Hi everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, which is hosted over at  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is Top Ten New Autumn TV Shows I Want To Watch. 1.  The Night Of It has taken all of my restraint to not binge all of this already, as it's just come out on Sky Atlantic, because it just looks so good. 2.  Atlanta I love Donald Glover when he's acting, and I equally love him performing as Childish Gambino, so I'm very excited about this. 3.  Luke Cage I've just finished watching Jessica Jones in the last couple of days, and I can already feel myself needing that Marvel fix pretty soon. 4.  Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life At the moment I'm on season 6 of Gilmore Girls and I cannot get enough of it so obviously I can't wait for this. 5.  Pitch I love watching films and TV shows about sports, and this has intrigued me since I first heard about it. 6.  Westworld To be honest, I don't really know

South of Sunshine by Dana Elmendorf Publisher/Year: April 1st 2016 Albert Whitman Source/Format: e-arc | NetGalley (Thanks NetGalley/Albert Whitman!) Rating: 3 stars out of 5 I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affects my opinion. I have really wanted to read more LGBTQ+ books, and this checked that box. I also do have a soft spot for books set in small southern towns, and I still don't really know why. This book made me really angry, reading about such small-mindedness that adults were showing and negatively influencing younger generations to follow in their bigoted footsteps. I think a lot of teenagers will be able to relate to this book and I am so happy it has been published.

Hi everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, which is hosted over at  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is Top Ten Books Set In School. 1.  Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead Although they're not in school all the time, when they are I love reading about it. 2.  Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling This is an obvious choice, but for a good reason. 3.  The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson I love reading about boarding schools, and this one was great. 4.  The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky This book has such a quintessential American high school in it and I LOVED reading about it. 5.  The Iron Trial by Holly Black and Cassandra Clare I really enjoyed reading about the school in this book, and all the different classes and elements. 6.  The Manifesto on How to be Interesting by Holly Bourne I could really relate to the descriptions of the school in this novel, as t's practically the same as mine. 7.

Seven Ways We Lie by Riley Redgate Publisher/Year: March 8th 2016 Amulet Books Source/Format: e-arc | NetGalley (Thanks NetGalley/Amulet Books!) Rating: 4 stars out of 5 I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affects my opinion. I really enjoyed this book, but I had my issues with it. When I read it would have 7 POV's, I was wary, and unfortunately I was right to be. It was my main problem with the book, but I just found it so hard to keep up with who was who and what their relationships were with everyone. I LOVED how diverse each of the main characters, and the amount of representation that was presented made me fall in love with Redgate. I will be looking out for her stuff in the future.

Hi everyone! Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, which is hosted over at  The Broke and The Bookish . This week's topic is Top Ten Books That Have Been On My TBR Since Before I Started Blogging. 1.  Fallen by Lauren Kate This book has been around for years, and I've had it for ages too, but just haven't gotten to it. 2.  Delirium by Lauren Oliver I've owned this for years but just haven't been in the mood for Dystopian in a while. 3.  Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor I feel like everyone loves this book and I'm a bit intimidated. 4.  Metamorphoses by Ovid I saw this in 1001 Books to Read Before You Die but have been scared of the size of it ever since. 5.  The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald This is one of those classics that I am ashamed to say I haven't read yet. 6.  Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo I am waiting to buy the sequel before binging the whole trilogy. 7.  Forsaken by Jana Oliver I

Rating: 4.5 stars out of 5 I received this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. This in no way affects my opinion. Synopsis Dill has had to wrestle with vipers his whole life—at home, as the only son of a Pentecostal minister who urges him to handle poisonous rattlesnakes, and at school, where he faces down bullies who target him for his father’s extreme faith and very public fall from grace. He and his fellow outcast friends must try to make it through their senior year of high school without letting the small-town culture destroy their creative spirits and sense of self. Graduation will lead to new beginnings for Lydia, whose edgy fashion blog is her ticket out of their rural Tennessee town. And Travis is content where he is thanks to his obsession with an epic book series and t

Rowling This one is a tiny bit of a cop-out, but it is partly set in London. 2.  Rivers of London by Ben Aaronovitch This book is such a good mix of two things I love reading about: magic and police. 3.  Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte Jane Eyre is one of my favourite classics, and the countryside setting is a big side to it. 4.  Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare Victorian London is quite possibly my favourite time setting in a book. 5.  The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon I really should re-read this soon. 6.  The Name of the Star by Maureen Johnson I've actually just finished re-reading this because I really enjoyed it. 7.  One Day by David Nicholls I absolutely loved this book when I read it
