The Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly challenge post previously hosted by The Broke and Bookish and now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. You can follow along for each weekly post here. This week’s post is all about cover redesigns that I really liked. Now, some of these are ones where I actually liked the re-design better and some of them are just, yay, pretty new covers, and now I own way too many editions of this novel. I know there are a lot of people who don’t particularly love redesigns but I do – it gives me an excuse to buy the books again and support the author more! I will say, I hate redesigns RIGHT in the middle of a series – that drives me INSANE.
Top Ten Tuesday – Top Ten Settings I’d Like to See in Books
The Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly challenge post previously hosted by The Broke and Bookish and now hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. You can follow along for each weekly post here. This week’s post is all about the settings that I want to see more in books – either because I don’t see them or I’m just greedy and I want more!
Book Review: Emergency Contact by Mary HK Choi
When Sam and Penny cross paths it’s less meet-cute and more a collision of unbearable awkwardness. Still, they swap numbers and stay in touch—via text—and soon become digitally inseparable, sharing their deepest anxieties and secret dreams without the humiliating weirdness of having to see each other.
Music Monday {12}
Music Monday is a weekly post where you can share a song, a music video or anything musical related that you’re feeling awesome about that week. Here on What A Nerd Girl Says, I will almost always share a song that I’m super into that week and the music video, if any, that goes with it!
I feel like I really haven’t discovered any new music lately because I’m the kind of person that listens to the same music OVER and OVER again but I don’t think I’ve ever shared this song before and I super love it. I’m not a huge fan of Tyler Carter’s solo stuff outside of Issues but I super enjoy this song and have it on repeat all the time!
Book Review: Hope and Other Punch Lines by Julie Buxbaum
Abbi Hope Goldstein is like every other teenager, with a few smallish exceptions: her famous alter ego, Baby Hope, is the subject of internet memes, she has asthma, and sometimes people spontaneously burst into tears when they recognize her. Abbi has lived almost her entire life in the shadow of the terrorist attacks of September 11. On that fateful day, she was captured in what became an iconic photograph: in the picture, Abbi (aka “Baby Hope”) wears a birthday crown and grasps a red balloon; just behind her, the South Tower of the World Trade Center is collapsing.
Why Are We Not Talking About The Bold Type More?
With the third season wrapping up with a bang (seriously, that cliffhanger was super unfair, guys!) just last month in June, The Bold Type is on my mind and I can’t help but thinking about it pretty much all the time and there’s a huge question that replays again and again and again – why is this show not watched more and talked about more?
