I get to be part of a reading with these three lovely authors at #outwrite2017! I'm so excited, and their books are high on my TBR, so I've read them before the festival. 😍

What books are y'all excited for this weekend?

This book was so fun. I picked it because I wanted something light and different, something to redeem the only other erotica I've ever read (that was 50 Shades, ugh), and it did not disappoint. I loved, loved, LOVED it. Would recommend. Especially if you like smut and fat-positivity and New Orleans. ❤

Happy #toptentuesday! This week (since we're on hiatus), I decided to flash way back to the topic Books I Can't Believe I Haven't Read Yet. Most of these are pretty new, but I still can't believe i haven't read them yet. Soon soon soon!

Did I know that I needed a YA contemporary about a camp for social justice warriors? No, BUT I DID. This was so funny, and so real, and I flew through it. Plus Gregor is half Mexican but looks white (like me!) and I had never truly seen myself in a book before. I read an ARC that I got at BookCon, but I'm definitely going to go buy a copy of this beauty. ❤

Happy #toptentuesday! Even though we're on a break until August, I'm going to get back to my regular posts - get ready for a bunch of reviews, coming up! For now, here are my 10 favorite books that I've read so far in 2017. What do you think of my picks?

EchoLogical At first glance I assumed that you were my bookish twin until I peeped the so-so you gave Three Dark Crowns. How?! Lol. I'm obsessed with that book. 😵 7y
amandareadsandwrites @EchoLogical haha! I thought the middle was slow, but I should go back and update that rating - the more I think about it, the more I realize how clever the whole thing is. And I already preordered the sequel! 7y
EchoLogical @amandamariegh It was really slow but I think the end made up for it. I'm so excited for the next book. I just entered a contest for it but I'm sure I didn't win because I never win those things. Lol. Do you have a favorite queen? 7y

amandareadsandwrites @EchoLogical Arsinoe! I think because I loved Jules so much, and loved the concept of that power so much. But now! She's actually a poisoner! I can't wait to see what happens. And Katharine! Maybe I can't choose, haha. Who is your favorite? 7y
EchoLogical @amandamariegh Jules does seem pretty awesome, so much so that I wondered if she was the actual queen.🤔 My favorite is Katherine though. I just can't resist an underdog. I'm hope she gets her revenge, especially against Petyr. 7y
amandareadsandwrites @EchoLogical I totally understand about underdogs. I want Katharine to get her revenge too! So badly! 7y
missevievelyn All those spoiler-tagged comments made me super curious haha! I've heard mixed things about Three Dark Crowns but now I want to give it a try! 7y
amandareadsandwrites @missevievelyn you should! It was definitely worth the read if you like YA fantasy. ❤ 7y

This book felt very authentic, and I flew through it in about two days. I loved how complex both Bianca and Wesley were, and I really loved the take on sexuality in high school. However, I found some of the language to be problematic - it's clearly a product of its time. All in all, I enjoyed it! Would recommend to an older YA reader.

I'm doing a #giveaway over on my Twitter! I loved ONCE AND FOR ALL, even though it gave me all the feels and made me cry. I want to share the love!

Happy #fridayreads, everyone! After the epicness of SHADOW AND BONE, I'm taking a little break to read some YA contemporary before going back to Grisha-land. But let's me honest... I'll probably end up reading both simultaneously. 🙈

What are you reading this weekend?

Shadow and Bone | Leigh Bardugo

Pickpick

This book impressed me a lot! I've been saying how tired I am of the "special girl" trope and plotline, but Leigh Bardugo made it fresh. There was a love triangle, but it wasn't the focus. There were powers, but the world was so flushed out that everything made sense. I'm taking a short break by throwing in a bit of contemporary fiction, but then I'm definitely diving into the rest of this trilogy!
