TELL ME TUESDAY #82

TELL ME TUESDAY is a floating feature, depending on your reading style, where you tell us what you read last, what you are reading now, and why, and what you will be reading in the future from your tbr pile, and why. I am oh so curious why people read what they read. So tell me!



Joining us this week...
Shannon from REX ROBOT REVIEWS
Go have a peek at their new grabs and tell them yours!

LAST
I finished two more ARCs
GOODREADS REVIEW
Young Adult Science Fiction
3 stars
Middle Grade 
3 stars
Sad thing is they both had fresh premises and messages to impart, and could have bern stellar with a little more time and attention.
Both count towards my COYER, Rock My TBR, and NG/EW challenges.

NOW
I am only 12% in, but I am solidly liking this YA Historical Fiction about 1970s Alaska. It is a Netgalley ARC and publishes February 23rd.

I am doing a buddy read of this YA retelling of The Goose Girl fairytale with Pili from IN LOVE WITH HANDMADE. It is her first time reading it and a reread for me, so it will count towards my reread challenge. I love this author's writing style and gave it five stars on Goodreads!

NEXT
GOODREADS
This is a Middle Grade Fantasy (Magical Realism, maybe?). It is an Edelweiss ARC. It publishes February 24th. Jess, from THE READING NOOK REVIEWS, was raving about it.
What are you reading? Tell me!

  1. Thorn looks really good. I love the premise and the cover. That's too bad about Pax and Burning Midnight. It always drives me crazy when a book could've been a great read but just falls short. I'm reading a book by Robyn Carr that people have been telling me to read for ages and The Rain Sparrow by Linda Goodnight. So far I'm enjoying both but I'm not far enough in to really know for sure.

    1. The Rain Sparrow, wow, I adore that title! I wonder if it is something I would read? I will have to go and check it out on Goodreads. Yeah, I hate getting into a book and then being dropped on my head. I think is is more disappointing than the entire book being ugh sometimes.

  2. What a cool blogging feature! I can't belive that I have never heard of it before! I've also have learned of so many new books because of this on post. In fact, I've only have ever heard of Thorn and that's because I have an arc. Which honestly, I really need to get around to reading it. I can't wait to hear your thoughts about The Smell of Other People's Houses, it sounds really interesting:)

    1. I have gotten father into The Smell Of Other People's Houses and I am still liking it. And, YES, you need to read Thorn. I adore Intisar's writing style. :)

    1. Yes! I love her writing style. I really can't put my finger on the reason, but maybe the reread will help me figure that out. :)
