Monthly List: August 2018

Here's a very short list of books I can't wait to read. I'm mostly excited about the conclusion of the Kate Daniels series with Magic Triumphs as well as the ending of a super dramatic trilogy The Thousandth Floor- The Towering Sky but I will check out Catwoman as well.

Catwoman by Sarah J.Maas | August 7th
Magic Triumphs by Ilona Andrews | August 28th
The Towering Sky by Katherine McGee | August 28th

Monthly List: July 2018

Here are three books I'm excited to read in the month of July. 

All Your Perfects by Colleen Hoover | July 17th

Bright We Burn by Kiersten White | July 10th

The Darkest Legacy by Alexandra Bracken | July 31st

I always keep on giving Colleen Hoover chances. Sometimes her books give me the feels but most of the time, they don't. I guess she's one of those authors who's premise sounds very interesting but the execution ends up being lackluster.

Gimme more Vlada! She is cool and ruthless. I love her. Bright We Burn is a must read, in my opinion.

One of side characters from the Darkest Minds trilogy is getting her own story. I feel like there's no need for this book but publishers are trying to milk the franchise. There's also a movie coming out soon- "We better get that coin!"

Monthly List: June 2018

And we are nearing the half of 2018! Time is flying by. It's already very warm where I live and it's hard to fall asleep in this heat. Anyway, here are the books I plan to read this month. 

 

A Reaper at the Gates by Sabaa Tahir | June 12th

Iron and Magic by Ilona Andrews | June 26th

Save the Date by Morgan Matson | June 5th

Gosh! I'm so excited about Save the Date, you have no idea. I hope Morgan Matson publishes one contemporary novel every summer for at least the next ten years. It would make me so happy. 

Iron and Magic- Please, ignore the hideous cover. I'm sure the book will be full of kickass action scenes with the signature Andrews humor. 

I don't plan to miss A Reaper at the Gates either. Though, I have to admit, I have forgotten everything about the previous books and I'm praying for a short summary in the first few chapters. 

Monthly List: May 2018

Can't believe it's almost summer. May is one of my favorite months in the year mostly because of nice weather, barbecue season and cherries! I love me some cherries. It's such an underrated fruit. 

Now let's look at new releases I plan to read/see in the month of May. 

Books

From Twinkle with Love by Sandhya Menon | May 22nd

I Was Born for This by Alice Oseman | May 3rd

Legendary by Stephanie Garber | May 29th

Lifelik3 by Jay Kristoff | May 29th

Listen to Your Heart by Kasie West | May 29th

War Storm by Victoria Aveyard | May 15th

I most definitely plan to read the new Alice Oseman book, as well as Lifelik3 and the conclusion to the Red Queen series, War Storm. I'll check those others out if I find the time. 

Movies

Solo: A Star Wars Story | May 25th

Deadpool 2 | May 18th

Monthly List: April 2018

I don't know about you but for me, March flew by so fast. I've been reading more in March. There were days when I would be finishing up one book a day. I've read 54 books out of 100 for this year's Goodreads challenge. The much neglected graphic novels also got some time. Seems like a win.

Now let's take a look at April new releases I plan to read.

I Have Lost My Way by Gayle Forman | April 1st

Leah on the Offbeat by Becky Albertalli | April 24th

Starry Eyes by Jenn Bennett | April 3rd

Gayle Forman is one of the authors whose work I automatically read. I Have Lost My Way was suppose to come out in March but it was pushed to April for some reason. No worries, I will read it as soon as I can get my greedy hands on it. 

Becky is also on my auto-read list. I love her upbeat novels with interesting characters. 

Jenn Bennett is also on my auto-read list since Alex, Approximately. That book was bursting with cuteness and it seems her newest novel is getting a lot of great reviews so my expectations are high. You better not disappoint, Jenn!  

A Quiet Place | April 6th

Avengers: Infinity War | April 27

Yes! A Quiet Place is finally coming out! I'm so excited about this movie. Apparently, some critic spoiled the whole film before it was even released. What a bad move. Who's going to invite you to their premiere if you're not doing your job the way you're suppose to?! 

Avengers! Watching this for Cap's beard. :) 

Monthly List: March 2018

It seems March is blessing us with so many exciting new releases. The one I'm looking forward the most is Restore Me. I live for Warnette. Can't freaking wait!!! Just a couple of days left! 

February flew by so fast if you ask me. During it I started my very first bullet journal and I even started watching a Turkish soap which became a huge part of my daily daydreaming, read obsessing. I haven't been this invested into something since Reylo. 

Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi | March 6th

High Voltage by Karen Marie Moning | March 6th

I Have Lost My Way by Gayle Forman | March 27th

In Search of Us by Ava Dellaria | March 6th

Obsidio by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff | March 13th

Restore Me by Tahereh Mafi | March 6th

I'm going to need some help getting through all those book after March 6th releases drop. I can't possibly read them all till the end of the month. Maybe I could do it, if I challenge myself. 

 

March 2nd | Red Sparrow

March 6th | A Wrinkle in Time, The Strangers, Thoroughbreads

March 16th | Tomb Raider, Love Simon 

March 23rd| Pacific Rim 

March 30th | Ready Player One 

Top Ten Tuesday #30

I haven't participated in this meme since 2014! :O It's good to be back! I probably won't post every week.

This week's topic is Books that have been on my TBR the longest and I still haven't read. Most of my picks are embarrassing cause I'm really bad at reading books with a lot of pages.

1. Noughts & Crosses by Malorie Blackman - I have the boxed set. Since 2012, I think. So embarrassing. 

2. The Mistborn series by Brandon Sanderson - The case of huge book syndrome. I have the first 5 books and they are collecting books on my bookshelf. Has anyone read it?
3. The Brides of Rollrock Island by Margo Lanagan - Got this as a early b-day present from mom a couple of years ago and I've been avoiding it cause I don't want to be disappointed. All of my friends seem to adore this book.
4. The Soul Screamers series by Rachel Vincent - I kind of want to read past book 1 because of Tod. He's a cutie.
5. Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick - Ehhh... This series. This came during the Twilight craze so the romance is super unhealthy.
6. Going Bovine by Libba Bray - Dust collector. I love Libba but her books are loooong.
7. Finnikin of the Rock by Melina Marchetta - It's a known fact Marchetta is amazing and allegedly, so is this trilogy. Will read it before I die. For now they're dust collectors.
8. Days of Blood & Starlight by Laini Taylor - I'm probably the only one who hasn't finished this trilogy. I wasn't a fan of the first book. :/ It was meh for me.
9. Beauty Queens by Libba Bray - Libba, Libba, Libba. I want to read this but the size is turning me off.
10. A Little Wanting Song by Cath Crowley - My friends love this book and it's been years since they read it. What am I waiting for? I dunno.

Monthly List: February 2018

Can't believe it's already February! Time sure is flying! I feel like November was just around the corner. Anyway, here's my very short Monthly List for February. I don't read adult novels on the regular anymore but some of these have caught my eye so I decided to put them on my already huge pile.

Books

The Lucky Ones by Tiffany Reisz | February 13th

Surprise Me by Sophie Kinsella | February 13th

Gentleman Nine by Penelope Ward | February 19th 

Immortal Reign by Morgan Rhodes | February 6th

Movies

Black Panther directed by Ryan Coogler | February 16th
Annihilation directed by Alex Garland | February 23rd

I'm so excited about Annihilation mostly because of the director. I love everything Alex Garland touches. He only recently started directing but he's been a screenwriter of some one my favorite movies.

TV shows

Altered Carbon | February 2nd

Life Sentence | February 27th

UnREAL | February 26th

Two new shows premiering this month and one, epic show is returning. I recently read Altered Carbon and I wasn't so impressed but I feel like I would love the show. Lucy Hale in a CW show! Yes! Yes! Yes! I hope it's cute and can replace the place in my heart previously held by Hart of Dixie. I need a cute dramedy in my life.
