Top Ten Books I've Recently Added To My TBR


It's been a while since I did a Top Ten Tuesday buuuut I'm back! At least, for this Tuesday. :)) 


The Prom Goer's Interstellar Excursion by Chris McCoy

This sounds pretty ridiculous which is probably why I put it in my TBRs.


I know. My reasons are so profound.




Passenger by Alexandra Bracken

This is a beautiful (unique) cover and I'm all for books about time-travel.




Roommate Wanted by Nina Perez

First of all, in my opinion, the most interesting stories are about ordinary people who would've never noticed each other accept that somehow they now exist in each other's lives aka live in the same house.

Second of all... Yeah. I only had the one point.




Never Always Sometimes by Adi Alsaid

I like lists. I like not being cliche. A story about trashing lists and being cliche? Hmm, interesting.


In all seriousness though, I've heard great things and I've been wanting to read it for a long time.




A Madness So Discreet by Mindy McGinnis

This book. sounds. breathtaking. It is a fact (or I'm pretty sure it is) that women were packed off to asylums sometimes in the olden days when they were too different or too outspoken (once again, I think. correct me if I'm wrong). Anyways, women + asylum + detective work. Yes.




The Rest of Us Just Live Here by Patrick Ness

I have to admit. The whole best friend being worshiped by mountain lions threw me off. Just a little. But that's okay. This book sounds unique and different. I like unique and different.




The Girl with All the Gifts by M. R. Carey

The blurb has gotten me so curious. I've forgotten how this book came to my TBR but I shall read it eventually.




Reawakened by Colleen Houck

A re-animated Egyptian prince sounds like fun. Honestly, it sounds like Night at the Museum which I think is the perfect reason to read it because that movie is one of my all time favorites.




Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard

I read Red Queen and loved it to death. Thus, Glass Sword.





The Shadow Queen by C. J. Redwine

I have to admit... I was dragged into this one based entirely on appearances. LOOK AT THAT COVER. It is gorgeous. And besides, Snow White retelling? Um yes?


What are books that you've added to your TBR recently?

    psst...Passenger is incredible. I'm so close to finishing it and I love it so much. Plus, I'm all about that cover.

    I actually have Never Sometimes Always from the library right now, and I think it's the next one I'm going to read. That or Guardian, by Alex London. Roommate Wanted just got put on my TBR, because I love roommate plots. :D

      *whispers* I saw you squeeing over it on Twitter (?) and now I just really need to get my hands on it.

      The cover is SO. GORGEOUS.

      I've heard really good things about Never Sometimes Always and it sounds cool. Hehe, yay! *fist pump* Roommate stories are the best.

Book Haul + My First Guest Post (!)

Guys, guys, guys, guys. I did my very first guest post at Tansie Gray's blog Totally Tansie  and it was awesome collaborating with her! Tansie's blog is full of hilarious book reviews, rants, and writing tips. I had a great time writing the post: "10 Ways to Make Your Sister Mad"  I'd love it if you could pop over to Totally Tansie and check it out (And maybe leave a comment. Hint, hint). [][][][][][][][] I also went to my favorite used-books store last Sunday. I didn't get as many books as usual...Not many YA novels *gasp*. I felt unfulfilled. But I didn't want to spend what the books cost, so I snatched a few middle-grade types.  1. Princess Sonora and the Long Sleep by Gail Carson Levine A short fairytale re-telling of Sleeping Beauty in a funny, simple way. It's very  short. 107 pages short. 2.   The Sea of Monsters by Rick Riordan Book 2 of the Percy Jackson series! Now I can finally read it and see how it measures up to th

Airplanes and Sky

Remember when I talked about big travel things that I was going to do this summer? THE TIME. HAS. COME. IT IS HERE. YAY. As you can probably tell, I'm just a little excited. Me and my family are headed to Taiwan this summer for my uncle's wedding and since plane trips aren't really a regular thing for us, it'll be awesome.  If you know me even a little bit, you know that I love  traveling and gosh I'm just so excited to be able to be in and see another culture for a little while. *happy dance* Another reason I'm writing this is to tell you about how I get ready for major trips and whatever little tips I use to make traveling easier. Maybe they'll help you in a future trip. ^^ Any trip needs music, but especially one where there are multiple long layovers and a hugely long flight over the Pacific Ocean. I've been updating the music on my phone (music helps me sleep so much better too), which is fun and boring at the sa

Waiting on Wednesday {2}

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Breaking the Spine where you talk about books that you can't wait to read, but that are, unfortunately, not published yet.   In a Handful of Dust by Mindy McGinnis Publication date: September 23, 2014 Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books The only thing bigger than the world is fear. Lucy’s life by the pond has always been full. She has water and friends, laughter and the love of her adoptive mother, Lynn, who has made sure that Lucy’s childhood was very different from her own. Yet it seems Lucy’s future is settled already—a house, a man, children, and a water source—and anything beyond their life by the pond is beyond reach. When disease burns through their community, the once life-saving water of the pond might be the source of what’s killing them now. Rumors of desalinization plants in California have lingered in Lynn’s mind, and the prospect of a “normal” life for Lucy sets the two of them on an epi
