Bloggin 'Bout Books Blog

This week's Top Ten Thursday is all about what books I'm looking forward to in 2015. And I'm going to be honest, I haven't been keeping my eyes on what books come out next year, so this was a really interesting week for me! I got to take a look at other people's wishlists and check out what Amazon has in their coming soon pile. Here are the ten books that I came up with. But since I have like four final papers to work on, I'm just going to link to the Goodreads descriptions. Saint Anything Fairest Winter The Shadow Cabinet All the Bright Places Beastkeeper Winds of Winter (SOMEDAY MAYBE) No Parking at The End Times The Winner's Crime The Heir That's it lovelies! Tell me what you're looking forward to in the comments. Hope any of you with school finals approaching do well!!!

Another Top Ten Tuesday here brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish . This week's topic is... Top Ten Sequels I'm Dying to Read 1. Winner's Crime ( and since I've already read that one, Winner's Trilogy #3) : Like, okay, the first book was good ,but wow that second book. I want to talk about it to other people!! 2. The Winds of Winter: Desperately need to find out what happens to all my favorite characters. I NEED MORE GEORGE. 3. Dark House #2: The first book left so much open to continue!

Hello Lovelies! Another week, another Top Ten Tuesday, brought to you as always by The Broke and the Bookish .  This week's topic is... Top Ten Characters I Wish Had Their Own Book Miss Honey from Matilda. : Her story is really flushed out for the movie, but can you imagine a book about her trials growing up and then her becoming a teacher to help kids like her? So good. Wren from Fangirl : What's it like growing up knowing you're the second half of a name? And what about life made her desert the Simon Snow world?  Any of the ghosts from Liv, Forever: The snippets we got from them weren't enough. I want to know their whole story!! Alice from The Magicians.: This might have been much more interesting of a story for me if the protagonist was female. I couldn't stand Quentin. But maybe gender has nothing to do with it since even Martin Chatwin's story would have been a billion times more interesting to me. Marlee from The Selection : Marlee'...

Welcome to the rest of my book review round-up for this last month! I have no idea how I got so behind on these, but holy cow, it got bad there. I promise to try to never let it get this backed up again. Here's the rest of what I'm been reading lately! No One Else Can Have You by Kathleen Hale : This was a hard one for me. I originally wanted to read it pretty much just based on its cover, but then I found out it came from James Frey's writer sweatshop, so then I didn't want to read it, but I eventually caved. Morals?

I found Kippy pretty obnoxious as a character. Her entire town seemed really ...
