(un)Conventionally Forwards – 2018 Releases I’m Excited About

(un)Conventionally Forwards – 2018 Releases I’m Excited About

I can’t have backwards posts and not have any that look forward, right? Looking towards the new year is what it’s all about today. 2018 Releases I’m Excited About The title is pretty self-explanatory, and the titles are in no particular order. Here’s some 2018 Releases I can’t wait to read:   Winter Igniting by Rebecca Zanetti is the fifth book in her exciting Scorpio Syndrome series. It’s a post-apocalyptic story, set in the US after a terrifying virus wipes out a big part of the population. It’s very realistic in many ways, and it’s also very character-driven.       I have already had the pleasure of reading Keep Her Safe by KA Tucker, and I have to say, […]

(un)Conventionally Backwards – Best New-to-me Authors 2017

(un)Conventionally Backwards – Best New-to-me Authors 2017

(un)Conventionally Backwards is my look back at 2017, what happened on the blog. Off the blog. What books did I read? Did I find new authors I loved? You know the drill, right? We all seem to look back when we arrive at the end of a year, so that it’ll be easier to look forwards once we start 2018. I read more than one new-to-me author in 2017, and some of them have become new favorites! Here they are, in no particular order – including the book I read that got me ‘hooked’ on them 😉 (un)Conventionally Backwards – New To Me Authors that have become faves: Becky Albertalli is awesome! I read The Upside of Unrequited this year, […]

(un)Conventionally Backwards – 2017 Favorite Travels Part 2

(un)Conventionally Backwards – 2017 Favorite Travels Part 2

Here’s my second Favorite Travels post about a trip I took to a place where not only I got to discover a new city, but I got to spend some of my time with authors and other readers / bloggers. 2017 Favorite Travels In June, Mr. Lex and I went to Berlin for a long weekend, and not only was it my first time in Berlin, the RARE family had an event there that I had my ticket for. Mr. Lex and I spent a lot of time walking everywhere on the Friday, and on the Saturday, after breakfast, I went to the convention. Here, Mr. Lex and I are in front of Brandenburg Tor in the center of Berlin. […]

(un)Conventionally Backwards – 2017 Favorite Travels Part 1

If you’ve been a frequent visitor to (un)Conventional Bookviews, you know I love to travel. And if I can travel some place while also including my love of all things bookish, I think I’m the happiest blogger around 😉 In 2017, I was lucky enough to travel quite a bit, and three of my trips had to do with books, authors and other bloggers, so they are among my favorite travels. 2017 Favorite Travels In May, I went to Atlanta for the RT Booklovers Convention, and it was so much fun! There were some slight problems with the hotel not expecting bookish people to be so present in the bar, but apart from that, and some elevator troubles, it was […]
