You Owe Me a Murder Blog Tour! Review and Q&A with Eileen Cook

Title: You Owe Me a Murder Author: Eileen Cook Release Date: March 5, 2019 Publisher: HMH Books for Young Readers Pages: 368 Source: ARC provided by Raincoast Books Add to Goodreads | Amazon.ca | Indigo Overall: 4 STARS SUMMARY   Seventeen-year-old Kim gets more than she bargained for when she is set up for murder. Perfect for fans of One of Us is Lying , E. Lockhart, and Gillian Flynn. 17-year-old Kim never expected to plot a murder. But that was before her boyfriend dumped her for another girl. Now, Kim’s stuck on a class trip to London with him and his new soulmate and she can’t help wishing he was a little bit dead, even if she’d never really do that.  But when Kim meets Nicki, a stranger on the plane who’s more than willing to listen to Kim’s woes, things start to look up. Nicki's got a great sense of humor, and when she jokes about swapping murders, Kim plays along—that is, until Kim’s ex-boyfriend mysteriously dies. Blackmailed by Nicki to fulfill her end of the deal,...

My Reading Style

TGIF is hosted by Ginger at GReads!

This week's question:

Which genre, authors, or particular books do you think people associate with your reading style?

I'm not sure what other people associate with my reading style! But I know what my reading style is, so I'll tell you that:

Favorite Genres:
  • Fantasy, particularly High Fantasy (MG, YA, and Adult)
  • YA Contemporary
  • Classics, particularly from the Romantic & Victorian periods

Favorite Authors:
  • Patrick Rothfuss
  • John Green
  • Stephanie Perkins
  • Neil Gaiman
  • Jane Austen
  • Brontë sisters

I like pretty much anything YA, but fantasy and contemps are my favorite. Secondary YA favorites would be science fiction (dystopia, steampunk, horror, space opera, whatever) and historical fiction. My favorite adult genre by far is high fantasy, but I do like some urban fantasies and the occasional mystery/thriller. As far as classics, I also have a soft spot for Mythologies, Shakespeare, and Southern American Lit. I've got a lot of favorite authors aside from the ones listed above, but I had to stop somewhere and I think those are a good representation of what I like. If you really want to delve any deeper into my literary tastes you can check out my Goodreads Shelf.

What genres/authors/books would you have associated with me? The same as what I've shared today, or is it different? I'd be interested in hearing what other people think about my reading style. And what is your style of reading?

Review: Uncommon Criminals by Ally Carter

Title: Uncommon Criminals Author: Ally Carter Publisher: Disney Hyperion Publication Date: June 21, 2011 Series: Heist Society #2 Links: Amazon | Goodreads Source: Purchased Katarina Bishop has worn a lot of labels in her short life life. Friend. Niece. Daughter. Thief. But for the last two months she’s simply been known as the girl who ran the crew that robbed the greatest museum in the world. That’s why Kat isn’t surprised when she’s asked to steal the infamous Cleopatra Emerald so it can be returned to its rightful owners. There are only three problems. First, the gem hasn’t been seen in public in thirty years. Second, since the fall of the Egyptian empire and the suicide of Cleopatra, no one who holds the emerald keeps it for long, and in Kat’s world, history almost always repeats itself. But it’s the third problem that makes Kat’s crew the most nervous and that is simply… the emerald is cursed. Kat might be in way over her head, but she’s not going down without a fight. Af...

Waiting on Wednesday: The Raincoast Books TeensRead Winter/Spring 2016 Preview Edition

Last Saturday, I was invited to attend the Raincoast Books TeensRead Preview of their upcoming Winter and Spring 2016 titles at the Toronto Reference Library. Hosted by Vanessa of Ampersand Inc. and Jenn from Lost in a Great Book in Toronto, it was my first time taking part in the preview! I've missed out participating online the past couple of years, so I was really glad I could finally join in the excitement! We watched a live stream of the event from the Vancouver Public Library, and for those bloggers who couldn't make it either location, they were invited to watch via Google Hangout. Raincoast Books also very generously provided each of us a tote bag filled with two ARCS, buttons and posters! The Raincoast Books team introduced over 30 highly anticipated YA titles to us, and here are my top picks to add to your TBR!
