This Week in Books

These are the books that I hope to not only get to, but read this week!

      

• Turtles All the Way Down by John Green
• Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo
• Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty

Crooked Kingdom is taking me a bit longer because it's fantasy. I do love fantasy books, but something about them takes forever for me to get through them. But because the others are contemporary, I'm hoping I can fly through them. Especially Turtles All the Way Down, it's a very short book. I will have to be careful with Big Little Lies, it's a borrow from the library, and it is well worn!

(Recently finished: Now is Everything by Amy Giles | ☆☆☆☆)

Hope your week is 👌🏾!

So Im' hoping that one of these here will be the gem I've been searching for! If you've read any of these titles please tell me what you thought about it!

A little more:

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted anything! Well, I'm back with a lot books this week and they're all from this past week! Though I'm currently reading Hush, Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick, I need to jump intot he ones that are to be released by the end of July and August ASAP! 

I'm quite excited for My Life Next Door so, I may have to push a couple others aside to dive into this one!I should really organize my book shelf (when we move into our new house) and Kindle by release month!!)

I have read the first book in the Lightbringer series (review here) and enjoyed it, so I'm looking forward to Reaper. Though, I won't lie, the covers are not appealing to me in anyway. They're still great books!

So, I really really realllllly need to stop accepting books to review, stay off of netgalley and stay away from the library until these are done!

So much rain here (even though it's still hot) so, I shall face my window and read read read! :)

Hope you have a great week and try to keep cool!

A little more:

I have been wicked excited to read Second Chance Summer and I plan on spending most of tomorrow reading it. I loved Morgan Matson's 1st book, Amy & Roger's Epic Detour and couldn't wait to get my hands on this one. I had to get it from the library as soon as it was available.

I have Cross My Heart on my kindle, but who wouldn't want that gorgeous cover in a physical book!? 

Snowbound With a Stranger is an adult book, but it sounds interesting, mediocre at best, but still... interesting.

As you can see I collect TOO many books to keep up with, so hopefully this will be my last week of this ridiculousness! I need to read!

A little more:

-Sadly, I haven't read any of the books from the The Morganville Vampires series & Black Dawn is #12 in the series. It's a series I would like to read eventually. I wish I could read and review this before it's May 1st release date.

-I hadn't heard about Silence before it being sent to me. But it sounds good and I very well may read it once I finish Someone Else's Life. Which I am enjoying right now. A little twisted, but I like that! 

-I think, of all of these, I'm most excited about Gilt by Katherine Longshore!

This Week in Books (001)

1. Fire Baptized by Kenya Wright (for review on goodchoicereading) 
2. Vampire's Kiss (The Watchers #2) by Veronica Wolff (for review from publisher)
3. Isle of Night (The Watchers #1) by Veronica Wolff (Barnes & Noble)
4. The Long Way Home (Homelanders #2) by Andrew Klavan (Barnes & Noble)
5. Pleasure Unbound (Demonica #1) by Larissa Ione (Barnes & Noble)

A little more:

-After receiving Vampire's Kiss, I decided I must read the first book before I could read this one. I'd never heard of the book but they sounded interesting. :)

-I've read and loved the first book in the Homelanders series, The Last Thing I Remember... full of action. Non-stop action! It's a fantastic break from all of the paranormal and romance that gets to be too much!

-Fire Baptized is a book I'm actually really looking forward to and will link you to my review when I'm done! :)

-Damaris from Good Choice Reading suggested a Larissa Ione book when I was stuck at Barnes & Noble last night and didn't know what else to get. So, I picked up Pleasure Unbound by her. I'm thinking it may be exactly what I was looking for.
