I know I am late for posting this but thank you so much to Zuky @ BookBum for tagging me in this. Go check out her blog if you haven’t yet. I find her posts really interesting. 😀
This is one of my most anticipated releases of 2017. It’s supposed to be released on May 2 but I was shocked that it arrived 10 days earlier. From where I live, it usually takes a month after the release to arrive even if I pre-order it. I don’t know why this happened but I am certainly not complaining. 😉
This young adult novel by Sheba Karim, author of Skunk Girl, is a funny and affecting coming-of-age story for fans of Jenny Han, Megan McCafferty, and Sara Farizan.
That Thing We Call a Heart is a funny and fresh story about the importance of love—in all its forms.
I added this because of an article I read on Epic Reads. I promised myself I would read more diverse books this year and this sounds like a great one.
Do you use the star system?
Yes! To me, a review is not complete without it. I lowkey wish Goodreads will finally include half stars, though.
Are you doing the 2017 reading challenge?
I am. I feel a sense of accomplishment when I reach or exceed my goal. Don’t we all?
Do you have a wishlist?
Do you mean a Goodreads shelf for my wishlist? I made one because we were asked to give a wishlist at work last Christmas. Books are all I could think of so I just made a shelf and sent the link instead. This is not everything, though. I only added a few so that the one assigned to give me a gift will not get confused. Haha. In the end, I received Me Before You and All The Bright Places.

Who are your favourite authors?
The authors I consider my favourites are those whose books I mostlyloved, if not all.
Meg Cabot
Meg Cabot was the reason I loved YA. Hers was the first books I’ve ever read in the genre. I believe some people don’t like her writing style but for me, it’s funny and easy to read. I feel like her character’s thoughts are my own and her book boyfriends are dreamy.

Nicholas Sparks
In case you don’t know, I’m a sucker for romances. I don’t know if it’s just me but there’s something special in his books and I often find myself thinking about it after I read it. I haven’t read some of his recent releases, though. I tried Safe Haven but I dropped it and I forgot why. I’m putting off starting the others because I don’t want to be disappointed.

Sophie Kinsella
I love to read Sophie Kinsella’s books when I want to laugh. I don’t know if others find her books really funny but it’s hilarious to me. Back then, I wasn’t so critical and mostly read books for enjoyment. I haven’t read her recent releases so I’m not sure if I will still think of it the same way.

I rarely post in these groups but I check it from time to time.
How many goodreads shelves do you have?
This tag cloud is a visual representation of which shelves have the most books on them.
Surprisingly, I have 42. I was quite shocked when I counted it. I didn’t have that many shelves when I first started using Goodreads but once I realized their use, they’ve been spawning like crazy. Haha. I really like organizing things in categories. I have more than 70 playlists on Spotify.
I used to love Meg Cabot too! She was also the first author to introduce me to the genre and I read so many of her books… I don’t know if I’ve grown out of them but maybe a little. They still bring a lot of memories 😊
I can’t wait for Goodreads to introduce half stars!! But it might take a while
I have recently read in someone else’s blog that they hated The Catcher in The Rye. I actually liked a lot. Can I ask you why you didn’t think it was good?
Great post! Congrats on your yearly book goal progress as well 😊

I haven’t read The Princess Diaries again but I read the eleventh book which is not YA but New Adult and I loved it. 😄

I didn’t like it because I didn’t identify with Holden which I think, is probably the reason why people like it. I think it’s not for everyone. 😄
