Intimidating TBR Tag

-
Hey all! I have a HUGE TBR (to be read) pile, and I’ve seen this take everywhere, so I thought I’d give it a go!


1. A book on your TBR pile you haven’t finish
For this one, I’d have to say The Host by Stephenie Meyer. I think I started this at the beginning of 2012, when I was really into Twilight. I got about a 100 pages into it, and I really just couldn’t get the storyline, although I enjoyed the movie a lot. I hope to read it sometime soon, but I kind of want to wait until the whole series out (is Stephenie going to write that ever !?!).

2. A book you just haven’t had the time to read
You guys, Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare is huge. Like, 600 pages huge. And don’t get me wrong, I completely love the Shadowhunter books. In fact, I just re-read the Infernal Devices like a week ago, but man, it took so long to get through. This year I’m really trying to read 90 books, and right now I don’t have time to make such a commitment.


3. A book you haven’t read because it’s a sequel
Because It Is My Blood by Gabrielle Zevin, which is the sequel to All These Things I’ve Done. The world in this series is so cool. It’s basically dystopian, but has so much aspects from our society that it’s not too far of a stretch to imagine that it could become a reality. I really need to pick this up soon, because I really did enjoy the first one, and I didn’t read it too long ago, so I remember the storyline pretty clearly still.


4. A book you haven’t read because it’s brand new
I just got The Cemetery Boys by Heather Brewer (a.k.a. Zac Brewer) about a week ago from a library giveaway. I’ve seen it everywhere, though I don’t know fully what it’s about. It’s fairly short, and I’m hoping to power through it in the next couple of days.






5. A book on your TBR pile by an author you read previously and really didn’t like
This Lullaby by Sarah Dessen. I have a love-hate relationship with Dessen. I have really enjoyed some of her books, but others I have found to be so superficial with flat characters. Plus, she basically writes a version of the same story over and over again. I have three other books of hers besides this on my TBR, and I don’t know it I’ll ever get around to them.



6. A book on your TBR pile you’re just not in the mood to read
I don’t know anything about The Circle by Dave Eggers, except that it’s about a bunch of rich adults who have troubles with their trust fund. I honestly didn’t even know this book existed until about a month ago, when it was given to me randomly by a teacher. I have read Eggers other books, which I liked, so this book can’t be that bad.



7. A book on your TBR you bought because of the cover
Look at that cover- it’s so beautiful I’ve looked for Eyes Like Stars by Lisa Matche for years and I couldn’t find it anywhere. And there is was, at a library book sale for 10 cents. Of course, I had to get it, and I’m so excited to read it. I don’t know much about it, except for the fact that it’s a retelling of a Shakespeare tale. And honestly, no matter how good or bad this book turn out to be, I’m always keeping it because of the cover.



8. A book on your TBR pile that you haven't read because it's enormous

Can I pick a book I’m currently reading? Last week I decided to tackle A Game of Thrones by George R.R. Martin. I absolutely love the show, so it was about time I picked up the book. It’s like 800 pages, and I’m reading it bit by bit. 10 pages here and there. I really like, though it’s such a heavy read, it’ll probably take me all summer.



9. The book on your TBR pile you find the most intimidating

Definitely The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstein, mostly because I really want this book to live up to the hype. This book has been popular for quite a few years now, and I’ve just now been getting into adult books. It sounds wonderful and has a beautiful cover. But I don’t want to be left down.

How Andrew Smith (Probably) Saved My Life

This is a picture of Andrew Smith, my all time favorite author. Over the past weekend, I got to meet him, and it was one of the best experiences of my life. Now, you may be wondering why this guy is  not just my all time favorite author, but also one of my favorite people, and I am going to tell you all about it. Two and a half years ago, I didn’t even know who this guy was, let alone that he wrote books. I was really big into BookTube, and even though I didn’t make videos, I loved being a part of the community. One day, I heard about Winger , and honestly I wasn’t really interested in the book. I had heard so many good things about it though that I had to read it, and I am so glad I did. Within five pages, I kid you not, it was my favorite book, and it still is today. Over the span of my life, I have read over 300 books, and I have never been more attached to a set of characters. Ryan Dean stole my heart from the minute I met him, and his story then shattered my heart into a mil

In Henrietta, Virginia, magic is brewing. For Blue, this is no surprise. Blue lives in a house full of psychics. Some can predict times of events and some can predict things as a grave as the way someone will die. Blue’s only ability is to amplify other’s. Oh, and the fact that if she kisses her true love, they will die. For Gansey, the magic of Henrietta holds the key to the future. For a year and a half, he’s been searching Henrietta for the ley line that supposedly has the power to awaken a historical Welsh king that, when awakened, is able to grant powerful wishes. Enlisted in his search are his friends Ronan, Adam, and Noah. And now Blue. In a psychic reading gone wrong, the boys and Blue are put together, now all on the hunt for the ley line. There’s only one thing Blue isn’t telling them: she’s predicted to have a role Gansey’s death. Gansey, who’s alive right now. As they get closer to the ley line, it becomes clear that they’re not the only ones after the king and the conseq

Still Life With Tornado by A.S. King (2016)

Sarah is sixteen, and she is going through an early-life crisis. She stopped going to school, and is stuck on the idea that nothing that she does will ever be original. That she is trapped in a world of unoriginality. Her days are spent following the homeless artist on the corner around town, and switching buses for hours until she doesn’t know where she it. On one of her wandering days, she meets herself. The ten year old Sarah, whose family’s explosive trip to Mexico ended with her older brother moving to Oregon, never to return. Then Sarah in her early twenties show up, and Sarah in her forties. They all hold a little piece of present Sarah’s life that she’s trying to figure out, but none of them are offering any clear answers. She better figure it out quick, though, before her whole world falls apart. I am a huge fan of A.S. King. When I was twelve, I first read one of her books, which was called Everybody Sees the Ants , which deserves five stars just based on the great title.
