This week's topic is books on my TBR which I predict will be 5 star (or in my case, 5 paw reads). Sounds easy enough but I bet it's not!
I gave the first in this series 5/5 so I have high hopes for this one.
So is it horrible that I have high hopes for this one after finding out the author is married to Owen King? Probably not the best basis for a 5/5 prediction.
I have really had great success with this author, especially when her books contain dogs and kids. Therefore, following that formula, this one should be 5/5.
I'm sure by now EVERYONE is tired of hearing how much I loved Certain Dark Things. Hope this is another 5/5 for me.
If this isn't a 5/5 read, I'll be shocked!
Another instance where I gave the first in the series 5/5 so I'm hoping for the same with the next one.
My favorite cozy series - so of course it will get 5/5 right?
Pupcakes got 5/5 and despite the dog on the cover not matching the one in the synopsis, I hope this one pans out.
PLEASE! Do I need to explain?
So I still haven't forgiven the author for killing the dog in My Best Friend's Exorcism (yep, I can hold a grudge) but he is still one of my faves. Guess that says a lot. Here's hoping this is a 5/5. I did really love We Sold Our Souls.
So there you have it. Maybe I'll revisit this post at the end of the year and see if I was right or wrong!
I recently found the cover for Wayward Pets and just sat staring at the cuteness for ages! I genuinely want that book to be as perfecta s the cover!
ReplyDeleteMy only issue is the dog on the cover doesn't match the description of the one in the book - that's either a French Bulldog or a Boston Terrier - not a bulldog. Can you tell things like that irk me??? :)
DeleteI hope you will enjoy Mexican Gothic. I read her Gods of Jade and Shadow and can't wait to read more by her in the future!
ReplyDeleteI've only read Certain Dark Things but LOVED LOVED LOVED it.
DeleteI hope these all become 5 star reads for you!
ReplyDeleteI've seen Mexican Gothic around and it looks good.
My TTT
Thanks Leslie. It does seem to be a popular book.
DeleteI also want Mexican Gothic and The Southern Book Club to be 5 star reads for me. Hope you love A Longer Fall more than I did!
ReplyDeleteI do too. Although I will admit after I read your review, I was skeptical if I would love it as much as the first.
DeleteI didn't know Charlaine Harris had a new book coming out. How cool!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT .
Yea, and the first one rocked so if you haven't picked it up, make sure you grab both!
DeleteI really need to pick up Charlaine Harris' series and read it! It sounds fabulous. I'm really looking forward to the new Victoria Speedwell book, too.
ReplyDeleteNow, the Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires sounds like a perfect read. Definitely gonna check that out.
Grady Hendrix is a lot of fun. Have you read Harris' Midnight Texas trilogy? If not, it's my fave and I definitely recommend it.
DeleteI really like Charlaine Harris's writing style so I'm hoping to enjoy this one, as well. Great list!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading :)
Megan | Ginger Mom & Company
I love her as well. Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteI hope they end up being five star reads for you.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too. Wonder how lucky I'll get - or should I say accurate.
DeleteI really want Mexican Gothic. I keep seeing it everywhere and it looks like something I would really love. I hope you enjoy all of these. Thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteI don't have an arc so I'll be waiting like everyone else. I do hope it's good.
Deletei hope they all work for you
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental
Thanks Sherry.
DeleteI'm excited for the next Kylie Logan book. (And hoping it's a 5-star read, too.)
ReplyDeleteI know. I think the series has such promise.
DeleteMEXICAN GOTHIC!!!! I hope we both enjoy this one.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I'm seeing it everywhere.
DeleteSo many great sounding books on this list! I really hope they'll all be 5 star reads for you!
ReplyDeleteI was admiring A Murderous Relations' cover with awe, but then I scrolled down and saw the cover for Of Mutts and Murder and I can't! LOOK AT HOW CUTE THAT BIG PUPPY IS! He looks so happy! I love it!
Happy Reading!! <3
That is such a great cozy series and the Veronica Speedwell series is awesome if you've not tried it.
DeleteI have read two of the books on your list. A Murderous Relation was a 5 star read for me. I gave 4 stars to A Longer Fall and An Easy Death but it was close. If I did half stars, they would have both been 4.5 star reads. I hope you do enjoy all of these!
ReplyDeleteWell, I have high hopes too. I know we like a lot of the same books.
DeleteOoh The Unwilling looks interesting. Mexican Gothic, the Raybourns... quite a few here I want to try. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll be starting The Unwilling soon!
DeleteMexican Gothic and Southern Book Club are two I'm looking forward to! Hope you love all of these!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela.
DeleteI agree with your rationale on the Catherine Ryan Hyde book -- I haven't read much from her but she is a very dependable author. And the Prince book looks like a treasure trove for fans; I hope you love it.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I NEED THE WAYWARD PETS BOOK IMMEDIATELY. (she says, guiltily eyeing the copy of "Sit! Stay! Speak!" she bought 2 years ago and still has not read)
Haha. How funny! I have an unread copy of that too!
DeleteWould LOVE if Mexican Gothic and the new Grady Hendrix turned out to be 5 star reads for me!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
Here's hoping!
DeleteIt wasn't as easy to predict as I thought either! Ooh love the title of that Grady Hendrix book! I'm working on a post for authors I want to try for the first time this year and that is someone likely to be on the list!
ReplyDeleteI hope you like him. Just skip the chapter in My Best Friend's Exorcism with the senseless dog death.
DeleteI love the cover of the Grady Hendrix book. I hope these books all turn out to be 5 stars!
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
I do too but every time I see it I think of The Real Housewives of Atlanta. The peach is one of their Bravo logos.
DeleteI hope these turn out to be everything you hope for. I love the cover of A Murderous Relation, I think I will go have a look at it on Goodreads!
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read The Southern Book club book and Mexican Gothic. Can't wait for both of those.
ReplyDeleteLynn :D
Though it has taken me FOREVER to finish Gods of Jade I predict we are going to love Mexican Gothic too! :)
