JANUARY TBR

It’s a new year and once again I’m going to try and post at least once a week so what better way to start out the year with my January TBR.

Right now I am participating in Bout of book 12.0 which I am completely failing at so more likely than not I will not complete all of these books.

The book I am currently reading is Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo. I have almost completed this book and after this I am hoping to round of the series by completing Ruin and Rising.

                     

After I complete this series I would like to read the Bookspolsion book of the month which is The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson.

I am hoping at least get to here this month but if I am successful in completing the grisha trilogy this week as a part of bout of books, I would like to see if I can get through Burial rites by Hannah Kent and Angel Fall by Susan Ee.

So hopefully I will be able to keep to this and complete my January 2015 TBR I am hoping to continue with creating monthly TBRs to help me complete 50 books by the end of 2015.

BOOK SHELF TOUR

Today I’ve decided to show you guys my book shelves! (*warning book porn*). Now this is only the book shelf that I have at my mums, I have another at my dad’s, and when I move out next year I will be able to reunite all my books, (something I’m extremely happy about).

This book shelf is not in my room sadly but in the hallway near the toilet… which I hate but unfortunately there is no room in my room.

The books below are the books are the books I’m currently live beside my bed as well I have no room on the shelf.

My top shelf is my middle grade/children books.

My second shelf consists mostly of my YA

As does the next

My last shelf is my “adult books” not really but slightly different from the rest.

I hope you enjoyed this little tour of book shelf please note this is not all of them these are only the ones at my mothers.

If you are interested in any of the books just leave a comment and I could tell you about them or give you some recommendations.

Also i just uploaded a little video on  YouTube channel of this book shelf tour so go and check that out.

August Wrap Up

Now while in my past post I was a little hard on myself saying that haven’t finished a book in august when in fact I finished four for school (which I reread for my trials)  so in total I read four for school and one for enjoyments sake – so five. Which still kinda sucks but oh well…

So in the month of August I finished;

•          City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare
•          Frankenstein by Mary Shelly
•          The Justice Game by Geoffrey Robertson
•          Immigrant Chronicle by Peter Skrzynecki
•      And a random Top Notes study book for Frankenstein and Blade Runner

So this month I’m not really going to set myself a set TBR pile but just read off my overall TBR pile, because I’m really not sure what I’m in the mood for, so I will wait and see.

I'm sorry i haven't been posting a lot lately, i underestimated just how crazy school was about to get, and i'll tell you i haven't finished a book this month, yeah, that crazy busy.... I will hopefully finish at least two of the three that i planned reading this month (now this is a really big hope..).

I'm planning on now trying to get at least one post a week (if not more) from now on.
