May TBR

Image
This post is more so I can attempt to pull myself out of a reading slump that has lasted THREE MONTHS. The worst (and only bad thing) about being an English major is that you have so much reading to do that once I read all that, I'm too tired to read anything else. But here are the books I want to read in May Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare I have been putting off reading this because I know as soon as I finish this I am going to be reaching for the next book. Problem: It's not out yet. But now that it's coming out, I can finally read this book without scratching my hair out and DYING because the next book isn't out yet. I know this book  will be good because when isn't Cassandra Clare good? I can't wait.  Pandemonium and Requiem  by Lauren Oliver Look at me reading things on my 2017 Ultimate TBR. I've finally pushed myself to a point where I can maybe pick up these books and read them. I should've read it ages ago but I did that...

Who doesn't love enveloping themselves in a wonderful world and imagining themselves in them (unless you're reading The Hunger Games , if so disregard that last statement) I have loads of book series however that I have not finished because I am a failure and you know...life gets busy.

But I have barely put it down since I've started reading the first book. I did, I will admit I did put it down after Book 3. City of Glass because it's halfway through the series and the book ended on such a great happy note and I really don't fancy the next book ripping my heart out. But I've started the next book now, City of Fallen Angel...

August: Read, Reading & To Be Read

Hello! My inner bookworm usually hibernates during the school term but recently it's come out like the social butterfly I am! It has been thrilling, so I thought I'd share with you three books; one I have finished reading, one I'm in the middle of reading and one I've yet to read but will start reading this month Read: The book that I have finished reading is The Well by Elizabeth Jolley. I had to read this book for school and let me tell you, it was haunting! It's a Gothic novel and I don't mean Gothic, dress style Gothic, I mean Gothic as in genre Gothic. The book is about an elderly woman named Hester Harper and the young girl she adopts named Katherine (I don't know if adopt is the right word because she sort of just brings her home and labels her as her own) Eventually Hester gets older and so does Katherine and things start to change. Not to mention Hester's sexuality too. No one, even Hester knows what she wants in terms of gender. This is j...
