It's Monday, what are you reading?



It's Monday, what are you reading? Is a weekly meme hosted by Sheila over at One Persons Journey Through a World of Books.



This month is just flying by so quickly! Not to mention all the other things going on in my personal life. That doesn't leave very much time for completing my challenge as I had hoped. But like they say, you gotta make time!


Read Last Week









Reading This Week







So I'm making some pretty good progress with my Halloween Challenge, at least I'd like to think so! Haha. Of all the books I've read so far I think Suspicion was my favorite even if the ending was super freakin iffy and sort of made no sense at all. I actually finished The Vines this morning and while it was interesting in terms of the history I wasn't too impressed with the characters.

I've been meaning to read Between The Devil and The Deep Blue Sea for awhile now and I keep putting it off so I figured now or never, basically. There are still a few books I was hoping to finish before October ends but I'm not sure how that's going to work out since it's already the 27th, I may continue on into next month... if I can find time between homework, work and NaNoWriMo. NaNoWriMo being the more demanding of them all lol!

Oh. Hello there! Remember me? I took a bit of a break from reading because... well life. And every time I would get in bed I was more absorbed into surfing Pinterest and going to sleep than reading. I know, bad reader! Bad bad reader! But I will admit I do miss the world of fiction and the sanctification of finishing a book (or two or three) in a day or week and well... my NetGalley pile is not getting any smaller so.... let's do something about that shall we?

So... I was kinda disappointed that the preview scene I saw of The Giver (the one with Taylor Swift) was actually NOT in the book, I get it's an adaptation and well they had to showcase it somehow. But I still enjoyed the book. The other two were... meh. I don't want to talk too much about them since I will be reviewing them soon.... which reminds me I have to edit and post my vlog review of Some Quiet Place.

Yes, I'm reading 4 books this week! Maybe. Maybe 5. Or 4. I haven't decided. I'm kinda obsessed with Mindy Kaling since I marathoned The Mindy Project. Seriously obsessed so this is an elibrary borrow which means I have 6 days left to finish it lol. The last two are NetGalley books. I'm not sure how I feel about The Winter People I mean it's getting interesting but it just seems so jumbled at the same time. And The Walls Around Us I basically can only read in the morning. Like it's not SUPER creepy, I'm just being a wuss. I might give up home on If I Stay I was hoping to read through it (finally, it's literally been on my Kindle TBR for 4 years) and watch the movie cause the trailer looked epic but the writing style doesn't click with me. I don't know what's going on, when a flashback is going to happen or anything. If anything I might just finish it for the sake of saying I did. I also snatched up Insurgent from the elibrary before anyone else could lol. So I guess I'm going to continue the Divergent series after all!

I got a sample (the first 5 chapters) of Isla and the Happily Ever After on NetGalley and I was super excited about it! As I was reading it, I remembered 5 chapters is not nearly enough to coming close to the good stuff when it comes to a novel by Stephanie Perkins so I'm just sitting here. Waiting for the book to be released.

I've been reading We Were Liars for weeks now. Everyone talks about how heartbreaking it is and so I kind of feel like I'm reading it while covering the other half of my face. Like. What did I get myself into?!? I started reading Grim which so far is... kinda weird. It's a collection of short stories by various YA authors, they take a grim tale and retell it. The first one was really awkward, I didn't really know where it was going. The second one was kinda sad and the third one... I wanted it to be longer!

Decided to really start and finish The Geography of You and Me by borrowing it from the library. I know I got this for review in physical form but I dunno, I like curling up with my Kindle in bed a lot more than with a book these days (I know --- what did she just say?).

Wow, it's been awhile since I've done one of these right? It's been awhile since I've been here in general. Things have been crazy and they're about to get crazier but I'll do my best to stay around. I've got lots of books to talk about!

What I'm Reading This Week





So after five years I've given in and started reading The Mortal Instruments series and while it's not the best thing I've ever read I see why people fan over it. I went through the entire second book in four hours. Insane. I never in my life thought I'd even make it through one of Cassandra's books. They're so huge. And intimidating. But the last book in The Mortal Instruments series comes out this year so I've got to catch up. And on top of that there's The Infernal Devices series too. And the two spin off's coming out next year. And even though I still have a few more books with Jace, Luke and Clary I'm getting sadder and sadder that I'm inching my way away from them with every book I finish. Does anyone else feel like that?

I've been slacking on my for review books. Slacking hard. It's always frustrating walking into B&N and seeing several books you were suppose to review already released and sitting pretty on a shelf. Really makes you feel like a failure lol. Plus I need a little break away from the paranormal lives right now. Just a little tiny break.

  • Hysteria by Megan Miranda

What I'm reading this week

  • Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea by April Genevieve Tucholke
  • Broken by C.J. Lyons
  • Will Grayson, Will Grayson by John Green & David Levithan

I finished two of the four I was aiming for this passed week... I don't think I'll be finishing The Coldest Girl in Coldtown tihs month. Poohie. There were a bunch of books I was hoping to finish this month since it would be "within theme". However since November is approching and I'll be NaNoWriMo-ing, I don't really know what to read this month! Haha! I guess I could read my Christmas books early, but would that kill the fun? I'll start off with some contemp then seen how I feel as the month goes on. Hopefully my reading won't decline with everything else going on in November!

I am going to focus on Will Grayson, Will Grayson since my friend wanted me to read it badly enough he got it for me. I know I'm late to the Will Grayson train but we'll see! Also I'm on a blog tour for Broken so you know, gotta focus on that too :P

Whoot! For finishing the two books I had planned to finish. But now that we're in the last week and a half of October I'm hoping to finish these last four books. The rest of my TBR is going to have to wait until next month. Boooo. 

I've started Intertwined finally! It's only been on my TBR for the last four years LOL! So far it's interesting. Hysteria is looking like it might be a DNF... we shall see....

    I read Some Quiet Place at a much slower pace than normal for some reason. The concept is so interesting and meeting all these different emotions is also interesting. And it was just ahhh. I loved it! But I've never really taken my time absorbing a book like that in a really long time!

    A Little Too Far is not even on my Halloween challenge list lol! Whoops, don't know how that happened!

    • The Crimson Thread: A Retelling of Rumpelstiltskin by Suzanne Weyn
    • The Beginning of Everything by Robyn Schneider
    • Another Little Piece by Kate Karyus Quinn
    • Just One Day by Gayle Forman

    I slacked off a bit mid month so I'm pretty disappointed in that. I was off to such a good start too, argh! I'm hoping I'll have plenty of good titles to rave (or rant) about in my monthly wrap up, but we'll see. We. Shall. See.

    It's officially Fall and I am *so* excited even if it doesn't feel any cooler here in Florida. Which sucks, Fall is my favorite season *sigh*. Either way, I'm super excited summer is suppose to be over. Bring on the creepy Halloween titles and the caramel apples!
