On Friday's I take part in three weekly link ups - The Friday 56, hosted by  Freda's Voice , Book Beginnings, hosted by  Rose City Reader , and 50/50 Friday is a new weekly link up and it is hosted by  Carrie @ The Butterfly Reader  and  Laura @ Blue Eye Books . For The Friday 56, you choose a book, a book you have just finished, a book you are about to start, your current read, and share a line or a few lines that grab you (but don't spoil anything) from page 56 or 56% of the way through the ebook. Post it and share your post's url on Freda's most recent Friday 56 post. As for Book Beginnings, you share the first sentence or so and your initial thoughts, impressions, or whatever else it inspires, and then link up your post's url with Rose City Reader. Then, for 50/50 Friday, every week there's a new topic featuring two sides of the same coin - you share a book that suits each category and link up on the hosts blogs. Happy Friday everyone!...

  ❋  ❋  ❋   ❋  ❋ I received an ecopy from Reedsy Discovery in exchange from an honest review. Book publisher Mitotic Press takes novels from one Earth and publishes them on a parallel Earth, thanks to a portal in a basement conference room. They're book thieves, with a pretty sweet (and very secret) business--until someone anonymously threatens to reveal Mitotic's portal to both Earths. Matilda Garrigan quit her dream job at Mitotic Press after she was too late returning from a business trip on the other Earth to prevent her girlfriend's death. Mattie's good at running away from her problems, and she's certainly no detective, but when Mitotic comes calling for help, she reluctantly channels her inner Nancy Drew to find out who's behind the threat. Mattie's investigation leads nowhere--and, predictably, she gives up--but when more clues are found and bodies start piling up, Mattie realizes that the mastermind has to be her girlfriend except she's already ...

Happy Wednesday everyone!  Today I'm sharing my tbr for the upcoming Stranger Things Readathon  which is hosted by @lamourdebooks , @readingwthabaws , @peyton_reads , @blondeboooks , @brittany_books , @lisamariereads .  It lasts the entire month of September and I've decided to join the Scoops Troop team.  This sounds like it's going to be so much fun!  Check out my tbr below: 1. Dustin: Read A Sci-Fi Book My choice: Stranger in a Strange Land by Robert A. Heinlein  - I've had this sci-fi classic on my tbr for ages and this seems like the perfect time to give it a try. 2. Erica: Read A Middle Grade Book My choice: The Shadow Cipher ( York #1) by Laura Ruby - I don't know about you, but this sounds like a really fun fantasy mystery MG series opener. 3. Robin: Read A Book Ft. A F/F Relationship My choice: Of Fire and Stars ( Of Fire and Stars #1) by Audrey Coulthurst  - I've seen a lot of mixed reviews for this one, but I'd like to give this YA fantasy ...

  ❋  ❋  ❋  ❋ I received an ecopy from Reedsy Discovery in exchange from an honest review. Washington, 1958 - Intrepid newshound Allan Jones is chasing the scoop of his life: a political assassination plot by a sinister cabal known as JANUS. Unable to trust the authorities, Jones and his colleagues at The Washington Street have mere days to unravel JANUS's secrets. Enter The Whisper, a mysterious vigilante who saves Jones's life before throwing him further into danger. Using futuristic devices to walk through walls and turn invisible, the Whisper can go anywhere and inform on anyone. Nevertheless, Jones never knows when he can count on the Whisper's assistance, or whose side the Whisper is on. As the clock runs out, Jones finds himself homeless, penniless, and on the run from the police, the NSA, and the FBI. While JANUS and the Whisper do battle using impossible weapons of tomorrow, Jones must somehow uncover a conspiracy, prevent a murder, and survive long enough ...

Today I'm sharing two mini reviews with you: Ink & Sigil ( Ink & Sigil #1) by Kevin Hearne (available August 25, 2020) and  Fable ( Fable #1) by Adrienne Young  (available September 1, 2020)  I received these ARCs from NetGalley in exchange for honest reviews.  Read on to see my thoughts on them: ❋   ❋  ❋   ❋ Ink & Sigil ( Ink & Sigil #1) by Kevin Hearne was one of my most anticipated books of August and I'm so lucky to have received an ARC via NetGalley. Luckily, it mostly lived up to my sky high expectations. This series is a spin off of The Iron Druid Chronicles which is one of my all time favorites. It's set in the same world as that series and I enjoyed seeing more of the wider world and how our new cast and this series opener connect into it. It's just as funny as that series which is another aspect I was looking forward to as well. I seriously laughed out loud a few times at some of the things Al had to say, or his thoug...

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Welcome to the Top Ten Tuesday now hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl .  This week's topic is Books that Should be Adapted into Netflix Shows/Movies.  There are so many I'd like to see, but these are at the top of my list.  Here we go, in alphabetical order by title: The Diviners ( The Diviners #1) by Libba Bray - I may just die of excitement if this were to ever happen. The Epic Crush of Genie Lo ( The Epic Crush of Genie Lo #1) by F.C. Yee - Whether it was adapted into a Netflix movie or tv series, I am 100% sure that it would live up to the epic of the title. The Girl With Ghost Eyes ( The Daoshi Chronicles #1) by M.H. Bronson - I would happily follow Li-lin's adventures in any medium. The Calculating Stars ( Lady Astronaut #1) by Mary Robinette Kowal -  I don't know about you, but I would watch the heck out of this alternate history sci-fi novel.  Please, Netflix! The Lady From the ...
