My family always gets me gift cards to Barnes and Nobles for Christmas, and these are the books I want to get/buy with the generous gift cards. Reminder, this list is in no real order.

Top Ten Tuesday. Top Ten New-To-Me Authors I Can't Wait to Read More From

Hosted by the Broke and the Bookish

To be honest, I didn't read a lot of truly stunning new-to-me authors this year. A lot of the authors I honest-to-God love I had already discovered them years ago and by now I've devoured most of their books. Still, 2015 proved to supply a few great new pens for me.

I decided to do a bit of a different thing on this week's prompt. Instead of doing the top 10 new-to-me authors that I read in 2015, I'm doing the top 10 new-to-me authors that I want to read more from. These authors aren't necessarily the best new authors I read this year, but they are the ones I'm most excited to see more books by. I also included a possible next read for that author for me.
Reminder, this list is in no real order.

Next Up On Base 1. December 2015 TBR

You guys won’t know this, but last year I used to make these TBRs monthly on a different website. Lately I’ve been in a massive reading slump, so I’m hoping making these lists might encourage me to read more!
I’m also trying to upload more content onto this blog, and this seems like an easy way.

So, in no real order, here are the 5 books I want to try and read during this month!

Book Review 35. The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

Book: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Author: Mark Haddon
Genre: Young Adult Mystery
Pages: 226
Published: May 18th, 2004

Synopsis: Christopher John Francis Boone knows all the countries of the world and their capitals and every prime number up to 7,057. He relates well to animals but has no understanding of human emotions. He cannot stand to be touched. And he detests the color yellow.
Although gifted with a superbly logical brain, for fifteen-year-old Christopher everyday interactions and admonishments have little meaning. He lives on patterns, rules, and a diagram kept in his pocket. Then one day, a neighbor's dog, Wellington, is killed and his carefully constructive universe is threatened. Christopher sets out to solve the murder in the style of his favourite (logical) detective, Sherlock Holmes. What follows makes for a novel that is funny, poignant and fascinating in its portrayal of a person whose curse and blessing are a mind that perceives the world entirely literally.
