Some websites to check out.

I generally spend a lot of time on book websites and thought I would share some of them here with you.  If there is a cool one I've missed, please comment below.

 The one I spend the most time on is Goodreads.  I think it's probably the best site out there for finding books, tracking your reading, making goals, and writing reviews. They also have a ton of book giveaways every day.  This is the link to my profile. Definitely send me a friend request there if you have an account. https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/23975663-kristi

 Netgalley is a site I joined a year and a half ago and have already received over 100 digital copies of books from them.  You do have to review books to get more approved.

 Edelweiss is one I just joined to request arcs from.  I haven't been approved yet and I believe most publishers want you to have an active blog.

 Epic Reads always has fun content.  You can join their insiders and take surveys and earn free books.

 YABC has a lot of giveaways and author posts.  They also do a lot of cover reveals.

 First to Read is great, but they don't have books that are kindle format.  I believe nook is supported though.

 Underlined is another site that has giveaways and other content.

I will do another blog post in the future with links to different online book stores that I've purchased from.  I'll also include monthly book clubs I've tried out.

Thank you for checking out my new blog!

Just a welcome post to start this blog.  First, thank you for reading and I hope you will subscribe.  My name is Kristi.  I'm a wife, mom, and grandma who loves to read.  I've been reviewing books for netgalley, a couple publishers,  and a couple authors for awhile now and probably should have started a blog years ago.  I usually review on goodreads and amazon, but wanted to find a place to share even more. I will be sharing reviews of books I've read, lists, giveaways I find that look cool, pictures and other random things.  My goal is to post at least 2-3 times per week.  I'll try to add some older reviews here for now to get the page more active.  My goodreads link is https://www.goodreads.com/user/show/23975663-kristi .  Please feel free to follow me there or add me as a friend.

Review of The Stolen Marriage by Diane Chamberlain (digital arc copy)

Image
The Stolen Marriage is the third book I've read by Diane Chamberlain.  While historical fiction really isn't my favorite thing to read, I always find myself pulled into Ms. Chamberlain's storytelling.   It is very obvious that she does a lot of research to make the time period as accurate as she can.   This is the story of a young woman named Tess.  She is studying to be a nurse and is engaged to her boyfriend, Vincent, who is a doctor.  Vincent leaves Baltimore to help out with some polio cases in Chicago and is gone much longer than planned.  Tess is getting upset, but is doing her best to be supportive.  While Vincent is gone, Tess and her friend, Gina, visit Washington DC.  While on that visit, Tess has too much to drink and sleeps with a business man, Henry.  She is upset with herself, but was hoping to go back home and pretend it never happened.  But Tess finds out she is pregnant.   Tess decides to just leave Vi...

My most anticipated YA releases for July 2017.

Image
These are the books I'm most looking forward to reading that come out in July 2017.  They are in order by release date.  Words on Bathroom Walls by Julie Walton (July 4) Adam has just been diagnosed with schizophrenia. He sees and hears people who aren’t there: Rebecca, a beautiful girl who understands him; the Mob Boss, who harasses him; and Jason, the naked guy who’s unfailingly polite. It should be easy to separate the real from the not real, but Adam can't. Still, there’s hope. As Adam starts fresh at a new school, he begins a drug trial that helps him ignore his visions. Suddenly everything seems possible, even love. When he meets Maya, a fiercely intelligent girl, he desperately wants to be the great guy that she thinks he is. But then the miracle drug begins to fail, and Adam will do anything to keep Maya from discovering his secret. I See London, I See France by Sarah Mylnowski (July 11) Nineteen-year-old Sydney has the perfect summer mapped out. She’s spen...
