Ash Reads Stuff

It's been so long since I've gotten to do a Top Ten Tuesday , a weekly feature from The Broke and the Bookish . I love doing these, and this is a good one. This week's topic is the top ten books I've read in 2017. Most of these books are also published in 2017, or will be published later on this year. Here we go... Heartache. Swoons. Disapproving dads. What more could you want?  Love letters in old books? Old best friends becoming more? Sign me up.  I would read this book a million times.  If you've ever questioned your faith, family, or yourself - this is for you.  So much snark and cuteness.  I love all of Trish's words. And she's a local (to me) author, so check it out.  Quite possibly my favorite book of the year. It doesn't come out until October, but it's worth the wait.  Cute boys, smart girls, sword fights. You want this one. So many emotions with this one and so many things you want to kno...

The Perfect Neighbors  by Sarah Pekkanen Publication Date:  July 5, 2016 Pages:  352 (paperback) Genre:  Fiction/Contemporary My Goodreads Rating:  4 Stars Goodreads Synopsis: Perfect Neighbors takes us into the homes of an idyllic suburban neighborhood where we discover the burning secrets hiding just below the surface. Bucolic Newport Cove, where spontaneous block parties occur on balmy nights and all of the streets are named for flowers, is proud of its distinction of being named one the top twenty safest neighborhoods in the US. It’s also one of the most secret-filled. Kellie Scott has just returned to work after a decade of being a stay-at-home mom. She’s adjusting to high heels, scrambling to cook dinner for her family after a day at the office—and soaking in the dangerous attention of a very handsome, very married male colleague. Kellie’s neighbor Susan Barrett begins every day with fresh resolutions: she won’t eat any carbs. She’ll go to bed...

I'm super excited about this Top Ten Tuesday , a weekly feature brought to you by T he Broke and the Bookish . 2016 has been a great year for book releases, so let's get started! Forget everything you know about Captain Hook (except if you watch Once Upon a Time ) and read this book. You won't be sorry.  While we're talking about pirates...check this out too.  Do you have a best friend? If so, read this book. Oh, hell, read it even if you don't have a best friend.  A fluffy-but-not-fluffy about friendship and love. And there's a kitten.  One of my favorite adult novels, ever. I cried. You will too.  Seriously amazing story-telling. (Okay, this one doesn't come until next week but it's SO GOOD make sure you read it.)  Perfect ending to a dark and gritty series. You've got me, Pierce.  It'd be great if there were sequels to this, like, tomorrow.  Rick and I have a strange relationship. He write...
