I'm in a list making kind of mood so I thought I'd start making random five lists. Sometimes they'll be bookish other weeks not so much. May is my birthday month and my favorite month of the year as I celebrate the whole month (plus a little planning time in April and a wind down time at the beginning of June). Here are 5 books I'm thinking about buying as part of my birthday celebrations.
1. The Shippers by Katherine Center - I loved the one book by this author that I've read and this sounds fantastic! The only question is do I buy it in print or audio?
2. Five-Star Summer by Sarah Morgan - I've really enjoyed the most recent books I've read by this author and this one sounds like a lot of fun!
3. Thistlemarsh by Morea Corrigan - I want to buy this mostly for the gorgeous cover but luckily it also sounds like a fantastic read.
4. The Book Witch by Meg Shaffer - This sounds so fun and I'm really looking forward to reading it.
5. The Magician of Tiger Castle by Louis Sacher - I love the cover of this one as well and I've seen some fantastic reviews for it. I haven't read enough middle grade lately so this one really appeals to me.
What would book would you buy for your birthday?
Happy Birthday Month! These all sound really good.
ReplyDeleteYou should get them all! Birthdays are a great excuse to treat yourself. I am lucky a book I want is finally being translated to English and being released late June. My birthday is early June but i will but by the lastest Valerie Perrin book when it comes out June 23.
ReplyDeleteI really want to read Thistlemarsh, The Book Witch and The Shippers, too! I've got two of them on hold at my library already. :D
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! These all sound great to me. I would read them. I have read The Shippers. I recommend audio. Unless it has a gorgeous cover or I think I will meet the author for signing I just don't get print books as much.

You have great taste. For The Shippers I will most likely listen on audio. But just need to check the narrator. Hmm just looked, Patti Murin - I've never listened to anything by her so might have to do some research and read in print if I don't like. Oddly enough I was browsing on GR this morning and put The Book Witch into my TBR. Will probably look for the Sarah Morgan book too. Thistlemarch looks totally intriguing. Oops i checked out some K C books I have listened to and Patti Murin did a very good narration of them so I know i will listen.
ReplyDeleteYay for birthdays. My hubby is a May baby too. I loved Thistlemarsh.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday month! The books all look great - I've enjoyed Katherine Center's books.
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday month! 🎉
ReplyDeleteI agree with your cover love for Thistlemarsh. I also love the title. I just had to look at The Book Witch on Goodreads, but alas... it's a Romance, so it's not for me. I would go with the Sachar book. I loved his book, Holes, so I would probably like the writing. ☕︎
