Pretties

What mood I'm in today: Reading
What I'm listening to right now: Avengers soundtrack

Hello Spring!
Well, up until it snowed today, anyway. It's not bad. We need it. And snow makes lovely reading weather. That, and a couple of warm chocolate chip cookies. Is it so bad that I've been making them every few days for, like, a month now? I'm totally addicted.
Not to mention lazy.
Scratch that. I'm a mom, I'm not lazy. I'm busy. And sometimes at the end of the day I'm totally exhausted. But you know what's nice? Reading while sitting in the waiting room. It's the one thing that probably saves me from the stress of doctor, dentist, and orthodontist visits. I get to read! Yay!

Pretties is the second in the "Uglies" series by Scott Westerfeld. Have I mentioned that I like his books? I do. A lot. Read my review of Pretties here on Goodreads. It's short but sweet, that's how I do it. Four stars overall - a really great read and lead up to Specials, which I'm just now trying to finish.
As always, Happy Reading!

The Uglies

What mood I'm in today: Reading
What I'm listening to right now: Lindsey Stirling, Transcendence

It snowed last night. Smiley! Also, a good reason to want to stay in bed all morning. I didn't, which kind of stinks. I didn't even make hot chocolate for breakfast, because it's been around sixty degrees for a couple weeks. Boo. It's a good day to curl up with a good book. Like this one. And maybe some afternoon cocoa.

 

Uglies, by Scott Westerfield (love this author), is a fantastic, well-written and exciting Dystopian YA novel about Tally Youngblood and the world of Pretties (what I'm reading right now). Read my review on Goodreads. If you like Dystopian or Sci-Fi or anything with a remotely good plot line, this is for you.

Happy Reading!

The Beautiful Between

Happy New Year!
I love New Year's Day. It's like this whole starting over point. And even though it's halfway through the month (and we've got both feet firmly planted in 2015 already, right?), I'm still excited about it being a new year. Time goes by so fast. So much can happen in a short amount of time. At least I was able to read a whole 12 books last year. As for this year, I will plan on the same. Unless I get the time to read fourteen. Smiley face!

The last book I finished in 2014 was a little gem called The Beautiful Between, by Alyssa B. Sheinmel. You can read my review on Goodreads. For the short review, I liked it and gave it three stars, mostly for it being a bit heavy (not just for young readers, but for anyone).
And for the New Year - Happy Reading!

Hexed

It's actually Christmas Day, and I'm blogging. What????
So I feel weird when I have nothing to do, like I'm being lazy. Really, it's a problem. I'm trying to relax but I can't. Ugh.
Instead of doing absolutely nothing, I will link you to my review of Hexed, by Michelle Krys, here at Goodreads.
Here's the cover, which I think is kind of cool:

Until next time, Happy Reading! And Happy New Year!

Bones of Faerie

What I'm listening to right now: Greensleeves
What mood I'm in today: Reading

It rained last night. And this morning when I went outside it smelled AWESOME (okay, so I could probably find some better words to describe it than that). Fall is finally showing its face. We've already raked up 8 bags of leaves. Only 37 more to go...
Fall is the perfect time to cuddle up with a mug of hot tea and a good book. This one made me the tiniest bit sad that the leaves didn't change color in the fall anymore...you'll have to read to figure out what I'm talking about.

 

Bones of Faerie by Janni Lee Simner is a dystopian faerie novel...so how could I resist? You can read my review on Goodreads.
As always, happy reading!
