I PLAN TO READ (2)

Hey everyone, and welcome back to my blog. As most of you may already know from my previous post, I have been out of my reading game recently. However, I have started to get back into reading and I am so excited to finally tackle my TBR! Although I do have a very busy schedule planned for March, I am hoping to make enough time to read these 5 books!

Before I FallBefore I Fall by Lauren Oliver:
This is actually my current read, but I don’t know if I will be able to finish it before the start of March. My last week of February is so busy that I don’t even know if I will have any reading time. But, I am currently about a third into this book and I am really enjoying it! I remember when there was so much hype around this book when the movie released, and it is totally worth it. Lauren Oliver has created such a unique story line that is worth reading. I cannot wait to see how this book ends!

Furyborn (Empirium, #1)Furyborn by Claire Legrand:
I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this book back in January from Sourcebooks Fire! I don’t actually know how I was able to snag a copy, since this book literally seems like the next fantasy hit. But I am super excited to read this book and share my thoughts with all of you before the release date (May 22nd). I haven’t read a fantasy book in forever, so I am super excited to dive into a new one! And, I have heard that there is a bi main character in this book, which I have never read about before. Let’s hope that this book lives up to all of the 5 star ARC reviews it has!

The Thousandth Floor (The Thousandth Floor, #1)The Thousandth Floor by Katherine McGee:
Okay, I am pretty sure that this book has been on every TBR list I have made since November, but I still haven’t re-started it yet! As some of you may remember, I started reading this book back in October, gave it a short break, and ended up forgetting everything that happened. Ever since then, I have been trying to re-start it, since I know that I WILL really enjoy this book. During March, I am going on a vacation so I might bring this book along with me to read on the plane rides, during the layovers and during any down time.

Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms, #1)Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes:
Alaina is bringing back the fantasy books this month! I have been in such a contemporary kick for the past few months, but I think it is time I get back to some of the fantasy books that I have been ignoring on my shelves. I bought Falling Kingdoms back in December, I believe, and it was the first time I have EVER seen it at Chapters. One of my favorite bookstagrammers (Caden at A Thousand Books To Read) has raved about this book and this series and I cannot wait to see if I will also enjoy it! I’ve heard it described as the YA version of Game of Thrones, which should be interesting.

And I Darken (The Conqueror's Saga, #1)And I Darken by Kiersten White:
Fun fact: I have owned this book as long as I have owned Falling Kingdoms, and I know literally nothing about this book. It was a hardcover that was on sale for $6, so I couldn’t resist picking it up. Alike Falling Kingdoms, I have had this on my shelves for a few months now. However, I keep putting it off because of its size. This book is huge and intimidating, especially when you are a student like me who gets homework almost every night. But, I want to try to squeeze this book in during March because I absolutely cannot wait to see what all of the hype is about!

And that’s it for today’s post! What do you plan to read in March? Have you read any of the books in this post? Let me know your thoughts about them! Don’t forget to like, comment and follow my blog to stay up to date with my future posts!

January 2018 TBR!

JANUARY TBR.png

Hey everyone! Today I am going to be talking about some of the books I plan to read this month. Although I have a VERY hectic month planned, I have a bunch of amazing books that I am hoping to get to. Some are even re-reads! Let’s get straight into the books.

Onyx (Lux, #2)Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I am actually currently re-reading this book and loving it! This is my fourth re-read of the book, and so far it is the best one yet. The first time I read it, I wasn’t a huge fan of it, but I still loved it. But since then, each re-read just keeps getting better and better. I absolutely love the development of Katy and Daemon’s relationship in this novel and the addition of a new character who could possibly even be counted as an antagonist? No spoilers from me!

Opal (Lux, #3)Opal by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Another re-read. This is actually a close favorite of mine in the Lux series, only second to Obsidian. And I’m pretty sure you all know how much I love that book. But, this book is seriously AMAZING! Compared to both Obsidian and Onyx, this is when Katy and Daemon’s relationship escalated and we got all of the romance that you could ever want! I cannot wait to jump back into this fantastic book again. Although the ending is as bad as the one in Empire of Storms, I still love this book!

Origin (Lux, #4)Origin by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Hello? Have you got the hint with the past two books? This is, yet again, another re-read. Last time I read this book, I do remember it being quite a bit slower than the first three books. But, it isn’t SUPER slow so I think I will be okay with it in January. If anything a slow book would kill my reading vibe in such a busy month. But, this book is filled with SHOCKING information and lots of romance to keep my attention. Ooh, and did I mention a bit of violence? Count me in!

Opposition (Lux, #5)Opposition by Jennifer L. Armentrout
Well, there truly isn’t such thing of re-reading a series without finishing it.  This, obviously is the last book in Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Lux series, and I will admit, it is the worst. It’s not bad or anything, but it is very different compared to the rest of the series. Once you get about 100 pages into this book, it starts to lighten up. By lighten up, I mean that it becomes more familiar. I still love this book, no matter how different it is from the rest of the series and am super excited to re-read this series ending!

Shadows (Lux, #0.5)Shadows by Jennifer L. Armentrout
You’re probably thinking “What, I thought you were just talking about the finale…” Well, I was. But, if you know anything about the Lux series, this is actually the prequel to the series. It’s a little strange to read a prequel AFTER the other series, but you can truly read it anywhere in this series. And, this is actually one of my favorite prequels ever. It features two of my favorite characters in the Lux series, Bethany and Dawson, prior to Obsidian. Like heck yea, count me in!

Falling Kingdoms (Falling Kingdoms, #1)Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes
Ooooh, finally something that’s not a re-read. But, I picked this up from Chapters in November, I believe, and have been super excited to read it. Originally, I wasn’t even expecting to buy it. My local Chapters never has this book in stock, so when I was looking for a book to buy, I just knew I NEEDED to get it. Who knows how long it would have been before someone else bought it. I still know little to nothing about this book, but have heard wicked reviews raving about it!

The Thousandth Floor (The Thousandth Floor, #1)The Thousandth Floor by Katherine McGee
I actually received this book as a birthday gift from one of my really good friends back in October. Usually books that I am really interested in reading don’t sit and get covered in dust on my bookshelf. But, I actually gave this book a go in November. It wasn’t that it was bad. It was actually really good. However, I thought that a reading break was really important and decided to prioritize it, rather than the book. I plan to either re-pick it up or re-start the book during January and I cannot wait!

And that is it for my January TBR! It is definitely pretty hefty for such a busy month ahead, but it could be doable. A lot of the books on this list are re-reads (OBVIOUSLY) so I will breeze straight through them. Have you set a January TBR? Let me know what you plan to read in the comments!
