September TBR

This month I have decided to go with a theme outside of my reading challenge for this month. I have not had the experience of diving into children's fiction and I know there are some really great stories out there in children fiction. I have read the Spiderwick Chronicles and the review for that will be posted in a few days. These are pretty short so I think I can get them in.

For this month I am going to work on Children series
Beyonders Chronicles) by Brandon Mull -A World Without Heroes (bk1)
                                                                  -Seed of Rebellion (bk2)
                                                                  - Chasing the Prophecy (bk3)










The Theodosa Throckmorton series by R.L. LaFevers -Theodosia and the Serpents Chaos
                                                                                       -Theodosia and the Staff of Osiris
                                                                                      -Theodosia and the Eyes of Horus
                                                                                       -Theodosia and the Last Pharaoh












Now if you don't know about Tackle Your TBR  Read-a-thon hosted by Wishful Endings it is a two week read-a-thon for you to get through books that are on your TBR pile. It will be from September 12th-16. There are open discussions on goodreads about the books you want to read. I can already tell its going to be great. Here is my list

1.) DragonMark by Sherrilyn Kenyon
2.)Vicious by V.E. Schwab
3.)A Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
4.)And I Darken by Kiersten White
5.)This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab

Some of these I have been struggling with to finish. It is taking me forever to get through This savage song but its coming along. Also I have been a huge reading slump and it seems never ending. Keeping my fingers crossed that it ends because there is so much that I want to get my hands on.

The Mister Book Review

Goodreads synopsis:  London, 2019. Life has been easy for Maxim Trevelyan. With his good looks, aristocratic connections, and money, heā€™s never had to work and heā€™s rarely slept alone. But all that changes when tragedy strikes and Maxim inherits his familyā€™s noble title, wealth, and estates, and all the responsibility that entails. Itā€™s a role heā€™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 whoā€™s recently arrived in England, possessing little more than a dangerous and troublesome past.  Reticent, beautiful, and musically gifted, sheā€™s an alluring mystery, and Maximā€™s longing for her deepens into a passion that heā€™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 heā€™s been hiding secrets of his own?   I will admit I did have some kind of salty...

Discussion #1 Sex in Y.A. Fiction

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?

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 ...
