Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons !   Top 5 Wednesday is a Goodreads Book Club that meets weekly to answer questions presented.  Our moderators are YouTubers, Lainey (GingerReadsLainey) and Samantha (ThoughtsOnTomes). I enjoy how every week this group brings the book community together. Great fun!   This week's question asks: What are Top 5 Books from 2017 that you did not read that you want to get to in 2018 ? .   Caraval by Stephanie Garber- I was ready to pick this one up, and for some reason it got lost in my TBR stack. With the sequel, Legendary, arriving on May 29, 2018. I definitely want to get to this. Into That Bright Unknown by Rae Carson- Since I have the trilogy and have read book one, it is time to take on book two and this book, part three. I loved Walk on Earth a Stranger so much, and this should be a fitting conclusion to this wonderful historical fiction trio. Magpie Murders by Anthony Horowitz- A bookseller literally shov...

I enjoy how every week this group brings the book community together. Great fun!   This week's question asks: What are your Top 5 Reading Resolutions? I always love the turning of the year. I feel revitalized and feel that I can now begin with a clean slate. Here are my Top Five Reading Resolutions: Visit my local libraries more often- I have several libraries in my area that have a lot of great programs that I would like to attend. And I want to save money by checking out titles. Visit thrift stores for my books- Again, save money. I want to begin a weekly visit to my local thrift stores again. I fell out of that habit once the holidays began to arrive. Donate books to charity that I do not plan to read- I have a lot of book...

I enjoy how every week this group brings the book community together. Great fun!   This week's question asks: What are your Top 5 Favorite Childhood Reads?     While I was gro wing up I loved reading books. The Scholastic Book Fair that a nnually occured at my elementary school was an epic part of my life at a kid. I would always get involved with read-a-thons and always had my book reports in on time. My teachers would reward readers with small trinkets like stickers o r candy pieces, and the library was always my haunt before and after school. When my elementary school was set to be demolished I knew that I had to visit one last time while it was open before the fences went up and the cranes got to work with the w rec king ...

Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons ,   Snacking while reading is a must for me, but I want to eat things are a bit healthier. Graze Box monthly su bscription definitely filled this need .    The first box is FREE with four snacks, with another box shipping every two weeks with eight snacks each for $11.99.  The box is well packed in a recycled box with plastic cross-bands sealing the package. Upon viewing the front of the box I immediately saw the words “Turn Me Over”, so I did. When turned over I saw that the box works somewhat like a pizza box.

By getting friends to subscribe, one can receive rewards such as one dollar off your next box.    I was given four different sn...
