TBR Pile (3)

Happy Monday Guys :) I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I finished Catching Fire yesterday. IT WAS SO AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I can't get over how amazing it was. I've written the review (handwritten in pencil, cause I'm cool like that. Had a free at school and maths wasn't working out for me) I will try and get it up later today or tomorrow. I shall now share with you some book that are in my TBR pile :)

Five Flavors of Dumb by Antony John

I love the cover. It is really modern, and edgy and it just appeals to me. So does the story. A deaf girl has taken on the challenge of getting the rock band Dumb a gig. If she succeeds she gets to manage the band and get a share of the profits. It sounds so interesting and as I love music , I love the idea of incorporating music and books in one. I can't think of anything better.

Mostly Good Girls by Leila Sales

It is a novel set in High School, dealing with the challenges teenagers have to face. Violet is very focused, and wants to focus on her studies and extra curricular activities and trying to talk to boys. It also faces the issues of friendship, when friends choose different parts. I'll be interesting to see if it will bring anything new to the table.

Genesis (The Rosie Black Chronicles #1) by Lara Morgan

I love the artwork on the cover. Very modern again. I love it. It's a dystopian novel, set 500 years into the future. Rosie is a girl in the poorer division, and finds a box. A box that is very important to a secret organisation, and they will kill to get it. She goes on the run with two strangers and have to put her trust in them. Sounds very interesting.

So that is what I've got to show you today. Hope you enjoyed and I would love to hear any of your recommendations :)

TBR Pile (2)

I shall share some books from my TBR Pile this week :)

The Body Finder by Kimberly Derting

The cover is just gorgeous to start with. It is about a girl who can sense murdered bodies and with a serial killer on the loose takes on the role of finding him and stopping him. I've never heard of a book like this and I'm so intrigued by it. I've read some amazing reviews of it and the second instalment came out recently-ish I think.

Where The Truth Lies by Jessica Warman

The book looks wonderful.  I love the odd angle of the picture on the front cover.    My knowledge of this book is quite limited but it has something to do with  the main character having nightmares that cannot be explained. As she  begins to understand her nightmares she begins to question all that she has  known. It is a fairly new release (September 2010) and is only out in hardback at this moment in time.

Dreamland by Sarah Dessen

I am a HUGE Sarah Dessen fan. I don't think words could even describe how in love with her writing I am. This is the only one of hers I haven't read. I don't know how I've managed to surpass it but I have. There is no doubt in my mind that I will love it. From what I know it is about a girl in an abusive relationship, along with troubles at home, a missing sister if I recall correctly. It is one of her older novels and it seems to be slightly darker than her newer ones perhaps? I do hope there is some happy romance though, because I just seem to expect it with Sarah Dessen. Hopefully I will get it for Christmas this year! (fingers crossed)

Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver

The  number of  gushing reviews I have read is insane. Words don't seem to exist to describe how amazing this book is.  How can I not have read it yet? The book tells the story of a girl with a  perfect life who is forced to relive the same day 7 times. It deals with the  actions in our daily lives and how it affect things. Sam (the main character) learns that she has the power to change the way things are by slightly altering what she does. It has been likened to Groundhog Day which I have not seen (but must at some point), in the sense of  reliving the same day. Regardless it  looks absolutely superb and is another book I hope to get for Christmas.

Have any of you read these books? Are they deserving of taking up space on my TBR list. I'd love to hear your thoughts :) 

TBR Pile (1)

I'm sure I'm not the only one to have a never ending to be read pile that increases daily, so I thought I would share with you a few books each week that are in my to be read pile. So here are some of the books in mine :)


Boys Don't Cry by Malorie Blackman

First off I think I need to tell you how much I am in love with Malorie Blackman's Noughts and Crosses series. I read it when I was about 13 and I just couldn't get over how amazing it was. It was a battle of racism as well as an epic love story. I haven't read the fourth book (I got it for Christmas and it has gone walkies. No where to be seen. Magic I tell you)

I am not crazy about the cover but the plot looks great. It is about a boy who is about to start his life as an adult, going to university etc. when his ex girlfriend turns up with his baby. It looks very interesting and I am sure Malorie Blackman will have written another amazing book.

Girl Saves Boy by Steph Bowe

I can't say that I know too much about this book. I love the cover and I also love the fact it is written by a sixteen year old. It is her debut novel so I am really interested to see how she will do.

From what I gather it is about a terminally ill boy with a sick mother who tries to kill himself. However he is saved by a girl (hence the title) and they fall in love. It sounds very sweet whilst not being overly go. I'm excited to see how it will turn out.

The Sky is Everywhere by Jandy Nelson

I love this cover too (can you tell I'm a sucker for a good cover?) The book is about a geeky girl who loses her confident older sister. She has to take control of her life instead of living in her sister's shadow as she did before. She struggles with the new territory of boys and romance. It looks like an absolutely beautiful book about love and loss and being comfortable in your own skin.

Blood Ties by Sophie McKenzie

I actually met Sophie McKenzie a few years back at my school. From what I remember she was lovely and very interesting. She signed by girl, missing book. Anyway Blood Ties is about a boy, Theo, who finds out the father he thought was dead since his birth is actually alive and goes off to find him. On the way he meets Rachel who also has family issues. They get attacked my an organisation and are then rescued by strangers which leads to the answers to some questions and finding about who they really are. A bit of a thriller, sounds like fun and I loved Girl, Missing so I am excited to read this soon.

Well that is all for now. My workload for school is insane. Whoever thought having science essays was a good idea is mentally unstable. Just saying.
