Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Books and a Beat. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other Teaser Tuesday participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser.

 Two weeks from now, she'll be standing in the middle of Penn Station, waiting for a train not so different from this one. The minute she steps on board, she'll no longer be a fixed point on the map, the way she's been her whole life.

Another great looking book I picked up from the library. I'm starting to really love these illustrated covers. What do you think about them? Do you like them or not? Let me know in the comments below. 

 

Another Add to Ali's Bookshelf

I haven't posted one of these posts in a long time. Actually I looked it up the last one was in 2015! I think it's time to bring this post back. Another Addy To Ali's Bookshelf is another way for me to showcase the books I recieve for review or the books I buy to add to my collection.

The inspiration for these posts come from a great blogging friend, she used to blog under the blog My Reading Pile, sadly she isn't blogging from there anymore. She did give me permission to make my own post like her's. So here we go! 

Maybe This Time by Kasie West 

Published:  July 9th 2019

Publisher:  Point

Format: Harcover

One year. Nine events. Nine chances to . . . fall in love?

Weddings. Funerals. Barbecues. New Year's Eve parties. Name the occasion, and Sophie Evans will be there. Well, she has to be there. Sophie works for the local florist, so she can be found at every big event in her small hometown, arranging bouquets and managing family dramas.

Enter Andrew Hart. The son of the fancy new chef in town, Andrew is suddenly required to attend all the same events as Sophie. Entitled, arrogant, preppy Andrew. Sophie just wants to get her job done and finish up her sketches so she can apply to design school. But every time she turns around, there is Andrew, getting in her way and making her life more complicated. Until one day she wonders if maybe complicated isn't so bad after all . . .

Told over the course of one year and following Sophie from event to event, this delightful novel from master of romantic comedy Kasie West shows how love can blossom in unexpected places.

So you all know I love author Kasie West's books and just looking at this one I can't wait to read it. (The reason I had to showcase this one right away.) I mean look at this cover...and of course the summary. I mean come on it sounds amazing!

This book doesn't release till next month so my plan is to add it to my TBR plan for July, if I don't jump the gun and read it in June. I'm trying to stick to my TBR plan for June though. So we shall see.  Kasie West is one of my favorite authors and I know I'm not the only one out there that knew this book was releasing in July, I'm not the only one that watches their favorite authors release dates...right? LOL

So that's the plan, hopefully I can stick to it. I'm hoping to have it read and reviewed by release week as well, so you all will know my thoughts as soon as I finish the book next month.

What Are Your Thoughts On This One?

June's TBR Plan

Wow June came fast this year, June is my birth month so it's a fun month for me. I usually get a lot of reading done in the month of June and that of course just makes it my favorite month of the year even more. Below you will find my reading plan for the month.

I'm trying to take away the pressure that a TBR used to put on me, honestly I think it was more of blogger pressure than reading pressure, but we shall see. Anyway, the idea behind this came from Girl in the Pages. Her TBR's are called a plan and I thought that was very fitting for me. It's just a plan, not a have to!  If you haven't checked her blog out, please go do so now, she's one of my favorite bloggers/blogs. I read this one pretty much every time she posts.  I've also been loving Bookmark Lit lately and I love how she picks her TBR books. So, I thought I would give it a shot as well. If you haven't checked her blog out, it's a must. You should head there and read her blog as well!

 

June's Plan 

Once again I'm trying to read more ebooks, I did really well in May and I'm hoping I can continue that with June's Plan.

"We have a long ride before us." Gared pointed out. "Eight days, maybe nine. And night is falling." Ser Waymar Royce glanced at the sky with disinterest. "It does that every day at this time. Are you unmanned by the dark, Gared?" 

I don't know why but these lines made me laugh. It might be that I was reading at 1 in the morning, but I still think it's funny. Anyway, I joined a book club on Facebook and I'm super excited that we are reading Game of Thrones. I've been putting this book off for sometime, it's just been sitting on my shelf. So glad I'm finally reading it! 

I hope you all have a great Tuesday and if you have a teaser to share with me, I would love to read it. Either link it or post it below in the comments!
