These are the current books I can't wait to read, but it is by no means a full or complete list. Thanks to those of you who gave suggestions!!

Okay, I cheated a bit on #1, but in my defense, they go together. Also, Fredrik Backman is one of the greatest writers I've had the privilege to read. I HIGHLY recommend him!!
As you can see, my reading tastes are varied and eclectic, but I'm always up for a new read. Feel free to take a glance at my "Read" list on Goodreads to find more books to add to your own list! If you have any more suggestions for me, please feel free to share! 



THE BATTLE Blurb: 
A world war isn't meant to stop true love.  
A dangerous mystery might destroy lives and take the war to a whole new, devastating level. 
A fairytale love could die on the battlefield. 
The Battle isn't your typical Historical WWII story. Zeke and Cody aren't your average couple. Their lives depend on every word you read as their story unravels.  




Until then, as always, Keep Reading!!

It's All Going Downhill From Here: Spy School Goes South by Stuart Gibbs

Another one? Yes. I know what you're thinking. Becky, you just wrote about this dude last week. You reviewed his The Last Musketeer book. Did you seriously just read another one of his books? I did. Indeed, I did. Last week, I told you, I can't help but enjoy Stuart Gibb's light-hearted books . His characters and stories are fun and fast reads. They have a little of something for everyone, and for a few minutes, you totally forget that they're about thirteen-year-olds and geared toward that age range. Why? Because the mysteries are engaging. The characters are silly. The plots are clean, and it's nice to read something for fun without being drowned in anything too serious or upsetting. His characters are sweet. The plots are enjoyable and easy to get through. It's peaceful reading at its finest, and family fun for all. You always know the mystery will be solved, the characters will make it out alive, and it takes me back to my own childhood and my love of

My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George

As you may have noticed, I'm a fan of reading a plethora of genres. Throughout this willingness to take on new reading experiences, I find myself drawn to books that others share with me as well. When a friend mentions a book that he or she has loved, especially from their childhood, I find myself wanting to read the book. This is such a case as the one with My Side of the Mountain by Jean Craighead George . When I was told that this book represented a large part of my friend's childhood, I was intrigued. I wondered how this book, read repeatedly throughout the years, could have impacted my new friend. Curiosity led me to pick up my own copy and find out more about this novel starring a young boy who wanted to live off in the country all by himself.   Jean Craighead George passed away in 2012, and up until the end, she did what she loved doing best: writing books. She finished her last novel about four days before she died. That book, The Cougar of Flat Creek , as we
