The year is coming to a close... Already?
My last post on this blog was 2014, which I cannot believe. My blog has fallen into a state of neglect due to the untold craziness of 2015, exams and work and school and all of the things have just blocked me from doing something that I truly love. And that kind of sucks. But now I am determined to write on this blog as much as I can and make sure that I don't abandon it, because I truly love it. So today I thought I would do a TBR of sorts, with only just over a month left of the year I want to get as much reading done as possible; these are the books I would like to tackle first...
Popular by Maya Van Wagenen
I started this memoir back in the summer and was loving it, but other books got in the way until I completely forgot about it! This is a non-fiction account of Maya Van Wagenen who finds an old fashion guide on 'how to be popular'; and so she decides to follow everything the book tells her to do. I absolutely loved reading Maya's story and so I really need to finish it before the end of the year! I really recommend this book, Maya writes so beautifully and I had to keep reminding myself that this actually happened. I have so much respect for Maya and if she writes anything else in the future I would be extremely inclined to pick it up.
Winter by Marissa Meyer
I have waited all year for this book to come out and now I finally have it- the excitement is unreal. You have probably heard of the Lunar Chronicles, the wonderful sci-fi series by Marissa Meyer, but if not- you must read it! The first book follows Cinder, a cyborg mechanic. The series just keeps getting better and better as you go along! After finishing Cress, Winter became one of my most anticipated books of the year. From what I have read, I am seriously not disappointed. I'm 200 pages in and could not have wished for more, I will definitely be finishing this by the end of the year and will be crying when its over!
The Final Empire by Brandon Sanderson
A book that everyone is obsessed with. I feel like I'm the only one who hasn't read this, I bought it at the beginning of the year and its just been sat on my shelf waiting. Maybe its the sheer size of it that threatens me, but I just need to get to it! I want to read at least half of it before 2016, I guess we'll see. I can honestly say that I have not heard one bad thing about this series, I hope that I love it as much as everyone else! I don't know too much about this book and I don't want to try and give you a summary because I will probably make a complete mess of it. I can tell you this: Its high fantasy and it has a gorgeous cover... Cover love is real.
So those are three books that I really want to get to before the end of the year. Its not a huge amount but obviously I will be picking up other books aside from these. I hope you enjoyed this blog post and thankyou so much for reading, I will have another post up soon!
