Stacking the Shelves [11]

Go over to Tynga's Reviews and join in on the fun!

HEY HEY HEY! This week wasn't too bad. Although, I'm not really getting many books. The past week, I've gotten only 3-5 books a week. I was looking at release dates, and it seems as though a lot of books are releasing the week of the 17th.

So, anyways, what I got this week...

From the Library!

• Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
• Tempest by Julie Cross

Ebook!

• Florence by Ciye Cho

You see! I didn't get much. I couldn't find much that I wanted from the library. Plus, I currently have this huge stack of books in my room that I need to read! 

Now watch the video! And you can hear me talk about the books I got this week!

Waiting On Wednesday [2]

This is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine! It features a upcoming releases.

What am I "Waiting On" this week? Well, read below to find out what book I'm waiting on!

Shades of Earth (Across the Universe #3) by Beth Revis

Release date: January 15th, 2013

Summary from Goodreads:

Amy and Elder have finally left the oppressive walls of the spaceship Godspeed behind. They're ready to start life afresh–to build a home–on Centauri-Earth, the planet that Amy has traveled 25 trillion miles across the universe to experience.

But this new Earth isn't the paradise Amy had been hoping for. There are giant pterodactyl-like birds, purple flowers with mind-numbing toxins, and mysterious, unexplained ruins that hold more secrets than their stone walls first let on. The biggest secret of all? Godspeed's former passengers aren't alone on this planet. And if they're going to stay, they'll have to fight.

Amy and Elder must race to discover who–or what–else is out there is they are to have any hope of saving their struggling colony and building a future together. They will have to look inward to the very core of what makes them human on this, their most harrowing journey yet. Because if the colony collapses? Then everything they have sacrificed–friends, family, life on Earth–will have been for nothing. 

FUELED BY LIES.

RULED BY CHAOS.

ALMOST HOME.

I have been highly anticipating this ending in the trilogy since January, when book 2 of the series released. I cannot wait to find out how is all wraps up, how it'll end...and of course, who has Beth Revis killed off now? 

The summary says "Godspeed's former passengers aren't alone on this planet. And if they're going to stay, they'll have to fight." OHH! A battle will most likely take place, I like that! I already have that feeling that this book will be amazing. And hey, it's released just a few days before my birthday!

Hey guys! How's it going? My week was pretty good. Hope to hear about yours!

I got a couple of e-books this week and one book from the library. But I've been reading a lot, so don't worry, i'll have a whole bunch of reviews filling up the month of December.

What I Got From The Library...

• The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin—This is the second book in the Mara Dyer trilogy. The first book was amazing, and I requested this one right away. I couldn't wait to to read it! 

I Got Ebooks!!!

• Unlikely Allies by Tiffany King—I got these ebooks at the beginning of the week, and I've already read this one. It was pretty good, I can say I really enjoyed reading it. 
• Exiled by Rashelle Workman—I saw this on Goodreads about 3 months ago and added it to my to-read shelf. I've been waiting to read it, but never got it. And now I have! 

So, I got three books this week. I've already read one of them. And I finished up Alice in Zombieland by Gena Showalter, leaving that to be reviewed soon. Sorry, Unlikely Allies isn't up for review. The reviews that will definitely be posted this month are Exiled and Shift by M.R. Merrick. Also I'm reviewing the third book in the Protector Series by M.R. Merrick, Release, for a blog tour. Be sure to check back on December 30th, my date!

The review of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and The Shadow Society will also definitely be reviewed in December. Some other unplanned ones may be Of Poseidon, For Darkness Shows the Stars, and Defiance!

Be on the look out for those! And I'll talk to you guys next time. Bye!

Waiting On Wednesday [1]

This is a weekly event hosted by Breaking the Spine! It features a upcoming releases.

Hey all! This is my first Waiting on Wednesday post! What I'm featuring today is...

Opal (Lux #3) by Jennifer Armentrout
Release date: December 18th, 2012

Summary from Goodreads:

No one is like Daemon Black.

When he set out to prove his feelings for me, he wasn't fooling around. Doubting him isn't something I'll do again, and now that we've made it through the rough patches, well...There's a lot of spontaneous combustion going on.

But even he can't protect his family fro the danger of trying to free those they love.

After everything, I'm not longer the same Katy. I'm different...And I'm not sure what that will mean in the end. When each step we take in discovering the truth puts us in the path of the secret organization responsible for torturing and testing hybrids, the more I realize there is no end to what I'm capable of. The death of someone close still lingers, help comes from the most unlikely source, and friends will become the deadliest of enemies, but we won't turn back. Even if the outcome will shatter our worlds forever.

Together we're stronger...and they know it.

I'm extremely excited for this book to come out because I LOVE Jennifer Armentrout. Her Lux Series and Covenant Series are amazing! And look, I only have to wait about another 20 days! I've already pre-ordered my copy of Opal. I'm really eagerly awaiting this book.

Stacking the Shelves [9]

Go over to Tynga's Reviews and join in on the fun!

Hello! What's up?! So, I didn't really get anything this week because I usually take a trip to the library on Thursday, but I was celebrating Thanksgiving and the library wasn't open. So, I have decided to find some books in my house that I have yet to read and, of course, read them!

**Click the title! You'll be directed to it's Goodreads page**

Unread Books on My Shelf That I Haven't Read Yet, But Will Read...

• Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling —Ok, yes, I have not read this yet. My mom has read every single one, and they're all on my bookshelf, but I have never touched them. And I've heard such great things about them. I don't even know why I haven't read them. I keep telling myself I'll get to it, but I get so preoccupied all the new books being released. But I am now going to read it!!!
• Uglies by Scott Westerfeld —This is actually my sister's book, but I'm borrowing it because I've seen so many great reviews and have heard amazing things about it. I think it's about time I read this and see what it's all about. 
• Pandemonium by Lauren Oliver —So I actually have the ARC form of this because I won it on Goodreads before it came out, but I never read it...whoops. So I'm thinking I should read it before Requiem comes out. I LOVED the first book, Delirium. I just have no idea why I didn't read this yet.  

See, just because I don't go to the library or buy books doesn't mean I have nothing the read! I need to take a break from all the new stuff and get started on the books I haven't touch, but own! It surprises me how many books I own but have never read. 

Sorry guys, no video this week. But I explained everything I would have said in my video up there!
