Winter TBR

Image
Winter is upon us, so you know what that means! It's time to break out the blankets and hot tea, and snuggle up in bed reading a good book all day 😍 This winter I hope to read: 1) Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor  I am currently reading this book and just got to part 3, or page 185. I am really enjoying this one, and my goal is to finish it before the start of 2018! Synopsis:  The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around—and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old he’s been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever. What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exac...

Summer TBR

Hi everyone! I can't believe that it is already July. Where has the year gone?? As far as my TBRs and Wrap Ups go, I am going to be making some changes. Because of my busy schedule, I don't have that much time to read much more than two or three books in a month if that. So, because I usually read so few books in a month, I feel like making a TBR and Wrap Up every month is pointless. Therefore, I'm going to start posting seasonal TBRs and Wrap Ups. I think that this will be easier on me and less redundant for you to read. I will still be posting each month as much as I can though, I'll just be posting book reviews and other content as I create and write it. So, I am going to go ahead and post my Summer TBR here even though one month of summer has already past. I will hold off on posting June's Wrap Up and include it in my Summer Wrap up at the end of August. Also, I will not be able to include pictures of the books in this TBR because I am moving on Sunday s...

The Archived Obsession

Hello!! I come to you in a super excited, hyped-up-on-awesome-books mood as I have just finished The Unbound by Victoria Schwab. I am literally OBSESSED with these books. I read The Archived over the summer and got The Unbound for Christmas this year and have literally just finished it like an hour ago. I went looking for any information about a third book, which sadly looks like is not going to happen, but ended up finding a short story Victoria had written a couple years ago instead. It was SO GOOD. It for sure helped me feel a bit more closure with the story as I wanted to see how Mackenzie and Wesley ended up. Not to mention, we finally learn Wesley's real name!!! In case you have read this series and haven't found this short story, I'm going to link it  here  for your enjoyment. I just need more Wesley and for the entire world to read these books please. That's not too much to ask, right?  Sorry this post is kind of crazy, but I am just so pumped about these b...

Hello readers and Happy New Year! I can't believe 2017 is already here! It seems so weird to be in 2017 for me because 2016 is the year I graduated high school, and I never really thought past life in 2016. That might seem odd, but all though school it seemed as though 2016 was the infamous year that would never actually get here, but now it has come and gone so fast. 2016 was the year that I graduated high school and completed my first semester of college, it was such a stressful but awesome year of life for me. I can only hope that 2017 will be as awesome. To start off this year I have a few books I hope to read. I don't know if I'll actually read all these because 1) I'll be back at college, so I don't know how much reading time I'll have, and 2) I'm a really moody reader so who knows if I'll feel like reading some of these books when I get there. But I'm going to try and make a TBR as a kind of goal for myself to get these books read in a timel...

It's a Book Filled Christmas!

Merry Christmas readers! I completely fell off of the Bookmas day challenges because everything just got crazy, but I thought I would make a post about the books I got for Christmas to round out the Bookmas season! I am so excited about all of the books I received this year and can not wait to dive right into them in 2017! 1. Cinder by Marissa Meyer I have been dying to start this series for so long, but I just never got around to buying the books. But no fear! My cousin gave me Cinder for Christmas this year, and I can't wait to finally start this series. 2. The Unbound by Victoria Schwab Over the summer I read The Archived which is this first book to this series, and I absolutely loved it! I got the book from my library and they didn't have the rest of the books, so I couldn't continue until now. I am so excited to get to continue on in this series! 3. This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab  Finally, I got This Savage Song which is so exciting because I h...

Bookmas Day Four: Top Four Underrated Books of 2016

Day four of Bookmas has arrived! I had to skip out on yesterday, Top Three Most Anticipated Adaptations of 2017, because I have no idea of any adaptations coming out next year. But I am back today with 4 underrated books! These books were not published in 2016, but they were all books that I read in 2016 and really enjoyed. 1. Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson This book is a true story written by Bryan Stevenson about cases that he has tried and clients that he has fought for in this own career. The book illustrates Stevenson's experiences in fighting for rights for men wrongly convicted and put on death row for nothing more than their skin color or their mental capacity. It also highlights cases of children who were convicted for petty crimes but convicted for life with no hope of parole. Finally, it highlights mothers that are put in prison and taken from their children, and the problems of the prison systems in America. This is such a powerful book that I think is very important...
