Hey everyone! Sorry for not posting yesterday… I got behind on posts and I’ve lost my MIND over The Lunar Chronicles, GOSH. WHAT IS IT DOING TO ME OMG. I also haven’t done a stacking the shelves in forever because I haven’t gotten anymore books lately! I HAVE NO NEED. I have five bazillion of them I need to read but right now I’m completely transfixed with The Lunar Chronicles… and I may or may not have a huge crush on Wolf. (He’s my favorite, imagine that.) Speaking of, my review for Scarlet will be up Monday!
Dear neighborhood kids passing by as I stood in the middle of my yard in bunny slippers for this picture: don’t judge. We all have our quirks and mine happens to be taking pictures of books in my pajamas. I know what you’re thinking, “that weird home-school girl again.” But it turned about super cute and I DON’T CARE.*
*Kay maybe I care a little bit but LEAVE ME & MY BABIES ALONE.
Winter by Marissa Meyer: OMG I CAN’T YOU GUYS. I DON’T WANT THIS SERIES TO END BUT I MUST FINISH. I’m at 230/550 pages into Cress, the third book in the series, and… I’m dying. Ohhhh my gosssshhh. Plus: Wolf. And Thorne. (Oh and thanks, mom, for buying this for me!! Otherwise I would have been in debt because – Christmas gifts burning up my wallet, urgh – and I NEED THIS NOW. Love you! xoxo)
Scarlet by Marissa Meyer: Much better than Cinder, in my opinion… though I did love still having Cinder and Kai’s perspectives in it. Review coming to you Monday! Wherein I flip out over WOLF. Can somebody wrap him up for me for Christmas? because… I’d love you forever.
Cress by Marissa Meyer: EEP I love Cress! She’s a lot more like me than Cinder or Scarlet and I totally love her and Thorne together. Can’t wait to finish!
Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard: I was standing in the checkout line at Sam’s buying (okay MOM buying) Winter and and the cashier noticed the book and said “Oh I need to get my daughter to read this.” I then proceeded to squeal and tell her how good it was and she said if I liked The Lunar Chronicles I needed to read Red Queen. And, SURPRISE, I already had it at home! I’m excited to see what this is like… I have no idea what to expect but if it’s anything at all like The Lunar Chronicles I’ll be hooked.
Going Rogue by Robin Benway: I read the first in the Also Known As series in September in… a day? (Creds to Trisha for the amazing recommendation) It was AMAZING. Super light and all fluff, but also captivating and mysterious! I’m anxious to read this after The Lunar Chronicles, because I may need to give my heart a break… (it’s currently breaking into a thousand tiny pieces, just sayin’. Thanks a lot guys.) But on another note, it has Jesse and Maggie and they are positively cuteness overload.
The Teashop Girls by Laura Schaefer: Errrmm… I’ve heard/seen this around a little but haven’t picked it up, just because I had so many other books (with lots of recommendations behind them) waiting for me. I just didn’t really want to waste any time on a book I hadn’t heard much about and/or wasn’t sure would be good or not. BUT it does look adorable and again, I may need a lighter read after The Lunar Chronicles. I can absolutely see myself loving this a few years ago, so maybe I’ll enjoy it. 🙂
what books did you get this week? and what do you think of mine? and peoples: talk to me about the lunar chronicles! i’m in LOOOOVE.
Yay!!! You’re hooked!! OMG YOU ARE GOING TO LOVELOVELOVELOVEEEE WINTER AND ASDFGHJKLSJ I JUST CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO READ IT DNDJJEJEMSK.
can you just put all you TLC reviews up in a consecutive week so I can literally fangirl ALL WEEK?!
I’ve read the teashop girls and The secret ingredient (the second book) I like the two books because a) food b) fluffyness c) blogging. (In the second book anyway) and d) food.
I would have liked it a lot more if I read it when I was 12 its cute and light but too many loose ends. I hope you have better luck with it than I did.
YES I AM SO HOOKED YOU DON’T EVEN KNOW IZEL HELP ME. AHH. I’m currently reading Winter right now annnnd… omsssss. EEP can’t wait to finish! But at the same time I just do not want to say goodbye to these characters.
Haha I would, but then I wouldn’t have any reviews after that and I’ve already put up Cinder and Scarlet. XD Although I can promise you I’ll find a way to include something about TLC in every single post for the next few weeks, just you wait. I’m obsessed!
I agree, I would have liked it more a few years ago too. I’m sure it will be cute though. 🙂
OMG! You are hooked too? The teashop girls is an AMAZING BOOK! WOW!
I love your reviews Emily!
xoxo, Shraddha
YES I AM!
Oh, good, glad to hear that. I can’t wait to see what it’s like!
Aww thanks Shraddha. That means bunch. 🙂
OMIGOD – Scarlet has me going crazy. So I’ve just started on Cress and I think I need to just have a cry session or maybe go crazy and try to stop time. I don’t know!
Also, I’m blushing like a tomato because of that mention. Also, Going Rouge is super fluffy! I feel like there should be another book after it, but nothing has been confirmed.
Ok, so I REALLY REALLY NEED THE SELECTION. LIKE SUPER BAD. However, there are like 20 holds on it in my county, and I’m really hoping I get it for the christmas gift swap or for Christmas itself, but I doubt my parents know the first thing about getting me books for Christmas. What’s the book you’re hoping to get for Chistmas?
OMG TRISHA TALK TO ME.
Okay so I’m on page… 280/827 in Winter? (I don’t know your best bet is to check Goodreads because by the time you read this I’m sure I’ve read farther ahead) It is AMAAAAZING right??
Aww no problem. I love your blog so much, I mean to comment more and I really should. I hope you know that. 😉
I hope they do if it’s that good! I can’t wait to finally get to it.
Dully noted! Maybe you will get it for Christmas! I’m hoping for Finding Audrey (I can’t remember the author) or First & Then by Emma Mills. They both look super good. 🙂 (And all fluff, at least definitely for the latter one.)
