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: Far From You by Lisa Schroeder

Title: Far From You Author: Lisa Schroeder Publisher: Simon & Schuster Children's Publication Date: December 23, 2008 Links: Amazon | Goodreads Source: Won Lost and alone...Down the rabbit hole. Alice thought she knew what solitude was: Her mother—gone. Her father—remarried with a newborn daughter. Now... Trapped in the icy embrace of a deadly snowstorm, Alice faces the true meaning of loneliness. But hope may not be as far away as she thinks.... Alice is an interesting character. She desperately clings to her memories of her mother as her newborn half-sister provides physical evidence that her father has moved on with his life. Alice says and does things that are selfish, angsty, and bratty. But she knows how she is acting. She realizes it is perhaps not the best reaction, but that she also has the right to be a bit immature about it, especially since her best friend is growing tiresome of Alice's mourning mood. At least Alice has her boyfriend. Their relationship i...
