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!

I'd Tell You I Love You...

What mood I'm in today: Writing
What I'm listening to right now: Absolute silence

Fall is here! I'm so stinking excited I can barely contain myself. It rained - no, poured yesterday, and I LOVED it. I wanted to curl up with a good book and some hot cocoa.
Speaking of books...

This little gem, I'd Tell You I Love You, But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter, is a very fun read. There's not a lot of serious about this fun fic, but it was classic-YA-cute-love-story. Read my review on Goodreads. I plan on reading the rest of the series in the near future.

As always, Happy Reading!

Kissed, by Kimberly Loth

What mood I'm in today: Editing
What I'm listening to right now: Hot Chocolate, Polar Express

Oh yes, you read that right. I'm listening to a Christmas song. It is August, after all. And Halloween candy is already adorning the aisles of my local grocery stores. I love holidays. Surely I've told you this before.

Aside from holidays, I love reading. I recently had the awesome opportunity to read Kissed by Kimberly Loth, someone I actually know (wow! I know famous people!). Okay, so I knew her a long time ago, but I really, really loved this book. She didn't ask me to read it or anything. I just ended up reading it, and liking it. A lot.

You can read my official review on Goodreads. And here's a pic of the lovely cover:

Enjoy your reading! Hopefully, I can actually get to mine this week, but it's doubtful. Once school starts, maybe...

The Forever Song

What I'm listening to right now: Autumn Forest, Adrian von Ziegler
What mood I'm in today: Writing

After a very fun week of camping, movies, and the Payson Highland Games, here's a link to my latest Goodreads review.

The Forever Song, by Julie Kagawa
(As you now know, one of my fave-or-ite authors)

Happy Reading!

Of Triton, by Anna Banks

What I'm listening to: Team, Lorde
What mood I'm in today: Reading

Love this song.
Summer is awesome. I'm about to put a copy of Forever Song in my hands again. I love Kagawa's writing style and am excited she's writing a new series. Woo!
Anyway, this post is not about Kagawa.

Of Triton, by Anna Banks, is a fun and divergent summer read (like how I put in another plug there?). You can read my review on Goodreads.
Happy Summer Reading!

Recently finished reading another Nancy Famer. Love her. Read my short review on Goodreads. I would recommend this book to ANYONE, not just YA readers. Happy Reading!



13 Reasons Why

What I'm listening to right now: Angels or Devils, Dishwalla

I just finished this book. Go read it if you can handle books about suicide.
Goodreads Review. That's all I'm saying.

Happy, or Deep and Thoughtful Reading.

The Princess Academy

What I'm listening to: Donald Duck cartoons

You can read my very short review for Princess Academy here. A very fun kids book that I'd recommend to anyone!

Waiting for Hollow City! So excited to read it now that I know it exists!

Just Keep Swimming...

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

I'm loving this new year. I've finished, like, four books. Does it really matter that I started three of them last year? Or that two of them were audio books? Maybe. But I did finally finish Mockingjay and LOVED it. Not only that, but I picked up on a new series about the Syrena, a book called Of Poseidon by Anna Banks. Here are the links to my Goodreads reviews.

 

Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins

 

Of Poseidon by Anna Banks

I decided I must still be a teenager at heart. Not that I want to go through that again (please no!). But I love YA books. It's totally on my level!

Until next time, Happy Reading!

Happy New Year!

What I'm listening to: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire Audiobook
What Mood I'm In: Writing

Happy New Year! Loved all the books I read last year; here are reviews on Goodreads for the last two I finished:

The Iron Traitor, by Julie Kagawa

and

What Happened to Serenity, by PJ Sara Collins

May you have Happy Readings in your new year! Short but sweet, my mission this year is to link this with my Goodreads reviews. It saves me a lot of work. Good luck to you!
