Hello Everyone,

Read:
1. The Last Olympian by Rick Riordan
2. Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi
3. The Rise of Nine by Pittacus Lore
4. Raven: Delirium Series 2.5 by Lauren Oliver

2. Cinder by Marissa Meyer

Continued:
1. Queen of Shadows by Sarah J Maas

Bought:

Sense I had a credit left over from a past Read 5 Buy 1 I was able to buy And I Darken by Kiersten White.  I finished my third R5B1 so I bought the book Nevernight by Jay Kristoff.  This means that I am on track with buying books!

Happy Reading

September TBR

Hey Everyone,

Here are all the books I plan to read in September:

This list is a long one due to the fact that I plan on buying two books this month and need to keep up with my Read 5 Buy 1 plan.  That means if I don't want to be in debt to my deal, I will need to read ten books this month.  While I know that I will not be able to do that, I hope to at least be able to read six and make up the other four the following month.

Start and Finish:

1. Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo

2. The Beauty of Darkness by Mary E Pearson

3. Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo (Release date: September 27th)

4. Empire of Storm by Sarah J Maas (Release date: September 6th)

5. The Fall of Five by Pittacus Lore


Finish:

1. And I Darken by Kiersten White

2. Queen of Shadow by Sarah J Maas

3. Cinder by Marissa Meyer


This month I have high ambitions. I don't know if I can do all of them, but fingers crossed I can get a lot of reading done.

Happy Reading

Book Series I Have Finished

Hey Everyone,

This is a list of the current book series I have finished.  This may or may not include companion books, it all depends on the series.

This list is in no particular order and is more for me to see how many series I have finished.  I think this was an interesting list to make, because I always feel like I have not finished many series.  Doing this reminded me that I have read more than I thought.  I think I will be updating this series each year to see how it changes.

More post will be coming out in the future about other book series related things.


  1. Harry Potter
  2. The Hunger Games
  3. Percy Jackson and the Olympians 
  4. The Selection
