2018 TBR

Here are some of the books that I want to read in 2018. I'm sure I won't get to some and I will choose to read others, but here it is anyhow.


Made You Up ~Francesca Zappia

This book surrounds a character who suffers from schizophrenia that has been at bay for awhile but as it resurfaces she has to figure out how to deal with it. It sounds like it is going to be a great perspective on mental illness and one that we don't get very often either.

The Thing With Feathers ~ Hoyle McCall

The main character suffers from epilepsy and has been homeschooled but now that she has been able to get it under control, she is starting public school with her seizure dog by her side. She wants to hide her condition but how much is she really going to be able to hide?

Love, Hate, and Other Filters ~ Samira Ahmed

The main character is a Muslim American but she doesn't feel as though she fits in with either of those cultures. She is artistic and independent but she still wants to please her parents who are very close to their Muslim culture. 

The Art of Holding On and Letting Go ~ Kristin Lenz

The main character, Cara, is thrust from a nomadic life with her parents after tragedy strikes and forced to start a quaint life with her grandparents. She has to deal with whatever the tragedy is, as well as cope with first love, friendships, and other life things. 

Dear Martin ~ Nic Stone

I was obsessed with The Hate You Give by Angie Thomas and have been informed that this is a different yet similar take on the issues experienced in that novel. That is all I need to know.

I Am Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter ~  Erika L. Sanchez

She has ambitions but her family would never accept her pursuing them. 

The President is Missing ~ Bill Clinton and James Patterson

I only want to read this because I am obsessed with everything by James Patterson and the fact that former president Bill Clinton co-wrote this is incredibly intriguing.

History Is All You Left Me ~ Adam Silvera

I've heard amazing things about this book and about this author. It's about a boy who's ex-boyfriend dies and the only person who understands his pain, is his ex-boyfriends current boyfriend. I'm curious how that relationship will be.

The Nowhere Girls ~ Amy Reed

This seems to be a new take on how girls come together to avenge the sexual assault on one of their own and happen to take on the whole mysogonistic culture itself.

Under Rose-Tainted Skies ~Louise Gornall

This follows a the story of a girl who is afraid to leave her home and how she faces those fears with the help of an unlikely friend.

Far From The Tree ~Robin Benway

This is about adopted siblings who find eachother at just the right point and that is all I want to know. I have a fascination with the adoption system, the types of relations that come about when biological siblings or parents are reunited, etc.

Stalking Jack The Ripper ~ Kerri Maniscalco

I've heard some really good things about this from so many of the booktubers that I follow. If I like it, I will move on to the second installment, Hunting Prince Dracula.

I also want to finish the Game of Thrones series by George R.R. Martin

I've read the first book and am slowly making my way through the second.I'm enjoying it but as the world is so complex and the books are so long

I'm hoping that I can read all of these and more but we will see where it goes! What are you guys looking forward to reading in 2018? Keep up with my reading on my new Goodreads page. I made a new one that isn't synced to my kindle because that has my textbooks on it and it was annoying me that they were being entered into my profile.

August 2016 TBR

This is going to be another very slow reading month. Thankfully, one of my jobs is finished on the 11th, which may give me a bit of extra time, but I move into college on the 25th and my classes start on the 29th, so do not hold me to that.

Les Miserables

This is something that has been on my TBR for ages and I really want to read it before college starts because I know that once college starts I will not have time to immerse myself in such a lengthy piece of literature. It is over 1000 pages. 

12 Years A Slave

This is another book that has been on my TBR for a while and with all of the racial issues going on in this country, thee USA, currently, I felt that it was time that I got to it. 

July 2016 TBR

I've started both of the books on this list, so hopefully, I will finish both of them.

The Secret Circle book 2 - fantasy

Yes Please - memoir

June 2016 TBR

As I said in my May Wrap Up, I don't foresee the summer being great for reading. I am graduating high school on June 24th; therefore, I have a lot of school related activities going on. I am going to NYC for the first time to see two separate Broadway shows with my best friend I am also beginning my first job of the summer. I will be working three jobs at one point this summer. I do plan on reading but it is going to be a slow paced thing for me. I will no longer be able to read a book a week, or as I did this past weekend, in a day.

The Women's Murder Club book 15

This is my most beloved series by James Patterson and my most beloved mystery/crime series of all time!! I thought that it was ending after the 14th novel but as I was walking through Walmart today I happened to glance down the pitiful book aisle and immediately saw it. I bought it without a second thought!!

The Secret Circle book 2

This was on my TBR last month but I never got to it as I chose to read Emancipated by M.G. Reyes instead. Hopefully, I will get around to it this month. 

May 2016 TBR

Hello my lovelies,

I have to admit, I won't have much time to read this month. I have my Senior Prom this weekend, my Senior Trip next weekend, and a bunch of school projects but I will try my best; therefore, this is a small TBR. 

I became obsessed with the CW TV show on Netflix to find out that it only had one season and I didn't like who ended up with who nor how anything else ended; so I have moved onto the books in hopes that they develop in the way that I want. This is the first bind up of novel one and the first half of novel two in the series. 

     

This is the second bind up in the series.

I have been meaning to read this memoir for a very long time. Malala is a huge inspiration to me and I am really looking forward to some eye-opening passages.

Until next month,

Angel

P.S. Tell me what you think of these books if you have read them.
