My TBR Pile!!

Ok so here lately I have been getting a lot of books! And I decided to get them all together (because they were everywhere!) and see what all I had. Needless to say I was in shock my all the books that I need to read!

So this is the entire thing!!! A total of 37 books. I know that's not A LOT, but to me, its kind of over whelming, in a good way :)

First pile is the books that I have out from the library.

These are my library books. From Carpe Diem down, is kinda iffy, but the rest are ones that I really want to read.

This is my review pile. These are all books that I have gotten for review. I am really excited to get to most of these!!

And last but not least, these are the books that I have won in contest and have bought that i really want to read.

Read-A-Thon

Hey guys, so my read-a-thon went terrible. I haven't read anything. My dad kept me so busy yesterday! I was so mad because I had told him a week prior that Saturday I was doing it! But, I am going to get in as much reading as I can, and finish my goal within the week. In case you dont know what that is, my goal was to read these four books.

So I think that is it and I going to go work on Vamped!

Also I would just like to say thanks to all the cheerleaders that there were yesterday and for all the support! You guys are great!

Hey guys, well its not going so good. My dad keeps trying to find work for me to do, so that I can't be inside and read. I am going to be sitting down and working on Vamped, right now! I am not going to stop until my goal of 4 books, is finished!

Thanks for supporting me :)

Read a thon Update

Hey guys sorry I havent updated, I havent been able to read much yet because i had to go get my brother, but Im going to put on some comfy clothes and get started!

Need - Carrie Jones

Summary - Zara collects phobias the way other high school girls collect lipsticks. Little wonder, since life's been pretty rough so far. Her father left, her stepfather just died, and her mother's pretty much checked out. Now Zara's living with her grandmother in sleepy, cold Maine so that she stays & safe. Zara doesn't think she's in danger; she thinks her mother can't deal.

Wrong. Turns out that guy she sees everywhere, the one leaving trails of gold glitter, isn't a figment of her imagination. He's a pixie and not the cute, lovable kind with wings. He's the kind who has dreadful, uncontrollable needs. And he's trailing Zara.

With suspense, romance, and paranormal themes, this exciting breakout novel has all the elements to keep teens rapidly turning the pages.

(From Goodreads)

Review - Well I can definitely say that I did not get what I was expecting, in a good way! I actually really enjoyed this book. At times it was kinda predictable, but then there were others that I had no idea that it was going to happen. I never had a jaw dropping moment, but it constantly kept me guessing. This is a perfect example of my favorite kind of book! Its got romance and fantasy and everything, that to me, makes a great book. It was also hilarious! I loved Zara, she was so quirky and I constantly found myself laughing at things that she would say or do. I have read many reviews where people didn't like that the phobias were included in the book, one even said it went too far, for me I thought it was perfect! It made Zara who she was! I have nothing bad to say about this one, and if anyone asked me if they should read it, I would tell them HECK YES!!!!
