Top 5 Wednesday: 2017 Reads

-
The top 5 books I want to finally read in 2017 are.....

  1. Out of Oz by Gregory MaGuire.  I want to reread the other 3 books, so if they have them in the library I'll just borrow them, until I get a job.  I loved that series and still have not read the last book.  

  2. Inheritance by Christopher Paolini.  I'll have to do the same thing with this series and reread the first three books, which I still have, and it will give me a chance to determine if the movie truly was bad.  
  3. The Grisha Trilogy by Leigh Bardugo.  Ever since I heard Samantha from Thoughts on Tome talk about this I've been obsessing over reading this trilogy.  This might be a library book, but I will probably end up buying him.  

  4. Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.  This is a series I heard about from Reagan from PeruseProjects and I am interested in adult fantasy.  



  5. Mistborn: Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson  For me the same reasons as Name of the Wind.


Honorable Mention: Voyager by  Diana Gabaldon.  I will be reading it this year definitely.

Hello Beautiful Review

Review for Hello Beautiful By: Ann Napolitano             “Hello Beautiful” is a fictional drama of the relationship between William, a young man with basketball dreams and his wife, Julia. After tragedy strikes, the relationship between William and Julia, along with the rest of the family, starts to fall apart as truths and secrets are revealed. Side-note—I listened to the audio book and was pleasantly surprised at hearing the narration by Maura Tierney, an actress I’m familiar with.  Her soothing voice also delivers the emotions of these characters.              I found myself drawing similarities between “Hello Beautiful” and the classic novel “Little Women”, which Napolitano includes in the story.  Julia Padavano, and her three sisters each love and identify with the four March girls in “Little Women”, claiming the one they identify with th...

He also has questions about her habits and her physical appearance on the questionnaire.   In comes Rosie.   Rosie is a smoker, not very punctual, and a vegetarian proving to be an unsuitable partner.   But Rosie needs Don for his knowledge of genetics, because she is looking for her biological father, and Don can help her with the DNA testing.   This begins an experience that leaves a unique impression on Don Tillman that he’ll never forget.
