What are you reading this weekend? Let me know in the comments.

From the Backlist

Like every reader out there, I love new releases. However, there are so many great books on my Kindle and my unread shelf that are being neglected in favor of the books that are shiny and new. I thought it would be fun to feature some of the books that have been on my TBR for a while, and give them a little love.


Behind the Scenes

I can't believe I've never read a book by Jen Turano. I have several on my Kindle, but I think I will probably start with this one. It's the first book in her current series. Have you read any of Jen Turano's books? Let me know in the comments.

Can't Wait for The Christmas Heirloom

I'm linking up with Wishful Endings to share an upcoming release I'm excited about.

What I'm waiting for:

The Christmas Heirloom

When does it release? October 2, 2018

Why am I waiting? I don't usually read novellas, but this one looks really interesting. I like the idea of connecting the stories with a brooch that's passed down. I also have missed Sarah Loudin Thomas' writing. I'm excited to read her story, and I hope she has a full length novel coming out soon.

Top Ten Tuesday ~ Hidden Gems

I'm linking up with That Artsy Reader Girl to share this week's top ten list.

Sometimes I feel like the same books get all the attention. Maybe they are being endorsed by a celebrity, or maybe they just got a lot of ARCs out into the world. I love new books and best sellers, but I also love to find a book no one  is talking about and sing its praises. Here are a few books that are in my opinion hidden gems.

Flora

The Night the Lights Went Out

The Lost Book of the Grail

Doesn't She Look Natural

The Feathered Bone

All Right Here

The Two Family House

Excellent Women

After the Leaves Fall

The Magic of Ordinary Days
