Friday Reads: March 28, 2014

I tried to get into The Archived by Victoria Schwabb and Panic by Lauren Oliver. I had a hard time getting into the story, perhaps I didn't give it enough time yet. I didn't give up on it but moved on for now.

Yesterday, I started reading Mrs Peregrine's Home For Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs.  It was super easy to get into and so captivating!  I'm definitely continuing this book during the weekend.

What are you reading this weekend?

What did you think of the book I chose?

Happy reading!

Happy Friday!

On my ebook I'm reading Not A Drop To Drink by Mindy McGinnis. I'm about 2/4 of the way done. 

I also started a bit of Panic by Lauren Oliver and Delirium by Lauren Olvier but I'm not sure I want to continue them yet. I'll probably put down Panic until I'm done with Not A Drop To Drink.

There's just so many books I want on read in not sure what to grab next.  I just finished the Shatter Me series and looking for another great series... Too many choices! :)

What are you reading this weekend?

Happy reading!

Hello!

I'm happy to announce I'm finally finished Unravel Me by Tehereh Mafi! It took me a little longer to read due to a stressful/ eventful in a bad way month.

It was such a good read though and want to go ahead and read the final novella, Fracture Me, and then finish off the series with Ignite Me.

I believe I'll be able to finish it rather quickly or at least within a week's time.

I bought some books on my e-book (some new releases) that I really want to get to. Panic by Lauren Oliver and Uninvited by Sophie Jordan are on my to read soon list.

What do you plan on reading this weekend?

Happy reading!

March To Be Read

Hello! Can you believe it's March already?!

I hope you are doing better than I am with your reading challenge this year.  So far I am exactly one month of reading behind in my 100 book challenge. I was thinking of re-evaluating my amount but realized I don't always need to read big novels.  I think reading novellas, short stories and middle grade books should be explored more. So that's what I'll be looking into. Also, graphic novels! Those I've discovered last month and love! I have to find more. :)

Anyway, on my to March to be read pile.

This month I want to finish the Shatter Me series by Tehereh Mafi. This includes, finishing Unravel Me, Ignite Me and the novella, Fracture Me.

I also want to finish Not A Drop To Drink by Mindy McGinnis. Although I'm not in love with this book at the moment and think this one may take time.

I want to finish The Edge Of Always by J.A Redmerski. It is a duology and I've read the first book, The Edge Of Never, last month. Finishing this would be nice before I forget the details of the first book.

Next, I was thinking of either starting the Percy Jackson series or looking on my bookshelf for stand alone books.  I've been reading so many trilogies that I feel I need a break.

To conclude, after those first three books mentioned I'm choosing as I go this month. :)

Any stand alone books you recommend? What do you plan on reading this month?

Happy reading!

This week I'm currently reading two books.  I don't usually like to read more then one book at a time. However, I've been in the habit lately of reading one physical book and reading one on my e-reader at the same time.

Currently, I'm reading Unravel Me by Tehereh Mafi as a physical book.  While I'm on the go or at work I've been reading Not A Drop To Drink by Mindy McGinnis.

I'm leaning on finishing Unravel Me first so I can can finish the trilogy within the next week.

Thanks for stopping by!  Please leave in a comment letting me know what you plan on reading this weekend. Have you read the Shatter Me trilogy by Tehereh Madi? Did you like it or want to read it? I'd love to know :)

Take care and happy reading!
