Always Me

        Happy Thursday everyone! Welcome back to Books from the Backlog , the weekly linkup I'm taking part of which is hosted by Carole's Random Life in Books .  This is a great way to put a spotlight on books that I've had sitting on my shelf for awhile.  I don't know when I'll get to my weekly featured book, but I hope to some time hopefully soon.

  Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl .  This week's topic is Authors I've Met, but I've decided to feature recent books I've enjoyed that I would love to see adapted to the big or small screen.  Without further ado, here we go in alphabetical order by title: The Amberglow Candy Story ( The Night Alley #1) by Hiyoko Kurisu - I need to see this as a tv series - live action would be great, but animated would be nice too - whatever works.  I wouldn't even mind if the adaptation would further add some more stories just so I could see some more of Kogetsu's experiments and his friend Akifumi as well. Another Kind by Trevor Bream and illustrated by Cait May - Please, I just want to spend some more time with these delightful kids and a tv adaptation would be a brilliant way to do that! Beth is Dead by Katie Bernet - I've seen quite a few Little Women adaptations, but I'd really like to see this YA co...

Happy Friday everyone!  This week I'm spotlighting one of my SeasonAthon Academy Semester Five books,  The Great Train Robbery by Michael Crichton .  It's been awhile since I've read a Michael Crichton book, but this does sound intriguing. Beginning: Forty minutes out of London, passing through the rolling green fields and cherry orchards of Kent, the morning train of the South Eastern Railway attained its maximum speed of fifty-four miles an hour. 56: Even less comm...

  Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday which is hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl .  This week's topic is an Indie Freebie, so I've decided to feature ten self published books I want to read.  Without further ado, here we go in alphabetical order by title: Empire of Shadows ( Raiders of the Arcana #1) by Jacquelyn Benson - This sounds like a lot of fun and it's been compared to The Mummy (1999) which is an all-time favorite movie, so this could be perfect! Gunmetal Gods ( Gunmetal Gods #1) by Zamil Akhtar - I think this has been on my tbr for too long! The Librarian of Crooked Lane ( Glass Library #1) by C.J. Archer - Historical fantasy about a librarian?  Sign me up! Never Die ( The Mortal Techniques ) by Rob J. Hayes - I haven't read any of the other standalone books in this series, but this sounds like it has a lot of potential. Nice Dragons Finish Last ( Heartstrikers #1) by Rachel Aaron - This is has been on my tbr for nearly a decade now...
