Taylor Reid's phone flashed as she snapped the selfie with her two friends, their heads touching and their backs to the stage. 

Q:   What books have you read/reviewed that you think are hidden gems, although they haven't found a big audience so far?
A: For me a big one is The Singer's Gun by Emily St. John Mandel. So it was the first book I read by her. Then that Station Eleven came out and being as floored as I was by the first, I need that one too. I am starting to think I am the only person on Earth that thought it was just okay. I gave it 3 out of 5 stars and honestly that was being generous. I was really feeling a 2.5 but didn't want to get chewed out online by book bullies. YEAH YOU EXIST!!! Anyway, I tell every one who raves about Station Eleven to read The Singer's Gun. I'm not sure if they will love it more but maybe. I just want to hear about this book more from someone other than myself. It's freaking worth it!






NOW THE GIVEAWAY

FOR PARTICIPANTS OF THIS MEME ONLY!
ALL OTHER ENTRIES WILL BE DISQUALIFIED AND DELETED.

1 WINNER

GOOD LUCK!!

Open to anyone who can accept an Amazon US or CA gift card.

    The Friday 56 - There are way too many online bullies, especially in the reading community. I try to be generous and honest with my reviews.

    BBH - I've read a couple of books by Terri Blackstock, but this is the first time I'm learning about this one. It looks like a good read.

    I totally spaced on doing mine this week, I woke up this morning thinking it was Saturday. Then I was *way* too tired to put one together after I realized my error.

    Congratulations on 10 years!

AVAILABLE ON DIGITAL NOW AND DVD MARCH 23! RATED F 72 minutes AMAZON An evil sorceress transports the gang back to the age chivalrous knights, spell-casting wizards, and fire-breathing dragons. While there, Shaggy unwittingly pulls out Excalibur from a nearby stone to cut a block of cheese and now no one is sure who the rightful ruler is.

Our heroes pull out all the stops to try and win the tournament, break the witch's hold on King Arthur, and find a way back to the present in this legendary story of Scooby Doo in King Arthur's Court. REVIEW: It was weird starting off with a He-Man lookalike, Thunder the Barabarian), until I realized a character from the film was watching the cartoon in the airplane. Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
