Welcome everyone! Starting today is the Bout of Books Read-a-thon #14!
As many of you know I just adore doing read-a-thons!

Challenge #4: Day 4 - What to Read Next Challenge
hosted by Sarah Reads Too Much
For this Challenge, you need to recommend 3 books (and only 3 books) that you have read this year that you think should be recognized as something great - something everyone should have on their TBR list for this fall. If you can, say a short little something about why you recommend these books.
1. The Dead Girls of Hysteria Hall by Katie Alender (my review)
I just recently did a review for this book and as you can tell by my review (if you have read it) I LOVED everything about this amazing novel! Want to know more about why I think this book should be on everyone's TBR list? Read my review. ;)
2. Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover
This year I discovered a new author Colleen Hoover. I am SO glad I did. Her books are one of my favorite books I have EVER read like in all 36 years I've been alive. Maybe, Someday has been my favorite so far.
3. Stone Cold Touch by Jennifer L. Armentrout
This whole series is simply amazing! Anything Jennifer L. Armentrout is amazing! Enough, said! ;)
