Plans for next month:
- Read a newly received ARC and review it
- MOCKINGJAY!!!
- Finish up the Queen's Thief series
- Read another one or two books from the TBR Challenge list
- Try to get back into the classics
- Maybe start on the next WoT book
- Polish off a few library books
- Oh, and there's a read along for Children of God, the sequel to The Sparrow!
How was your month and what are you plans for next month?
I really want to read Shiver. The book seems interesting but I put keep putting it off. It's incredibly rare (very, very) rare I actually enjoy a YA book. I'm not sure why that is... I keep expecting the next one I read to wow me and Shiver, while seeming interesting and I've heard great things about it, has been marketed as a YA book (unless I'm totally wrong in that). I'm really reluctant to read it for that reason, I guess. I'll have to just suck it up and read it. Did you like it?
ReplyDeleteSarah: I'll review it soon so you'll know more what I thought, but yes, I did like it. Maybe it's because like Grace, I'm fascinated with wolves... I don't know. But I just want to say, there's tons of great YA books out there, so I hope you take the plunge and try a few soon! :)
ReplyDeleteI liked that Kaki Warner book. The next one to is good.
ReplyDeleteHere is my post: TSS: What Books I Read in July
I LOVED The King's Thief, my favorite of the series. I could not put it down. I read the whole series in about a week!
ReplyDeleteSorry, but I have no aphorisms for you...but I take it you are excited about Mockinjay by all the CAPS!!!! :) I'm just getting to the first one. I tried once before and couldn't really get into it, but I'll try again....peer pressure like I mentioned on my post today.
ReplyDeleteI'm so looking forward to Mockingjay!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait for Mockingjay!!!!! BUT, I'm so worried I won't be able to finish it completely before all the talk (and spoilers) begin! ARGH!!!
ReplyDeletegautami: I think I will be for sure checking out that next Warner book.
ReplyDeleteJana: Wow, a week! Fun stuff.
Unfinished: Good luck with Hunger Games. I hope you love it this time around. Book peer pressure is a fun thing!
Amanda: Yes! It's going to be fun!
Tif: You'll just have to read it that first day. But I know, the blogs will be full of spoilers after that.
hahaha...I just had to laugh when I saw that you have The King of Attolia on your list of books read. Again, my question to you has been answered.
ReplyDeleteI am going to start this book this week. After I am done with it, I am going to read your review. I hope I like it as much as I have liked the other two. Funny thing, The Thief was a book that we gave my 12 year old for Christmas, and here I am...loving the series and she has yet to read it. ha.
You have an interesting list of books that you read. I am going to take a closer look at your reviews...next week once my internet free week is over.
I so plan on reading Mockingjay once it is released. Did you pre-order the book?
You have quite an impressive list of plans for next month. Very cool.
Do you think you will start the 4th book in the WoT series? I am going to, but it will probably take me a good month to finish it since it will not be only read.
Have a great week Suey!
Ibeeeg: I haven't pre-ordered Mockingjay yet. Trying to decide if I should, or just go buy it that day. That worked last time, but not sure it will work again this time.
ReplyDeleteYes, I really hope to start book four this month, but like you, it takes me awhile because I also read other books with it. Usually anyway.
