All Books Considered

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the setting of:  Libraries and Bookstores , which I would loosely define as any book that largely takes place at a library or bookstore or involves characters that work at a library or bookstore. What could be more lovely to a book lover than a book with characters that also love books?!  I love this mix of genres with this setting -- cozy mystery, contemporary romance, UF, YA, romantic suspense, sci-fi. I know there are a ton of books that I'm missing/haven't read so please let me know! Have you ever read a boo...

Top Ten Tuesday  is hosted by the fab ladies at  The Broke and the Bookish ! What book would you love to see a movie or TV show?!

Top Ten Tuesday  is hosted by the fab ladies at  The Broke and the Bookish ! 1.  Hands down, my number one choice would be Olivia from The Opportunist by Tarryn Fisher .  Let's be honest, though, I would not mind at all if Caleb joined her! 2.    One of my latest favorite books is How to Kill a Rock Star -- although I love Eliza, I really want Loring to sit at my lunch table! 3.  Um, every single one of the  Rock Chicks   please!!!! 4.  Rosalind James' Escape to New Zealand series is my favorite contemporary romance series out there right now and there isn't a main character in any of the books that I wouldn't love to sit with although I'd probably get along with Hannah best. 5.  If anyone would be a great and patient companion, it would be  Anne Elliot . 6.  Kat and Daemon from the Lux series by JLA -- probably because there are so many epic lunch room scenes in this series...

Top Ten Tuesday  is hosted by the fab ladies at  The Broke and the Bookish ! 1.  Every single book by Elin Hilderbrand is the perfect book for your beach reading!  They are all set on Nantucket (or nearby) and usually have the most idyllic summer scenes.  My favorite of hers is The Blue Bistro .   2.     The Silver Strand series by Steph Campbell and Liz Reinhardt -- no reason necessary!! 3.  Even though the Rock Chick series is set in Denver, they are so good, so funny and you will read them so quick, which makes them perfect beach reads! 4.  Rosalind James' Escape to New Zealand series is probably my favorite contemporary romance series out there right now!   Just This Once is the first book but the entire series is great for beach reading -- all set in NZ and involving hot rugby players!! 5.  Jennifer Crusie's books are more of my favorite contemporaries and Crazy For You is a ...

Top Ten Tuesday  is hosted by the fab ladies at  The Broke and the Bookish ! 1.  I recently started the Debutante Dropout Mystery series by Susan McBride and I love it!  Sometimes there is nothing better than finding a new mystery series! 2.    For those of you that are contemporary romance fans like I am, you need to read anything and everything by Rosalind James !!  I started the Escape to New Zealand series   (um New Zealand and hot rugby players?!)  after one of my BFF gifted me the first book and I have devoured all of Ms. James' books since.  Can't wait for more!! 3.  Another new to me author this year is Kristen Ashley and I am sorry I waited even this long to start reading her books!  I am IN LOVE with the Rock Chick series -- so smart, funny and perfect -- definitely the series I laugh at loud the most while reading! 4.  I'm pretty sure everyone participating in TTT to...
