Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

I don’t know about you, but I’m an ambitious reader. There are so many more enticing books out there than there are hours in the day to read them.

Here are 10 titles published last year I honestly did mean to read in 2018. Maybe I’ll have more luck getting around to them this year? Since I strictly avoid spoilers for fiction and non-fiction works alike, I won’t be saying anything about them like I normally do in my Top Ten Tuesday posts. All I know is that their blurbs sound interesting and I really do want to read them soon.

Top Ten Tuesday: New-to-Me Authors I Read in 2018

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday!  This week is all about authors I read for the first time in 2018.  Since I never manage to stay on top of new releases, some of the authors on my list will probably not be new to you.  However, one of the great things about reviewing for Long and Short Reviews is the opportunity to read some great books from independent authors/publishers who deserve more recognition!

Marty Ambrose-I really enjoyed her historical mystery, Claire’s Last Secret.

Jordan Elizabeth-Her Gothic mystery, Secrets of Bennett Hall is definitely worth checking out!

Grace Lin-I had a wonderful time reading Where the Mountain Meets the Moon with my children.

Christine Grabowski-I really enjoyed the premise of her young adult novel Dickensen Academy.

Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, Jodi Meadows-I absolutely loved My Lady Jane!

Top Ten Tuesday: Most Anticipated Releases for the First Half of 2019

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

I love the feeling of anticipation, so I was just excited for this week’s topic as I was last month when I blogged about my Winter 2018 TBR.

There’s no such thing to me as having too many books to look forward to. The longer the list is, the better! All of the titles I’ll be talking about today will be published at some point between January and June.

1. Here and Now and Then by Mike Chen

Release Date: January 29

Two words: time travel. As soon as I see that phrase, I automatically want to add that story to my TBR. The fact that the main character is from the future and only visiting our timeline only makes it all more exciting.

2. The City in the Middle of the Night by Charlie Jane Anders

Release Date: February 12

Tor Books has published so many amazing tales over the years that my ears automatically perk up whenever I see them listed as the publisher for something new. The thought of living on a planet that was half covered in permanent daylight and half covered in permanent darkness tickles my imagination, too.

3. Dear George, Dear Mary: A Novel of George Washington’s First Love by Mary Calvi

Release Date: February 19

This is based on a real-life romance. Isn’t it fascinating to think that enough details about that relationship were preserved for someone to write a fictional account of it hundreds of years later?

4. Warrior of the Wild by Tricia Levenseller

Release Date: February 26

I love stories about girls and women saving the day. There can never be enough of them, especially in in medieval-like settings!

5. Internment by Samira Ahmed

Release Date: March 19

However, muscle fibrous connective tissue which surrounds with viagra vs cialis prostate stretches to the inner direction of prostate when swelling appears, so prostate is prone to be infected and face with prostatic hyperplasia. 2. The district also encourages managers to visit each other’s buildings to observe specific practices or simply online buy viagra do informal “buddying” on selected issues. He tadalafil soft tabs check over here asked them to choose one of 5 activities that are known to correlate with positive change. Probable side effects take account of flushing, nasal congestion, headache, illustration mastercard viagra changes, back pain and abdomen disconcert. This seems like it’s going to be such a good read. I’ve been reading a lot about the internment and concentration camps in World War II lately, so it will be interesting to see how those true events may have influenced the fictional ones in this storyline.

6. Every Moment After by Joseph Moldover 

Release Date: April 9

When I was in high school, one of my classmates planned a school shooting that was discovered ahead of time and thwarted by some quick-thinking adults. Luckily, no one was injured, but it still took me a while to become comfortable reading about school shootings due to this. I’ll be curious to see how this character and his friends react to such a scary event.

7. I Know Who You Are by Alice Feeney

Release Date: April 23

Wow, this mystery sounds spellbinding. It’s hard to imagine anyone leaving the house without taking their wallet and cellphone with them in this day and age.

8. The Bride Test by Helen Hoang

Release Date: May 7

Arranged marriages weren’t part of the culture I grew up in, so I’m looking forward to seeing one example of how this process works. If anyone reading this is from a culture that does arranged marriages, I’d sure like to hear your thoughts on this tale.

9. Middlegame by Seanan MGuire

Release Date: May 7

The blurb mentioned something about the main characters being more than human but less than gods. I’m not quite sure what that means, but I’m quite interested in finding out.

10. Summer Hours by Amy Mason Doan

Release Date: June 4

I don’t read many romance novels, but this one grabbed my attention because of the main character’s regrets over how terribly an old relationship ended for her. It must be pretty difficult to walk into a room full of people who all know about your worst mistake in life. I already have sympathy for her.

What are you looking forward to reading in the first half of 2018?

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Top Ten Tuesday: Books I’d like for Christmas

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Welcome to another edition of Top Ten Tuesday!  This week is all about books I’d like for Christmas.  As fellow book lovers, I’m sure we can all agree that books make wonderful presents!  Here are some I’d love to see under my tree this year.

The Last Kingdom (The Saxon Stories #1) by Bernard Cornwell-I’ve been watching this show on Netflix and I love it!  In my experience books are usually better than the movie or show.  I’d love to start reading this series.

68527

Hunting Prince Dracula (Stalking Jack the Ripper #2) by Kerri Maniscalco-I really enjoyed Stalking Jack the Ripper and need to read more in this series!

33784373

Escaping Houdini (Stalking Jack the Ripper #3) by Kerri Maniscalco-See above.

30375937

Top Ten Tuesday: Winter 2018 TBR

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

My TBR list has been exploding with exciting new titles to add to it recently. This winter is shaping up to be an excellent time for whittling that list down to something more manageable again. Today I wanted to share some of the titles I’m looking forward to reading the most between now and the end of winter as they’re released.

1. Ghost Wall by Sarah Moss

Release Date: January 8

The characters in this book will be doing something I’ve been curious about for many years: purposefully living the same way people did back in the Paleolithic era, stone tools and all. That was more than enough of a lure to convince me to grab this as soon as it becomes available.

2. Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee

Release Date: January 15

It’s so interesting to think about the logistics of hiding something like the ability to shape-shift. I’d never want to use this ability at all because of how easy it would be for a passing neighbor to peek onto my property at the wrong time and realize that I wasn’t as ordinary as I seemed.

3. Talk to Me by John Kenney 

Release Date: January 15

Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. The main character of this tale made a series of minor  mistakes over many years that eventually caused serious and possibly permanent damage to his relationships with his wife and children. Then he made a huge error that cost him his job. The thought of someone starting over with nothing so late in life piques my interest.

4. No One Here Is Lonely by Sarah Everett

Release Date: January 22

Grief is one of those experiences that all humans eventually share but is also hard to describe to someone who hasn’t been through it yet. I’m intrigued by the thought of still being able to communicate with a virtual version of a loved one. It’s not clear to me whether that would make it easier or more difficult to say goodbye to them, but I’m curious to find out.

5. The Love & Lies of Rukhsana Ali by Sabina Khan

Release Date: January 29

I definitely don’t condone lying in general, but I am looking forward to getting to know the main character of this tale better. The blurb talked about why she felt the need to hide her true self from her family, and the reasons it gave were pretty understandable. I’d like to know more about her culture and find out whether she’ll ever be able to be honest with her parents.

6. On the Come Up by Angie Thomas

Release Date: February 5

I feel like I’ve been waiting for this book to be released for a decade. Given how much audiences loved The Hate U Give, her first novel, I think this is going to be a great read and a smashing success for Ms. Thomas.

7. The Fever King by Victoria Lee

Release Date: March 1

The thought of magic being spread virally makes this something I’m quite curious to check out. I’d never heard of something like that before, but it sure would change the way people thought about magic and what it means to be able to do it. Will these characters think of magic as a disease or a blessing?

8. Gingerbread by Helen Oyeyemi

tadalafil 5mg no prescription In normal language it is the inability to maintain an erection* Diminished short erections Treatment for ED Treat your ED problem anymore and treat it with Kamagra today. The Left Sided heart failure is due to appalachianmagazine.com order viagra implantation dysfunction. Dealing with Severe Erection Problems in Males To be frank, wholesale prices viagra the medicine had fabulous reactions once I consumed it. The condition is diagnosed soft cialis after a couple has had a longstanding relationship with herbal supplements and formulations and has been used in traditional medicine for a long time.
Release Date: March 5

This is a modern-day retelling of Hansel & Gretel. As soon as I read that part of the blurb, I knew it was a must-read for me. There can never be too many retellings of classic fairy tales if you ask me.

9. Instructions for a Funeral: Stories by David Means

Release Date: March 5

Short story collections grab my attention easily in general. This specific anthology looks like it’s going to touch on some particularly poignant themes about mental illness, family, and grief.

10. The Weight of the Stars by K. Ancrum

Release Date: March 15

Not only is this about one of my favourite branches of science, astronomy, but it looks like it might be about someone’s first love as well. I always enjoy seeing how characters react to this sort of experience.

What are you looking forward to reading this winter?

Top Ten Tuesday: Winter Solstice Reads

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

The Winter Solstice is the holiday I observe at this time of the year. I believe there’s something to be said for acknowledging the changing of the seasons and celebrating when the days finally begin to grow a little longer again in December.

From a purely scientific point of view, there’s something fascinating to me about how much the weather shifts from one season to the next. Studying science is a hobby of mine, and I love absorbing as much information as I can about everything from astronomy to zoology.

I also enjoy learning about how various cultures explained and prepared for the changing of the seasons back before humans understood why the western hemisphere has so many more hours of daylight in the summer than we do in the winter. Some of the titles on this list will reflect that curiosity.

Since I’m still hunting down copies of some of these books, I won’t say anything specific about them today. I am really looking forward to reading all of them, though! This is one of those topics that can be approached from so many perspectives that I could read about it for ages and still find new takes on it.

1)  Grandmother Winter by Phillis Root

2) The Shortest Day: Celebrating the Winter Solstice by Wendy Pfeffer

3) Yule: Rituals, Recipes, & Lore for the Winter by Susan Pesznecker

4) Fireside Stories: Tales for a Winter’s Eve by Caitlin Matthews

Top Ten Tuesday: Wintry Reads

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Can you believe it’s December already? I feel like last winter just ended, and now here I am about to begin another one.

There’s something about this time of year that makes me want to return to books I’ve reread many times before. The weather in the part of the world where I live grows pretty cold in November and generally doesn’t warm up again until April.

We’ll soon be getting into snowstorm season, too, which makes spending a lot of time outdoors even less appealing to me. These long, dark months are perfect for reading, though!

I love the feeling of beginning that first chapter of an old favorite when you know everything that’s about to happen to a beloved character. It feels sort of like having a cup of coffee with an old friend in real life and catching up on all of the wonderful things have happened to them since you last spent time together.

This list is going to be filled with nothing but the classics, many of which are taught in school. Due to that, I won’t be going into detail about my choices like I normally do. I strongly suspect that everyone who finds this post has already read, or at the very least heard of, everything on my list.

1. The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe by C.S. Lewis.

2. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott.

3. The Gift of the Magi by O. Henry.
In simple terms, erectile dysfunction is defined as an inability to get erection hard enough for satisfactory sexual http://www.solboards.com/levitra-3939.html levitra from india performance.

5. The Long Winter by Laura Ingalls Wilder.

6. My Ántonia by Willa Cather.

7. Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë.

8. The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien.

9. The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle.

10. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens.

What do you like to read when the weather outside is frightful? If you live in a warm climate, I am a little envious of you right now and hope you’re enjoying all of that nice, sunny weather.

Top Ten Tuesday: Friendships in Books

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Not all of the characters in this post are human, but all of them are excellent examples of how meaningful friendships can be throughout someone’s life.

I asked a few of the other bloggers here for help coming up with ideas this week since the topic was a bit of a tricky one. Thank you to Cholla and Marianne for your assistance. It was greatly appreciated.

1. JD Robb’s “In Death” series.

Dallas has a few really amazing friends (Mavis, Peabody, etc) who really serve to balance and support her and the stories.  One of the reasons I follow the series is for the interpersonal relationships the author has created.  – Marianne

2. James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club series

There are also a lot of police procedurals with that kind of relationship as well.  Lindsay Boxer the ME, Claire, from James Patterson’s Women’s Murder Club series – Cholla

3. Mitch Albom’s Tuesdays with Morrie

The friendship between Morrie and Mitch was a beautiful thing. They only had a few short months together to reconnect after losing touch for many years, but in that time they made a lifetime’s worth of memories. I also like the idea of learning from the wisdom of older generations. Some senior citizens have a lot of fantastic advice to pass down to younger people.

4. Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty

This is one of those stories that has somehow only grown better over time, and it’s not something that will only appeal to kids. Anyone who cares about animal welfare or horses should read it. Black Beauty went through a lot of difficult experiences as a young horse, but his relationships with the kind humans he met made a permanent difference in his life.

5. Judy Blume’s Summer Sisters

I’m in awe of people who still maintain close relationships with their childhood friends long into adulthood. Two people might have a lot in common when they’re six or ten, but it sure seems to be rare for them to share the same interests and values decades later.

Also there are certain canada viagra prescription cardiovascular symptoms such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, arteriosclerosis cause erectile dysfunction. It is common in males, who are away from their female partner with the fear of not being able to get pregnant, regardless of having frequent unprotected intercourse for at least six months or one year as lowest price on levitra unica-web.com per female age. On the cheap cialis prices other hand, your lady may cherish all of you the more to make her ORGASM, she is probably going to stop wanting sex sooner or later. It also contains a affluence of vitamins, minerals sildenafil australia and antioxidants all depend on it. Vix and Caitlin were two of those best friends who grew apart as adults. The story of how they attempted to become closer again kept me reading until the final scene.

6. W. Bruce Cameron’s A Dog’s Purpose

Fair warning: this one’s a tearjerker. The main character was a smart, if also a little goofy, dog who was attempting to understand human culture and protect the man he loved. There were so many scenes that made me laugh until I cried, and even more than simply brought a tear to my eye for sentimental reasons.

7. Alexandre Dumas’ The Three Musketeers

What better way is there to spend time with friends than to run around having adventures? If such a thing exists, I can’t imagine what it would be.

8. N.H. Kleinbaum’s Dead Poets Society

When I was first exposed to this story, I was envious of people who came from very wealthy families. I was young enough then that I couldn’t imagine how growing up with all of that wealth and prestige could possible have a negative side, so it came as a surprise to me to meet characters whose parents were so busy making money that they didn’t bother to get to know their children at all.

Honestly, some of these characters had no one in the world to rely on other than the friends they made at boarding school. That was eye-opening, and it made for a compelling plot once one of the friends became dangerously depressed.

9. King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

Oh, how I wish we knew the names of the people who came up with this legend !  It’s a story I’ve loved since the very first time I heard it. The friendships between King Arthur and all of the knights who served him were filled with so many different emotions: loyalty, betrayal, joy, and pain. Their relationships felt so real to me that I like to imagine something similar to the original plot really did happen at various times and places in history.

10. Bill Watterson’s The Complete Calvin and Hobbes

Raise your hand if you loved reading this comic strip! I was so disappointed when it ended. The relationship between Calvin and his stuff tiger was complex, sometimes hysterically funny, and always touching.

I still hope that we’ll get an update on these characters’ lives someday. It would be nice to think that Calvin and Hobbes still go on adventures sometimes.

Top Ten Tuesday: Thanksgiving Cookbooks

Hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl

Lately I’ve been thinking about all of the work that goes into creating a delicious Thanksgiving feast. Cooking is a skill, especially when it comes to making multiple dishes using ingredients that might not be so commonly used the rest of the year by the average person.

I was lucky enough to grow up in a family that taught basic cooking skills, but not everyone has this advantage in life. Thank goodness for cookbooks and recipes written by more experienced cooks that can fill in the gaps there for anyone who wants to make the perfect Thanksgiving meal.

Today I’m sharing ten such cookbooks. If you know of any others that are also a good resource, let us know in the common section below.

1. The Sioux Chef’s Indigenous Kitchen by Sean Sherman and Beth Dooley.

Look at just a few of the recipes included in this collection: cedar braised bison, griddled wild rice cakes, amaranth crackers with smoked white bean paste, three sisters salad, deviled duck eggs, smoked turkey soup, dried meats, roasted corn sorbet, and hazelnut–maple bites.

My mouth is watering already. They all sound amazing.

2. Vegetarian Times Complete Thanksgiving Cookbook by the Editors of Vegetarian Times .

I enjoy the challenge of creating a delicious and filling holiday meal that can be eaten by a group of people who sometimes have wildly different dietary needs. This includes friends and relatives who don’t eat meat. With a few tweaks, anyone can eat their fill at my dinner table. I’m proud of that fact.

3. Betty Crocker Complete Thanksgiving Cookbook: All You Need to Cook a Foolproof Dinner by the Editors of Betty Crocker . 

This would be an excellent place to start for anyone who has never cooked Thanksgiving dinner before.

4. Taste of Autumn Cookbook by Gooseberry Patch.

There is a recipe in this book for herb roasted turkey that I can’t wait to try. This is also something I’d use to test out recipes ahead of time to see if I liked them enough to include them in the official Thanksgiving lineup.

5. Where People Feast: An Indigenous People’s Cookbook by Dolly Watts and Annie Watts.

Seafood isn’t something I’ve had at any holiday dinner, but the recipes for it in this cookbook sound incredible. I might have to replace the traditional turkey with fish or mussels one day.

This plant low cost viagra is regarded as a safe way to increase muscle mass and as an adaptogen-rich drink, it can be just what’s needed to best support memory, focus, attention, athletic performance, and healthy aging. Other than that, there is no risk involved and cialis prescription online icks.org it can actually benefit your health in addition to adding flavor to your meals. This rehabilitation process restores a sense of self-worth and ability to viagra generic sale tackle life. Hence, it has been the most popular in this globe to cure men’s erection problem. viagra in großbritannien

6. Southern Holiday Feast: Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, Easter & More! by S.L. Watson.

Southern food is delicious at any time of the year, so of course I’d want to see what they come up with on special occasions, too.

7. Diabetic Holiday Recipes by Publications International.

Once again, I love the idea of making small changes to the traditional spread in order to make sure that everyone will be able to enjoy it.

8. Make It Ahead: A Barefoot Contessa Cookbook by Ina Garten.

My kitchen has a limited amount of counter space, no dishwasher, and a small oven, so I make as much food ahead of time as possible during special occassions. It is so much easier to spread the cooking out over a couple of days as opposed to finding the room to make everything at once and washing a small mountain of dishes afterwards.

9. Pies and Tarts: for All Seasons by Annie Rigg and Nassima Rothacker.

There is never such a thing as too much pie. The nice thing about this dessert is that it generally keeps well if you’re too full to have a slice immediately after the main meal. Of course, my stomach always thinks it has enough room left for pie no matter what else I’ve eaten.

10. Edible Wild Plants: A Naturalist’s Look at the Wild Food Plants of North America by Oliver Perry Medsger. 

As you might have already guessed, I enjoy eating locally grown food when possible. I don’t know enough about safely identifying wild plants to eat them on other than rare occasions, but I am fascinated by the idea of wandering into the woods to gather one’s dinner.

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our American readers from everyone here at Long and Short Reviews!
