Good morning! Awhile back, I hit one hundred followers!! 😀 To celebrate that, I’ll be doing a giveaway, as well as a Q&A.
Basically, how this will work is, I’m going to list out my top ten favorite books from 2018 and 2019. Then, you’ll have a chance to enter my giveaway. If you win my giveaway, you’ll get to choose ONE book off of my top ten list and I’ll buy a copy from Amazon and send it to you! 😀
It was very hard to do, but I was able to limit the list to ten books, plus one honorable mention. I wish I could do more, but it would get too long, so…
Let’s see which books you have a chance to win! 😉
NOTE: Most of the time, I will not be including series that I enjoyed unless my favorite book was the first one. 😉
NUMBER TEN: The Penderwicks: A Summer Tale of Four Sisters, Two Rabbits, and a Very Interesting Boy by Jeanne Birdsall (Goodreads)
Phew! That is a long title!!
I love this book and just the entire series! It’s very fun to read… it’s funny too! I think it’s just about one of the best middle grade series. 🙂
Rating: 4 stars
Recommendation: 11+
NUMBER NINE: Princess Academy by Shannon Hale (Goodreads)
This another good middle grade series I enjoyed! Very fun to read! 😀 The characters are great too. I think I’ve read all in this series except the last one. 😉
Rating: 5 stars
Recommendation: 12+
NUMBER EIGHT: Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes (Goodreads)
This book is a great historical fiction set in the time of the Revolutionary War. It’s action-packed and very enjoyable for all ages! 🙂 I read it for school not that long ago and it turned out to be a new favorite! 😀
Rating: 4 stars
Recommendation: 12+
NUMBER SEVEN: Seek by Angela R. Watts (Goodreads)
Oh my word, you guys, this book is awesome. I was on the beta team for Seek…. just wow.
Rating: 4.5 stars

Rating: 4 stars
Recommendation: 12+
NUMBER THREE: The Witch of Blackbird Pond by Elizabeth George Speare (Goodreads)
I just finished reading this book a few days ago and it was so good. I had to read it for school and never thought I would enjoy it as much as I did. The story line was very interesting and so were the characters. ALSO THE ENDING, WOW, so good.
Rating: 5 stars
