Artsy Reader Girl
It's been awhile, but this topic was too good to pass up. When I thought about it, I genuinely could not recall which were the first ten books I actually reviewed here on the blog. So then, of course, I had to know. The thing is, I originally started the whole thing simply posting a once a month list of my favorite reads and rereads of the month. That went on for some time until lo and behold I went ahead and wrote and posted my first review on November 9, 2007. In hindsight, I probably should have known exactly which book pushed me over the edge into full fledged reviews. So this was a rather delightful journey back in time. Do you remember the first book you ever reviewed (in any forum) or what made you take the plunge? Here are my first ten (and I have to say, looking at this snapshot from the past, these remain some of my absolute favorite authors and a pretty spot-on array of the genres I read and love tod…

I just bought this :-) So glad to hear it worked for you.
ReplyDeleteIt did, Li. It did.
ReplyDeleteOooh, I've been looking forward to this one!
ReplyDeleteIt is here! Rejoice!!
ReplyDeleteRejoicing right now! :)
ReplyDeleteStephanie Perkins is very good at bringing out the teenager in her readers. I'm only 21% in but that is exactly how I feel about Isla and the Happily Ever After so far.
ReplyDeleteHehe
ReplyDeleteVeeeery good. And particularly with this one, I thought.
ReplyDeleteI really loved this--the more I think about it, the more I think it's maybe my favorite of her three. There's something both magical and real about Isla & Josh's story.
ReplyDeleteExactly. I really need to do a reread of LOLA. I reread ANNA not long back and enjoyed it just as much as the first time. Now for LOLA so I can make an informed decision.
ReplyDeleteBut, yeah. Josh + Isla. Dang.
I just finished. What a wonderful, heady, romantic read. And it's impossible to put down!
ReplyDeletePerfect description, JoLee. Heady and romantic. So so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI loved The Fault in Our Stars. Should I read these possibly? I don't usually like romance but if it's different than I can handle it.
ReplyDeleteI think these would be a great bet! They're not heavy romances, just sweet and swoony lovely ones. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad it worked out for you! I was so excited for this, but it didn't end up being my cup of tea...YA is the best, but these books (especially Isla) were a little bit TOO teenager-ish?
