And my friends are staring at me hard right now. Yes, I know...I NEED TO READ THIS.

8. Remembrance by Meg Cabot


Yea, pretty much what I said above. lol. 

9. Anne of the Island by LM Montgomery

Yes, this is a re-read. My all-time favorite of the entire series. :) 

10. Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell

I saw a trailer for the movie and thought it looked good but I want to read the book.

And that concludes this week's TTT! :) Any suggestions for me? What was on your list? 

'Til next time,

Jess

THE STAR-TOUCHED QUEEN is amazing. i don't really like fantasy and I loved this one!!! Another friend of mine who hates it (won't touch fantasy wth a 10foot pole) also read it and loved it. I'm also looking forward to THE COLDEST GIRL IN COLDTOWN. You have a great list, Jessica, hope you get to read all of these!!

Jessica Henry March 14, 2016 at 9:40 PM  

Oh that makes me excited! I love Fantasy but sometimes I can't get into them. I love the IDEA of fantasy more than I find a book that's fantasy that I like. lol. The Coldest Girl in Coldtown was on my last TBR list, I think...so I HAVE to read it now. It's two lists old! Thanks for stopping by! Do you have a list? :)

I have to admit that I'm now intrigued by You Were Here. I hope you get around to these books!

Baggins March 14, 2016 at 11:32 PM  

Great picks! I have a few of these on my TBR too, though they didn't make my list this week. So many books, so little time! Happy reading.

My Top Ten

I have it right now and I flipped through it. It has mixed media in it. Some chapters depict the scenes in doodles and/or comic book art! It's cool. Thanks for stopping by! :)

Jessica Henry March 15, 2016 at 8:42 AM  

So true. So many books, so little time! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Wonderful choices! I need to read Six of Crows too. So many people have told me that it's amazing! Hope you have a lovely spring and happy reading! :)
My TTT List

A modern Jane Eyre?! How did I not know this!? I *need* to read up on this. Keep Me Posted is a cute title, but again, I hadn't heard of it. Yay for some new bookish discoveries.

Thanks so much for visiting Finding Wonderland, Jessica. :)

Hamlette (Rachel) March 15, 2016 at 11:18 AM  

What do you know? I'm rereading Anne of the Island right now! And Anne of Windy Poplars is on my TTT list :-) Good choices for yours!

Jessica Henry March 15, 2016 at 11:49 AM  

I won my copy in a giveaway and it's been calling to me. I have like four other books right now that I have on my MUST READ NOW list so it'll have to wait for a moment but it looks so good! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Jessica Henry March 15, 2016 at 11:51 AM  

Jane Steele and Keep Me Posted is brought to you courtesy of...NET-GALLEY! lol. I'm excited to dig into them. Thanks for visiting! See you next week! ;)

Jessica Henry March 15, 2016 at 11:55 AM  

Anne of the Island is my favorite because of the new friends she makes and the adventures and of course...THE MOST ROMANTIC ENDING EVER. Windy Poplars is..probably my third favorite. (Anne's House of Dreams being my second). Thanks for stopping by! Loved your list. :)

Hamlette (Rachel) March 15, 2016 at 12:22 PM  

Green Gables and Windy Poplars kind of tie for my favorites, or they did when last I read AOWP like 20 years ago. Eager to see if I still love it! Island is a lot of fun too, and I definitely prefer it to Avonlea.

Jessica Henry March 15, 2016 at 1:33 PM  

I think Avonlea was my least read book out of all of them. It just didn't resonate with me as much. All this Anne talk makes me so nostalgic!

Joseph March 15, 2016 at 4:19 PM  

Nice list, hope you enjoy them.

Jessica Henry March 15, 2016 at 4:23 PM  

Thank you! :)

Lauren Stoolfire March 15, 2016 at 6:03 PM  

Jane Steele sounds awesome - I'm really excited to try it! :)

Check out my TTT.

Kay March 15, 2016 at 6:41 PM  

I am dying to read Jane Steele! I forgot to add it to my list! The Royal Wedding was amazing!!!! Happy Reading. :D

danya March 15, 2016 at 7:40 PM  

Jane Eyre's one of my favourite classics, so I'm a little wary of retellings but at the same time, Jane Eyre's one of my favourite classics so... yeah. I'll wait to see what the reviews are like, hopefully they will be positive!

Also, DEFINITELY need to get my hands on Remembrance. I loved the Mediator series (have re-read some of them several times) and can't wait for more Suze and Jesse :)

Jessica Henry March 15, 2016 at 8:06 PM  

Thank you! :) Jane Eyre as a modern serial killer. I can't wait to see how that shapes up! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Jessica Henry March 15, 2016 at 8:09 PM  

I'll review it on here, so keep an eye out! Jane Eyre is my favorite classic...basically because it's ME...so I'm a bit cautious going in.
My sister is the same with Mediator - she just LOVES IT. Her favorite Cabot series!
Thanks for stopping by! :)

Jessica Henry March 15, 2016 at 10:38 PM  

It really does! Thanks for stopping by! :)

MeezCarrie March 16, 2016 at 12:20 PM  

I read Keep Me Posted & it's really a good book! Hope you enjoy it too :) My TTT

Jessica Henry March 16, 2016 at 12:26 PM  

That's great! It's third on my TBR list! :) Thanks for stopping by! :)

Mallory @ The Local Muse March 16, 2016 at 8:08 PM  

Jane Steele and The Star Touched Queen look really good. I'm eager to hear your thoughts on Jane Steele because it sounds like it could either be great or really bad, but I'm hoping it's really good.
Thanks for stopping by The Local Muse

Jessica Henry March 17, 2016 at 9:45 AM  

So far so good - on Jane Steele. It's independent enough that I don't feel like I'm reading a convoluted fan fiction of my favorite novel. But, I'm only on the eighth chapter! (fingers crossed!).

Liza Beasley ... one of Ron's sisters who didn't make it into the Potter books? My TTT

Jessica Henry March 18, 2016 at 5:35 PM  

Lol! Who knows? I always thought it was odd there was only one daughter and all those boys! Thanks for stopping by! :)
