Current Reads 11/12/15

Blogmas Day 11
Its been a long week, so I plan to fill all of my free time this weekend with reading (inbetween the work, baby sitting and essays) I feel like I haven't read enough recently and I need to redeem that! So here is what I am currently reading or am about to read...

Twenty Boy Summer by Sarah Ockler

I have had this book for a couple of weeks and the whole time I have been stretching my fingers towards it in desperation wanting to get to it. I feel like this is a book I want to read when I have some time to do it, as a result I didn't want to start it whilst at school. So I'm waiting for Friday when it will finally be the Christmas holidays (yesss). I love Sarah Ockler so much and this is one of the three of her novels which I haven't yet read. I have absolutely no idea of what this book is about so I'm pretty excited about it. Maybe its not the perfect time to read it, as you may have noticed the word 'summer' is in the title- not great considering we are in the depths of winter. But I can just pretend I live in Australia where it is currently summer. I hope I love Twenty Boy Summer as much as the other Sarah Ockler books I have read.


Ugly Love by Colleen Hoover

This is the book I currently have on the go, so far I'm about 10% in and I'm enjoying it, but I'm not yet addicted like I was with Colleen's other book 'Slammed'. I have been waiting to read this book for what feels like forever, I've heard amazing things about it. I also think (if I'm not mistaken) that this is being turned into a film, so thats also something to look forward to if I love this book, which I'm hoping I will.  It seems like I'm in a big contemporary mood at the moment judging by these two books, both are novels I've been dying to read though, so I think its mainly a coincidence.


Rumors by Anna Godbersen

This one is not a contemporary so welldone to me for mixing it up a bit. Rumors is the second book in The Luxe series, which is a historical fiction which is described as a historic version of Gossip Girl, which I can kind of agree with. I really enjoyed Luxe, the first book, so I hope Rumors is just as good. Because I read Luxe about a year and a half ago I really want to read this before I completely forget everything which happened in the first book. If you are looking for Gossip Girl set in another century, then maybe look into the Luxe series, its really enjoyable but don't expect to much historical accuracy!

So those are all the books I'm going to be reading, hopefully due to the Christmas holidays I will have a little more time to read and as a result pick up more books. Thankyou for reading this post, I will have a post up tomorrow for another day of Blogmas, see you then,
