What I Read Last Week
This was a great reading week. I fed my romance monster, and added two books to my favorites shelf. If Birds Fly Back was my top read, but The Authentics was a close second. Both were great coming-of-age stories that were just beautiful and engrossing. Loved them!

ReplyDeleteIt was a good week
DeleteI had a slow reading week. I'm really looking forward to summer when I can kick up me reading. Have fun at Book Con. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
ReplyDeleteSo excited for BookCon. That's one thing I miss about my teaching days, those lazy days of summer. Enjoy!
DeleteI read Wonder a few years ago, and it really is a lovely book!
ReplyDeleteI am about 45% through Wonder, and I totally agree with you. I have had to wiped my tears many times already today.
DeleteI love Wonder! I hope you're enjoying it!

It's so good. I love all the different perspectives. It really enriches the story.
DeleteHaven't heard of If Birds Fly Back! Need to check that out!

I have been requesting a lot of debuts for the Debut Author Challenge, and I loved this one! The story is great, loved the characters, and the format is cool. The girl's POV has snippets of a screen play she is writing along with entries from her journal of the lost and found. The boy's POV has snippets from a fictional astronomy book and his made up theories. I inhaled this book. I love a sweet, cute contemporary.
DeleteMy daughter read Wonder earlier in the year and wants me to read it. I will once she loans me her copy.
ReplyDeleteI'm getting ready for Armchair BEA this week. Come see what I'm reading.
I don't really read middle grades, but this book is beautiful. I am not going to BEA this week, but my daughter is, and then we will go to BookCon together. I am so excited!
DeleteWitchtown looks like it could be great! Thanks for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter loves books with witches set in modern times, so I am reading this one with her. Fingers crossed I like it too.
DeleteGreat to feed the romance monster! I never knew about the movie Wonder coming out - loved the book, so will be watching for the movie now.
ReplyDeleteYes! It's coming out in November here in the US. I think I sort of love Julia Roberts and Owen Wilson as Auggie's parents.
DeleteGlad that you enjoyed Riveted. It's great! I loved it too. Oh I'm so curious about He's So Fine. Sounds so good, I hope you enjoy it and the other book. Happy reading and have a wonderful week. :)
ReplyDeleteI am kind of a Shalvis super-fan, and I love the setting of this book (Lucky Harbor). So far, it has all the charm of the others, and this was a pairing I had my eye on too.
DeleteHave fun at Bookcon!! The Bakersville Dozen looks fun.
ReplyDeleteI spend almost all my time in the panels at BookCon, and it looks like there are some very awesome ones.
DeleteWow, I had not heard that Wonder was being adapted. Where have I been? :) I've heard such amazing things about the book but have just never felt led to pick it up. Hope you enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThe book was exquisite. I hope the adaptation dies it justice, because it is such a beautiful story
DeleteYou've certainly had a great week, reading-wise! I just finished The Upside of Unrequited by Beck Albertalli and Queen of Geeks by Jen Wilde and they were both so, so good! You should definitely pick them up! I've been meaning to read Wonder for so long, and now seems like a good time as any to pick it up!
ReplyDeleteRuzaika @ The Regal Critiques ❤
Upside was fabulous! Molly was such a stellar heroine. I really want to read Queen of Geeks. I have only heard great things about it.
DeleteAny week that you get to add books to your favorites shelf is a good week! I enjoyed Wonder and love all things Jill Shalvis. I hope you enjoy this week's books!
ReplyDeleteWonder was incredible. I really thought the way the author used the different POVs was brilliant. I liked how they overlapped chronologically to fill in all sides of the story. I am still trying to figure out the deal with Justin, and why his POV was written without caps or quotes.
DeleteI haven't heard anything about The Authentics before now, but it looks incredible. Gotta pick up a copy ASAP now! I'm very excited to hear your take on Wonder, since it's one of my absolute favourite MG novels. I hope you love it, Sam!
ReplyDeleteI keep getting chills and tears in my eyes when i think about Wonder. It was so beautiful. 😭 I did not have any expectations for The Authentics, and I just loved it.
