Booked with Abby

Yet another month is already over! I can't believe how fast this summer is moving. Pretty soon I'll be back in school. I'm so glad that everything is slowly starting to open back up. I've been to two bookstores this month so I would say it's been pretty good! Girl in the Blue Coat  by Monica Hesse Rating: 5 stars This was probably my favorite out of all the books I reviewed this month. I was instantly sucked in and I loved it My Review Check Please: #Hockey  by Ngozi Ukazu Rating: 5 stars I thought this book was so adorable. The main character, Eric, was so cute.

It's been a while since I've posted a book haul but I've been to two different books stores this month and I have plenty of new books to talk about! The first three books are from Wealsyn R. J. Julia and the last few are from Barnes & Noble. Glass Sword  by Victoria Aveyard I don't know why it took me so long to get this book. I loved Red Queen so much. Now that I have the sequel, I'm sure Glass Sword will be the next book I read. Eragon  by Christopher Paolini I've heard such great things about this series! I wanted to start it for a while so when I saw it, I knew I had to get it. Scythe by Neal Shusterman Looking at my bookshelves, I noticed that I don't really have a lot of dystopian books. The  Arc of Scythe  trilogy is such a popular series too! Little Woman by Lousia May Alcott A few months ago, I went to go see the new  Little Woman  movie and since then I've wanted to read this book! The Secret Garden  ...

Today is another Top 5 Tuesday post! Today I'll be counting down my top five favorite book covers. These books have breathing taking and beautiful covers! My ranking has nothing to do with the story inside and we're just judging by the cover today! 5. A Tale of Magic by Chris Colfer Just look at that beautiful cover! As if the dust jacket was amazing enough, when you take it off, your surprised by an even prettier cover! 4. Onyx & Ivory  by Mindee Arnett The next book on my list is Onyx & Ivory  by Mindee Arnett. The tree on the cover is stunning and the mist that swirls around it just makes the whole cover even better. Book Review 3. Stepsister by Jennifer Donnely Though I didn't enjoy the story inside, Stepsister  has a beautiful cover.  2. Forged in Fire and Stars  by Andrea Robertson The artwork on  Forged in Fire and Stars is beautiful! It looks even better in person. Book Review 1. Sea Witch by Sarah H...

I am so excited today and here's why! Today is the one-year anniversary of my blog! Booked with Abby is officially a year old today! To celebrate the anniversary of my blog, I will be posting every day this week! This blog has evolved so much since I first started it. My book reviews have become so much better too! I've started so many fun mini-series too including musical-themed posts and book talks!   Check out my first post:  Stargirl  by Jerry Spinelli And my latest:  Pride by Ibi Zoboi

Zuri Benitez has lived in her small Brooklyn hood as long as she could remember. With her five sisters, life has been perfect. Until the Darcy boys moved into the mini-mansion across the street.  Zuri hates Ainsely and Darius Dacy instantly. Unfortunately, Zuri's older sister, Jeanne, stars to fall for Ainsely. Darius might be catching her eye too. She's trying to hold onto the Bushwick Avenue she knows but things are changing. The hood is dying and love is blooming.         Pride  is a Pride and Prejudice  retelling. Although I've never read  Pride and Prejudice  I loved this book so much! Zuri wrote poems throughout the book. I don't usually like poems, I thought these ones were beautiful. I loved the romance. The enemies to lover troupe were played out perfectly. The characters were written so well and this is definitely a book I would go back and reread.         Pride  reminded me so much of the musical, In the ...
