TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS THAT EARNED THE HYPE

RAIN CITY READS July 30, 2018 8 Comments

So here’s the deal. Today marks about a week of a heatwave in the Pacific Northwest, and right now the temperature is about 30 degrees. Yes, I know, that’s not really that hot, people live in warmer climates all over the world. But I’m not accustomed to it, and it has rendered me completely
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS THAT WEREN’T WHAT I EXPECTED

RAIN CITY READS March 13, 2018 3 Comments

I’m tired and very behind this week, so without any further preamble, I’m going to jump right into it. Here are the books that surprised me (for better or for worst) the most: Another Brooklyn was far more poetic and deeply emotionally affecting than I had expected it to be. Though it deals
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOK SETTINGS I’D LOVE TO VISIT

RAIN CITY READS December 4, 2017 18 Comments

Oh man. This one is hard. I’m so tempted to just make this a list of travel memoirs and call it a day, but I want to try a little harder than that! (Though there will be some. I just have to.) First, a few fictional books based on real places I’d like to
TOP TEN TUESDAY | DEBUT AUTHORS WHOSE NEXT BOOK I CAN’T WAIT TO READ

RAIN CITY READS November 2, 2015 8 Comments

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt is debut authors whose first book has me clamouring to read their second. I cannot even tell you how frustrated I become when I absolutely love a book, finish it, and then go looking for more…. only to discover there aren’t any yet! I mean, I guess it’s

TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I WOULD TEACH IF I TAUGHT…

RAIN CITY READS August 24, 2015 11 Comments

This week’s topic is a really, really good one. We got to pick which top ten books would be on our syllabus if we taught x 101 – for example, historical fiction 101 or high fantasy 101. I’ve decided to cheat a little bit, because there were just too many possibilities to pick from!

TOP TEN TUESDAY | FUNNY AND INSPIRING CHARACTERS

RAIN CITY READS April 28, 2015 20 Comments

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is: Top Ten Books That Feature Characters Who ____. I get to fill in the blank myself, and hmmmm. I think I’m going to divide this into two, because I can’t think of one category that’ll get me to ten. The first half
TOP TEN TUESDAY | INSPIRING QUOTES

RAIN CITY READS April 13, 2015 21 Comments

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is: Top Ten Inspiring Quotes from Books. Umm… this one’s tough. I don’t underline my books. I don’t read a ton of uplifting books even if I did. And I usually write down quotes that are beautifully worded, interesting, or that I deeply
TOP TEN TUESDAY | ALL TIME FAVE BOOKS READ FROM 2013-15

RAIN CITY READS March 2, 2015 10 Comments

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is: All Time Favourite Books Read In the Past Three Years. This works out perfectly because halfway through 2013 is when I began blogging regularly here, and when my reading life really picked up post-university. It’s been a wonderful, wild ride, and I’ve met
TOP TEN TUESDAY | BOOKS I’D LOVE TO READ IF I HAD A BOOK CLUB

RAIN CITY READS January 26, 2015 9 Comments

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is: Top Ten Books I’d Love To Read With My Book Club/If I Had A Book Club. The latter in my case, as I have yet to find bookish folks whose geographic location and schedules permit regular book meetings! I’m selecting some I’ve

Rain City Reads January 19, 2015 32 Comments

This week’s Top Ten Tuesday on The Broke and the Bookish is: Top Ten Books That Weren’t What I Expected. This week was a freebie – meaning I can choose any topic I want. And because I’ve read a few books in the past year that really surprised me, I thought this would be
END OF YEAR BOOK SURVEY | 2014

Rain City Reads December 31, 2014 6 Comments

2014 has been quite a year for me here on the blog. Not only did I post consistently all year long, but I read more than a book a week on average, re-did the look of my blog (twice) and added a couple of features (The Sunday Review and Book Thoughts On Thursday). Book blogging

BOOK THOUGHTS ON THURSDAY | ON BEING PLEASANTLY SURPRISED

RAIN CITY READS December 18, 2014 No Comment

The world of books is never boring. Every Thursday (well, almost every Thursday) I’ll discuss a different topic related to books, often inspired by or in response to what’s going on in the online book community (or something I’ve seen another blogger talk about). I call this Book Thoughts on Thursday. Feel free to weigh

STACKING THE SHELVES | #51

Rain City Reads December 13, 2014 No Comment

Time to look at the books I added to my shelves this week with Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga’s Reviews! Not necessarily books I bought – also includes books I borrowed, was given or otherwise ended up with. Weeks I don’t buy any books I’ll scramble around my shelves and find some I haven’t
