the books i need to read

Hey, everyone! It feels like it’s been so long since I’ve blogged, because I usually schedule my posts weeks ahead of time, and I haven’t been scheduling posts in a week or two. I guess to you, you can’t tell the difference (as long as I still have my posts up!), but it’s good to be back in gear and writing posts more regularly. I had something else planned today, but I decided to switch it up because I’ve had a lot of books on my mind lately. Of course, I ALWAYS do, but this time, it feels more overwhelming than exciting.

There are just SOOOO many books. So many. I’ve only read one book this week (Rain Reign, which was a little disappointing), and I’m also having a hard time deciding what to read next. I have several books on hold at the library, plus some school-required reading, plus the books from the library I have out right now… PLUS the towering TBR stack that’s been sitting on my shelf for who-knows-how-long. Yep. I’m telling you, one day I’m going to fall under all the books I need to read and break my neck!

ANY WHO… onto the point of this post. I thought I’d talk a bit about the books I need to read! I have several books some of you (clearly awesome) blog readers have recommended to me, and I’m super-duper excited + anxious to read them! I really hope I like them. These are the books I have out from the library currently:

SO many good ones, am I right?! 😀 I’ve finished Rain Reign, but the others I still need to read. I talked about most of them in my last Stacking the Shelves. As for the books on hold at the library that I’ll be picking up today or tomorrow, I’ve got three:

The False Prince was recommended to me by two commenters (for the life of me, I can’t remember who! Sorry!), and I’m thinking I might try to get my little sister into them as well. It sounds like something she would really enjoy. I’m hoping to get into them, too. Since You’ve Been Gone is something I’ve been wanting to read for a really really REALLY long time, and I know Daisy‘s been wanting me to give it a try. 😉 (wink wink) And finally, The Swift Boys & Me – I saw it on Goodreads and thought the cover is adorable, the plot sounds adorable.. so why not?

Okay, so there’s that. Now for my To-Be-Read pile.

Yeeeeaahhh… pretty tall. Although not as big as SOME bloggers… I’m not proud of it. >_< Dunno when or if I’ll ever get to it, but guys, it’s always hanging over my shoulder! I have a slight problem. And I’m pretty sure there are some books hiding on other shelves that I also haven’t read, so that’s certainly not all of them. (BY the way; mom, dad, grandma, cousins, aunts/uncles, any family reading this… THIS DOES NOT MEAN, by ANY stretch, you do not need to buy me more books. More books are always necessary. I promise I’ll get around to them!) 😀

On a side note, see the two copies of The Huntress Of Thornbeck Forest by Melanie Dickerson hanging out to the right of the TBR stack? I’ll be giving one of those away! Sometime soon! I won one copy in a giveaway myself in May, and then for some reason I got another one in the mail this week. (Which was definitely a nice surprise, so thanks Harper Collins!) 😉 Only I haven’t read it yet, so once I read and review it, I’ll be giving away a copy. Some other “bloggy” surprises will be coming your way soon, as well, SO BE PREPARED.

That’s pretty much it for today, folks. I hope you liked this sort of rambling post, something a little different since I usually save these for the weekends, but oh well. What books do you need to read?? Ohmigosh, completely forgot about talking about my school-required books. Tomorrow? We’ll see! Oh – and on a completely random note, do any of you watch Heartland on Netflix? I’M HOOKED. I’m on season four, and working my way through it quite fast. Those stinkers in Canada get all eight seasons, while we Americans get six, so that’s a little sad, but I’m still watching it! It’s awesome… another thing keeping me from reading more than one book this week, lol.

Until next time!

Emily

 

 

P.S. Will you help me pick which book to read next in the comments?

  1. YAY! I recommended The False Prince! I’m planning on reading them again so I can write reviews for my blog, but I seriously loved all three of those books! x) Can’t wait to hear how you like all these books so if I know if I should give them a try 😀 Great post as always! <3

    1. YES, you did! I knew that, lol. Ooh, I hope you review them soon, I’d love to hear all of your thoughts. They sound amazing! Thanks, Madison! 🙂

  2. EEP I hope you enjoy Miss Peregrine’s! I love that book so much! Those all look awesome, anyway. I’ve heard good things about Apple and Rain, curious to hear what you think! Same with Since You’ve Been Gone. So many awesome books! 😀

    1. I hope I do, too! Though I have to say I’ve heard many mixed reviews… I’m pretty sure I’ll either hate it or love it. It’s something I’d not normally pick up on my own, so hopefully it’ll be one of those genres that I get into rather than put down. Can’t wait! 😀

  3. Im so happy you finally got Since You’ve Been Gone! You know thats the one I’m going to tell you to read first. 😉 I hope you like it, I know I did. Apple and rain looks good too though. Id love to read your review on those two books.
    Ohmygosh I’d give anything to be in your “dilemma” Id rather have to many books to read rather than not enough! I don’t have a library readily available to me and no money for books! It’s so frustrating! Especially since I have a million and one books I want to read so badly!

    1. ME TOO! I’m really not sure if I’ll be able to get to the library tomorrow, so it might have to wait until Monday. 🙁 I decided to read Apple & Rain next, since I don’t have Since You’ve Been Gone yet. They both sound awesome.

      Aww! Yes, been there, done that. It all depends, I either have 0 books to read or 10 TRILLION books to read, ha!

      That totally stinks. Do you have an e-reader? I use an app called Overdrive that I log in with my library to check out books on my Kindle, and it’s great if I can’t get to my library. If you do have a library somewhat near to you, you could try to get a card simply so you have an account on the app. It might be helpful. 🙂 You can always check out audio books on it, too.

    1. Oh, that’s great! I’d never seen it before I saw it at the library, and randomly decided to read it; although I had seen the two other books by the same author. I wasn’t a fan of Susan LaFleur’s other books, but I’m hoping this one will win me back over. 😉

    1. It is? It looks super cute. I think I’d seen it in the bookstore or library and thought it looked good before seeing it on Goodreads. I can’t wait to pick it up. 🙂

  4. Ooh, I’ve been wanting to read The Huntress of Thornbeck Forest since it came out! Looking forward to your giveaway 🙂

    I so know how you feel. I have so many unread books sitting on my bookshelf. It’s like they’re staring at me. I can hear them whisper, “Read me!” And yet there are some days where all I want to do is go to the library and walk out with a gargantuan stack of books. I just can’t help myself.

    I hope you enjoy all of your books! Btw(and I can’t remember if I said this before, but) I mentioned you on my blog. Link’s below.
