2016 August TBR

Hello everyone!  Well the month of August is upon us and you know what that means... TBR time.  And by TBR time, I mean, lets add more books to the ever growing pile of books that I have yet to read.  Which these are the books:

31. MockingJay by Suzanne Collins.
32. The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
33. Shanna by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
34. A Rose in Winter by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss

And because I decided to be a moron, I've decided to add a few more books to by TBR.

1. Miracles on the Water by Tom Nargorski.  I believe this books is about a ship wreck, but I can't remember if it is a cruise liner or if it was a war ship.  But I remember it sounded interesting.  Plus, this counts as a non-fiction book.
2. The Dewey Decimal System of Love by Josephine Carr.  I've had this book in my collection for ages.  Plus this is a small one so it should be a quick read.
3. Juliet Immortal and Romeo Remembered by Stacey Jay.  This is a duology, I believe.  If I remember the synopses correctly, it's kind of a modern take on the story of Romeo and Juliet.  Plus this counts as a series.
4. Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige.  I picked this up a few months ago because it sounded interesting just by the title alone.
5. Married at Midnight (Anthology).  Yes while this does actually count as part of my Kathleen E. Woodiwiss book it is also an anthology!  So another one of my challenge goals to be met.
6. The Secret Conversations by Ava Gardner.  This is a biography/memoir about the actress Ava Gardner.  This also counts as a challenge.

Well so here is my TBR for the month of August.  I'm now up to 40 books that I need to read.  EEK!  Well I plan on doing something exciting for the month of August to hopefully get me in the mood to read actual physical books.  Wish me luck!  Happy reading!

June 2016 Wrap Up

Well another month has passed and per usual I've read mostly kindle books.  And most of them were novellas.  But hell, 18 books are still 18 books!  My goal for the up and coming months is the read more physical books that I have neglected in the past months.

1. Bastian by Lauren Landish so I read this at the beginning of June and I have to be honest, it wasn't a very memorable book.  In fact I remember more details to the short story that was added to this download more than this one. RATING: 3 out of 5 stars
2. Resonating Souls by Ophelia Sikes is the first book in the Bermuda Nights novella series. This series follows Amanda and Evan and a cruise ship.  It was exciting and quick to read and of course, left at a cliff hanger so I had to power through the other books. RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
3. Wine-Dark Dreams by Ophelia Sikes is the second book in the Bermuda Nights novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars 
4. The Soulless Abyss by Ophelia Sikes is the third book in the Bermuda Nights novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
5. Wanting All by Ophelia Sikes is the fourth and final book in the Bermuda Nights Novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
6. Love's Heat by Ophelia Sikes is the first book in the Italian Nights novella series.  This story follows Hannah and Brandon who are on a Mediterranean cruise.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
7. Carved into my Heart by Ophelia Sikes is the second book in the Italian Nights novella series,  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
8. Lost in Darkness by Ophelia Sikes is the third book in the Italian Nights novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
9. Love's Labyrinth by Ophelia Sikes is the fourth book in the Italian Nights novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
10. Flames and Tears by Ophelia Sikes is the fifth and final book in the Italian Nights novella series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
11. Shades of Kiev by Bella Forrest is a mini spin off of the Shades of vampire series.  It leaves off where the 7th book in the series left off and kind of fills the space and time of where books 7 and 8 had.  This series follows Kiev as he is trying to find the good in him as he is trapped in the realm that all of the non-human creatures come from.  He makes friends but tries to figure out a way to survive as he meets Mona who is a witch with no magic.  RATING: 4 out of 5 stars
12. Shades of Kiev 2 by Bella Forrest leaves off where the first book left off.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
13. Shades of Kiev 3 by Bella Forrest follows up where the 2nd book left off.  While it is the end of the series, the ending opens up to how it will play with the rest of the Shades of Vampire series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
14. Dwell in Possibility by Ophelia Sikes is the first novella in the Worcester Nights series.  This story follows Kate and Sean.  This book stands out like the Vegas Nights series, because it doesn't involve a cruise.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
15. A Soul Ajar by Ophelia Sikes is the second novella in the Worcester Nights series.  RATING: 4 out of 5 stars 
16. A Song of Soul and Hope by Ophelia Sikes is the thrid novella in the Worcester Nights series.  RATING: 4 out of 5 stars
17. Stop One Heart from Breaking by Ophelia Sikes is the fourth and final novella in the Worcester Nights series.  The two in the middle were a little dull but the ending was really action packed.  And out of all of the books that I have read by this author (the main characters are siblings) this one actually had someone that I wish would have been hurt.  I'll go into more detail when I write a review for the series.  RATING: 5 out of 5 stars
18. Half Bad by Sally Green is a young adult paranormal fantasy book that involves witch craft.  Nathan was born as a half white witch and half black witch, and has had to struggle his whole life to prove to those around him that he is a good person.  This is the first in the Half Bad trilogy.  It took me a little bit to get into it but once I did I couldn't put it down.  I have every intention to get the last two books.  But I am debating if I want to get the physical copy or just download the kindle versions.  RATING: 4 out of 5 stars

Well this is what I read for the month of June.  Yes it is kind of sad that they were all kindle books, and ever more sad was the fact that only one was actually on my TBR.  But I'm looking forward to next month and all of the books that I could possibly read.  Happy Reading!

June 2016 TBR/On Deck

Oh yes, another month has passed.  While I didn't do a TBR for May, mainly because I wanted to catch up on the huge amounts of books that I haven't gotten to yet so I thought it would be a great time to catch up.  But instead I ended up getting sucked into WattPad stories.  So like normal here are the books from previous TBR's that I need to read.  And sadly, the list if VAST!

16. Dark Bites by Sherrilyn Kenyon

And here are June's!

4. Reached by Ally Condie
5. Petals on the River by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
6. Son of No One by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Well here is my June TBR.  It is essentially 24 books, 4 of which are kindle books.  I do hope to read more physical book this month but to be honest I don't know if I'll be as successful as I hope since I plan on working a lot of overtime.  But I will try. Wish me luck.

2016 April TBR/On Deck

Hello everyone!  I hope you all had a fabulous March.  Per usual I have quite a few books from last month that I didn't get to.  I read quite a few e-books though while I was on vacation.  But these are the books that I need go get to from the previous months.

1. Forever in Your Embrace by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
2. One Virgin Too Many by Lindsey Davis

So I've decided to pull out a few more books from my TBR jar.  I'm hoping to make a huge dent this month.  I've noticed that this month I pulled out a lot of Sherrilyn Kenyon books, which I'm excited so I can put a dent in that goal.

1. Rasputin by Brian Moynahan
2. Born of Silence by Sherrilyn Kenyon
3. A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly
4. Jaws by Peter Benchly (I'm actually really excited about this one, I picked it up at a book sale last year because I'm so enthralled by the movies.)
5. The Curse by Sherrilyn Kenyon
6. Dark Bites by Sherrilyn Kenyon

Well those are my books goals for this month.  Also I should mention is that I'm also reading a book called To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jennie Han, it wasn't on my TBR but I wanted to read it because it seemed interesting.  Another thing is that I'm quite close to my goal of 40 books to read so I might make my goal higher on my good reads account.  Anyway, I hope everyone has a fantastic April and wish me luck.

2016 March TBR/On Deck

Happy March.  This month I decided to do mostly kindle/e-books since I need to catch up on the physical books that I haven't made it to yet and I'm also going on vacation and it's easier to bring my kindle instead of 4 to 6 physical books.  So I plan on reading the books from last month:

1. Come Love a Stranger  by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
2. Forever in Your Embrace by Kathleen E. Woodiwiss
3. One Virgin Too Many by Lindsey Davis
4. Perfect Evil by E.C. Sheedy
5. Dragonbane by Sherrilyn Kenyon
6. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
7. Stop in the Name of Pants by Louise Rennison
8. Are These My Basooma's I See Before Me by Louise Rennison

I'll Probably start on the Louise Rennison books next, mostly because they'll finish the series, but another reason is that sadly, Louise Rennison passed away recently.  I loved the Georgia Nicholson books when I was younger.  I remember staying up all night reading them, laughing my butt off. 

Next are 8 e-books that I have decided to read, again, I picked 8 because I'll probably read 4 to 8 (depending on the length) when I'm on vacation.

1. Deception of a Highlander by Madeline Martin
2. Under the Cowboy's Control by Lynda Chance
3. Half Bad by Sally Green
4. Flirting With Felicity by Gerri Russell
5. Jace by Kenzie Cox
6. The Ghost Bride by Yangsze Choo
7. Devil of the Highlands by Lynsay Sands
8. Play With Me by Anna Katmore

Well this is my March on deck/TBR.  I hope I can make a dent this month.  Wish me luck!  Next month I plan on only taking out physical books from my TBR.
