This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.
Happy Monday Everyone! I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and that your Monday is going well so far. For the past few weeks I have been going through my Wont to Read list alphabetically to choose my books for this post, but now that I am approaching the end of the alphabet I’m finding that I don’t have books for many of the letters. So instead of adding books just so I can finish out the alphabet, I’ve made to executive decision to stop with the letter ‘W’ which will be next week.
This week’s letter is the ‘U’ and I have chosen a just released book that I am super excited about. My library hasn’t purchased a copy yet, but I have requested that they do post haste, as I am sure many people will want to read this one. If they choose not to purchase it then I might have to buy one for myself, or might just do that anyways!😊
Upon a Frosted Star by M.A. Kuzinar
Publication Date: September 28, 2023
Summary from Goodreads:
When the snow falls, she will be free…
The invitations always arrive the same way – without warning, appearing around the city on the first snowfall of the year, simply inscribed with ‘Tonight.’
When struggling artist, Forster, finds an invitation, he’s bewitched by the magic of the evening, swept up in the glamour of this notorious annual party and intrigued as to who is behind them.
Determined to find out more about the mysterious host, Forster discovers an abandoned manor house silent with secrets and a cursed woman who is desparate to be free…
From the bestselling author of Midnight in Everwood, comes another spellbinding literary fairy tale that’s The Great Gatsby meets Swan Lake.
Swan Lake was always one of my favorite ballets, so beautiful and tragic. So far the few reviews I’ve seen of this are mixed, but I’m still will to give it a chance. I just love that cover, so maybe I will just buy it so I can look at it anytime I want.
Confessions of a Serial Reader 
It sounds good and the cover looks great. I don’t know the story of Swan Lake. I’ve heard of it but never investigated it!
I have to admit then when a book has mixed reviews I am cautious about reading it and it often goes to the bottom of the pile 😶
Have a great week!
