From Goodreads:
Top Five Things That Are Ruining Chloe’s Day

5) Working the 6:30 a.m. shift at GoodFoods Market

4) Crashing a cart into a customer’s car right in front of her snarky coworker Sammi

3) Trying to rock the “drowned rat” look after being caught in a snowstorm

2) Making zero progress with her crush, Tyson (see #3)

1) Being accused—along with her fellow teenage employees—of stealing upwards of $10,000

Chloe would rather be anywhere than locked in work jail (aka the break room) with five of her coworkers . . . even if one of them is Tyson. But if they can band together to clear their names, what looks like a total disaster might just make Chloe’s list of Top Ten Best Moments.

1. Reads VERY YOUNG – I would guess the characters are 13-14 not 16-18.
2. Very The Breakfast Club-y. Teens are detained (detention) and they are The Brain, The Jock, The Princess, The Weirdo, etc.
3. Predictable – saw it coming from a mile away.
4. Diabetes was an interesting touch, but I thought it went a little overboard. I mean, my cat is diabetic, so I know what I’m talking about.
5. That was a joke, but my cat really is diabetic.
6. This is now a list about cats instead of a book I didn’t really like.

But seriously – at least Top Ten Clues You’re Clueless was a quick read.

Top Ten Tuesday: Fall TBR

toptentuesday2

This week, The Broke and the Bookish is asking for the Top Ten Books on My Fall TBR. I’m posting about my new lack of reading schedule on Monday, but let me just say that this was super hard to do without my old google calendar.

  1. Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J Maas: I want to start over the The Assassin’s Blade and read all the books! You know how much I love a binge read.
  2. The Well of Ascension by Brandon Sanderson: I need some more #mistbornfeels!
  3. Blue Lily, Lily Blue by Maggie Stiefvater: Pre-ordered the fancy bookplate edition SO FAST and waiting to be approved on Netgalley for SO LONG
  4. Althea & Oliver by Cristina Moracho: Enough of the fantasy, I always feel like reading ALL THE CONTEMPORARY in the fall (and all the other seasons)
  5. Top Ten Clues You’re Clueless by Liz Czukas: I thought Ask Again Later was pretty cute, so I’m excited for this one
  6. Even in Paradise by Chelsey Philpot: Does anyone else get a We Were Liars-ish vibe from this?
  7. A Thousand Pieces of You by Claudia Gray: Enough with the contemporary – I can’t wait to get to this gorgeous book (though I did just realize it’s A Thousand and not ONE Thousand and that maybe bothers me a little bit?)
  8. Snow Like Ashes by Sarah Raasch: YES YES YES YES YES
  9. Killer Instinct by Jennifer Lynn Barnes: So far I’ve heard that this is better than The Naturals, so I’m totally on board. I would really like to know how many books are in this series though – is this the end or will there be another?
  10. The Fine Art of Pretending by Rachel Harris: Okay, back to contemporary. I haven’t read any Rachel Harris yet, but all of her books are pretty close to 4 stars or higher on Goodreads, so I’m excited to give this a shot.

I can’t wait to see everyone’s TBRs this week so I can add to my ever growing one!
