July Wrap up and August TBR

By
First of all I cannot believe that it is August. August?!? The year is almost over.
I know I'm not alone in this but the only thing that I read from my July TBR was one thing cause I got a bit side tracked. Also I had some contemporary books on that list but I've always been a mood reader and I guess July was not the month for contemporary. I do want to read them but I will later. They are a bit out of my comfort zone but I'm trying to get out of that as well. I just call them "not right now" books



I loved reading this. It was much better than the first one. I got all the feels and...omgosh I need the next one.
My Review








Ok. When I first read this book when it came out I liked it. Now I finished it and I am just so indifferent about it. It wasn't bad but the characters didn't really connect with me
My Review








O MY GOSH. There is hardly ever a time I dislike a character very much. Hate is a strong word but America was really pushing me there with this one. She is the most annoying character I have ever read. *sorry not sorry*.I literally wanted to throw the book across the room
My Review










Surprisingly out of all the trilogy as a whole, this one was better. I still do not like America whatsoever. Honestly, I don't know why I kept reading this series but the writer is a good writer and I did have to know how everything comes together at the end. Also, I wanted to finish the series because this was one that I wanted to finish.
My Review





August TBR
So, I didn't read most of the books from my July TBR but I am going to will myself to read the books that I promise myself to read. These are the ones that I will definitely read.

 I want to get a little bit out of my comfort zone and read some of the books that I mentioned in my discussion post about intimidating books. One of the genre was high fantasy. I have heard that Brandon Sanderson is a really great author and he is an automatic author buy. The reviews are great and I really can't wait to read it.








I also heard some great things about this one. There is something dark and inviting that I like about this book. I can't wait to get into it and see how this story plays out.









This was in my tbr pile for July but unfortunately life got kinda busy sooo I'm going to throw this one on here. I really want to read this. I heard that this was an absolutely good book. Also, I heard if you haven't read anything buy V.E. Schwab or Victoria Schwab then Vicious is a good book to start out with. We will see.







I didn't get a chance to read this one for the month of July. I'm still hanging in there with this one. I will read this book. I might not get through the whole series but I am going to read the first one.











So, that is all for my August TBR. I kept it short because I want to give myself time to read all the books. Once I finish then the other backup books that I have I can get to those as well. I might have a better month of reading some good books with likable characters as well.

Let me know what books you are planning to read for the month of August and what you read and your thoughts on the books for the July.

The Mister Book Review

By
Goodreads synopsis:  London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, he’s never had to work and he’s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his family’s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. It’s a role he’s not prepared for and one that he struggles to face.   But his biggest challenge is fighting his desire for an unexpected, enigmatic young woman who’s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.  Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, she’s an alluring mystery, and Maxim’s longing for her deepens into a passion that he’s never experienced and dares not name. Just who is Alessia Demachi? Can Maxim protect her from the malevolence that threatens her? And what will she do when she learns that he’s been hiding secrets of his own?   I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

Discussion #1 Sex in Y.A. Fiction

By
Working as a Young Adult Librarian, I get this questions about this topic asked a lot. These are some of the questions that I am asked. Most of the time it is the parents that come to me especially the ones that have a child that is transitioning from children's fiction to Y.A. I can understand a part of what the parent is trying to do because of the age of the child. Not all of my teens parents monitor what they read but the majority of them do. So I break it down for them 1.) Y.A. stands for Young Adult. It ranges from the ages of 12-18 but it is divided. 12-14 and 15-18. If the teen falls into the 12-14 bracket I take them to the middle school section in our childrens area because it is a lot easier to find some books that will appease both parent and teen. 2.) Not ALL Y.A. is explicit and have vulgar language. It may have a few curse words. The majority of it may have some type of high school slang or something around that area and mild language but not all Y.A. is the...

Discussion Post #3 When did you find your love for reading?

By
I have been an avid reader for a good while but I did not start out as one. In fact, I hated reading. I never gave it a chance and as I said in the previous discussion post anytime I am forced to read something it just makes me want to not read it even more. I was about 13 and I remember one of my best friends was reading Harry Potter and I asked her why was she reading it. She looked at me like I had grown an eye in the middle of my forehead. In reality all I was seeing was the length of the book. At the time, I was very intimidated by how long a book was. Fast forward a couple of years I went to a library program and they were showing Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets. Long story short....I loved the movie. The librarian told me if I loved the movie I would most definitely love the book. I checked them out and I totally understood why my best friend loved them. They were simply amazing and I so desperately wanted my letter to come in the mail. I went into a reading slump ...
