Guess who has neglected reading in that week? ME!
Guess who is the laziest book blogger ever right now? ME!
In true essence I quit my job (without a back up) and have spent the week sulking and not wearing pants. But the show must go on, as must the reading. I did terribly with my July TBR.
In July I only read 5 books. Although I did have terrible readers block and only 3 were actually on my TBR. My TBR Jar pick was Wonder by R.J. Palacio but I read several chapters and decided it wasn't for me.
I also read:
Take Back the Skies by Luck Saxon 2/5 Stars (Unfinishable)
Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler 2/5 Stars
Four: A Divergent Story Collection by Veronica Roth 5/5 Stars (FAVOURITED)
Percy Jackson and The Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan 4/5 Stars (FAVOURITED)
Percy Jackson and The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan 5/5 Stars (FAVOURITED)
Honestly, I was very ambitious with my TBR! So August is gonna be a little more realistic.
My TBR Jar pick for the month is Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher.
I bought this book on a random him during a momentous book haul and I heard bad things about it so I never really picked it up, but we'll see how it goes.
Clay Jensen returns home from school to find a mysterious box with his name on it lying on his porch. Inside he discovers thirteen cassette tapes recorded by Hannah Baker, his classmate and crush who committed suicide two weeks earlier.
On tape, Hannah explains that there are thirteen reasons why she decided to end her life. Clay is one of them. If he listens, he'll find out how he made the list.
Next as I am in deep Percy Jackson hangover mode, I will be starting the Heroes of Olympus Series. The Lost Hero by Rick Riordan is the first book and I'm primarily excited to get started as I know Percy shows up in the next books. Much Excitement.
Jason has a problem. He doesn’t remember anything before waking up in a bus full of kids on a field trip. Apparently he has a girlfriend named Piper and a best friend named Leo. They’re all students at a boarding school for “bad kids.” What did Jason do to end up here? And where is here, exactly? Piper has a secret. Her father has been missing for three days, ever since she had that terrifying nightmare. Piper doesn’t understand her dream, or why her boyfriend suddenly doesn’t recognize her. When a freak storm hits, unleashing strange creatures and whisking her, Jason, and Leo away to someplace called Camp Half-Blood, she has a feeling she’s going to find out. Leo has a way with tools. When he sees his cabin at Camp Half-Blood, filled with power tools and machine parts, he feels right at home. But there’s weird stuff, too—like the curse everyone keeps talking about. Weirdest of all, his bunkmates insist that each of them—including Leo—is related to a god.
I will also be continuing the The Summer I Turned Pretty series with It's Not Summer Without You by Jenny Han and if I like it I may crack on with the next one. Its been really warm here and these books are very easy going and quick to read so they really are perfect for summer.
It used to be that Belly counted the days until summer, until she was back at Cousins Beach with Conrad and Jeremiah. But not this year. Not after Susannah got sick again and Conrad stopped caring. Everything that was right and good has fallen apart, leaving Belly wishing summer would never come.But when Jeremiah calls saying Conrad has disappeared, Belly knows what she must do to make things right again. And it can only happen back at the beach house, the three of them together, the way things used to be. If this summer really and truly is the last summer, it should end the way it started--at Cousins Beach.
And finally as an aggressive fan of this woman I am so pumped to start Landline by Rainbow Rowell. I have zero doubts that it will be beautiful and charming and will speak to my heart and make me all fluttery on the inside. Her writing has a way of doing that.
Georgie McCool knows her marriage is in trouble. That it’s been in trouble for a long time. She still loves her husband, Neal, and Neal still loves her, deeply — but that almost seems beside the point now.
Maybe that was always beside the point.
Two days before they’re supposed to visit Neal’s family in Omaha for Christmas, Georgie tells Neal that she can’t go. She’s a TV writer, and something’s come up on her show; she has to stay in Los Angeles. She knows that Neal will be upset with her — Neal is always a little upset with Georgie — but she doesn’t expect to him to pack up the kids and go home without her.
When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she’s finally done it. If she’s ruined everything.
That night, Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It’s not time travel, not exactly, but she feels like she’s been given an opportunity to fix her marriage before it starts . . .
Is that what she’s supposed to do?
Or would Georgie and Neal be better off if their marriage never happened?
So that is my TBR for the month.
