Top Ten Tuesday: School Freebie (Books that take place in schools)

~ Jolie ~ Leave a comment

Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.

How it works:

She assigns each Tuesday a topic and then posts her top ten list that fits that topic. You’re welcome to join her and create your list of top ten (or 2, 5, 20, etc.). Feel free to put a unique spin on the topic to make it work for you! Please link to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own post so that others know where to find more information.

It’s been a minute since I have done a TTT. The last post I had was done at the beginning of August. With school beginning (and my schedule freed up with the kids gone all day), I decided that today would be the day I started doing TTT again.

So, here’s my top 10. Please let me know if you have read any of these and liked them. Also, all of these books will be off my TBR (which is outrageously huge).

1. Boy in the Mirror (The Infinity Trials: Book 1) by Robert J. Duperre

2. We Said Forever by Marie James

3. Here I’ll Stay by Dominique Laura

4. Hereditary (Beatrice Harrow: Book 1) by Jane Washington

5. What Doesn’t Kill You (Twisted: Book 1) by Jo Ho

6. Perfekt Order (The Aere Saga: Book 1) by S.T. Bende

7. The Replacement Crush (Crush: Book 1) by Lisa Brown Roberts

8. Stupid Fast (Stupid Fast: Book 1) by Geoff Herbach

9. The Institution (Sacrisvita: Book 1) by Dylan Steel

10. The Cutting Room Floor by Dawn Klehr

This is a weekly meme where anyone can choose a random book from their Goodreads TBR and highlight it This meme was formerly featured on LaurensPageTurners and was taken over by Budget Tales Book Blog.

This Week’s Selection:

Fifteen-year-old Jacqueline Talbot’s boyfriend Mal lives in the mirror of her makeup case. There’s never been anything normal about Jacqueline; not during her time in foster care, and certainly not in her new hometown of Mercy Hills.

With rumors of actual monsters in the woods, the popular kids taking an unhealthy interest in her, and the revealing of her own dark past, all Jacqueline wants to do is run away forever with Mal. Too bad he’s trapped in the mirror.

But when she learns the ancient forces of the town want to destroy everything she loves, the race is on to free the boy in the mirror, because he just might be the only one who knows how to stop them.

PUBLISHER’S NOTE: This book was originally released under the title, “The Mirror of Souls.”
