What to Read, What to Read...

Hello, lovely people of the internet! How are you? You look nice today. So I am in a serious reading slum, and I want to get out of it. I think I need some fun, light contemporaries. So could you please leave some suggestions for me down in the comments. I would love you forever! :) Oh, and I'm close-ish to 200 follows so when I hit that I am hoping to do a giveaway. Isn't that exciting? I love giveaways! :) Thank you all for reading and suggesting books. Love you, Bye!

Feature and Follow: Favorite Summer Reading Book

Feature and Follow Friday is a weekly meme hosted by Alison Can Read & Parajunkee's View. Its a great way to meet new bloggers.

Q: What is your favorite Summer Reading book?

Ohhhh, that's hard. I have a lot. I love anything by Sarah Dessen, but I think my favorite of hers is Along for the Ride for the Summer. I also really like Ally Carter's
books for the summer. I love the Gallagher Girl series, and I have only read the first book of the Heist Society series but I like it so far. 

Review: The Elite

Title: The Elite
Series: The Selection #2
Author: Kiera Cass
Published: April 23, 2013
Publisher: HarperTeen
Links: Goodreads
Pages: 323
Rating: 5/5

Thirty-five girls came to the palace to compete in the Selection. All but six have been sent home. And only one will get to marry Prince Maxon and be crowned princess of Illea. America still isn’t sure where her heart lies. When she’s with Maxon, she’s swept up in their new and breathless romance, and can’t dream of being with anyone else. But whenever she sees Aspen standing guard around the palace, and is overcome with memories of the life they planned to share. With the group narrowed down to the Elite, the other girls are even more determined to win Maxon over—and time is running out for America to decide. Just when America is sure she’s made her choice, a devastating loss makes her question everything again. And while she’s struggling to imagine her future, the violent rebels that are determined to overthrow the monarchy are growing stronger and their plans could destroy her chance at any kind of happy ending.

The Elite was even better than The Selection. It took me a while to get into it because I was just annoyed that there was a second book. I mean don't get me wrong, I loved both of these books, but I really think she could of easily made it one big book instead of three. But The Elite was really good, and if you read The Selection you should continue. There was a little more action, more dresses, more of the annoying Aspen, and A LOT MORE Maxon (which is a wonderful thing). It was a great sequel and I can't wait for the next one.

America! Will you make up your mind! Seriously! She is so annoying. It is obvious that Maxon loves her, and she is pushing him away. Ahhh!!! America, Stop it! Maxon is so sweet. Also Aspen...he needs to go! That's all I'm going to say about that. Maxon got better in this book. He grew up more and defended himself and I love him even more. There is a party and more of America's family which I love.There is a lot more action. The rebellions are better. Celeste is even more evil. And can I just say I hate Maxon's dad! ahh! Go away will you.

Okay, that review is not a great reflection of The Elite. The Elite was really good, and I cannot wait for The One.

Feature & Follow (10)

This is a weekly blog hop hosted by the Parajunkee and Alison Can Read 

Q: Happy Mother's Day! Who is your favorite mom from fiction?

I looked on my shelves because I wanted to be clever and not give an answer a lot of people are giving. But really, most moms are really annoying. They are either really annoying, dead, or the source of the problem is the mother so you don't really like her that much. However, there is one mom that does not fit that mold...Molly Weasley (see how original that was). She went through a lot in those seven books, but she stayed strong for her family. She also cared for other people like they were her children. Also, the ending of Deadly Hallows! I was crying my eyes out, and then that scene came, and I started to do this weird laugh-cry thing. Haha. That's my answer, leave a comment below telling me what you think

 

Bout of Books 7.0

The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, May 13th and runs through Sunday, May 19th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure, and the only reading competition is between you and your usual number of books read in a week. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 7.0 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog. - From the Bout of Books team


So I am once again participating in the Bout of Books Read-a-thon. I am really excited about this, and hopefully I will do better this time. I don't know what my goals are yet, or what books I'm going to read yet (because I'm planing on reading some before this, so that will change the books). I should have my goals posted by Sunday.

Here is a link to my twitter and goodreads if you want to follow my progress there.

School Is Finally Over!!!

...Actually, it was over on Friday...but I slept a lot so I haven't really done anything...except sleep...and watch movies and tv. Oh, I worked out too. So I'm really really sore. I don't want to move. And I know its going to be a million times worse in the morning so I don't really want to go to sleep because I don't want to wake up and not be able to move. So I'm writing a kind of ramble of a post today, sorry. /: I am soooooooooooooooo glad the semester is over! Like so happy. This semester was a hundred times worst than freshman year. Like I almost gave up with only 6 weeks left. It was really hard for me to make myself stay. I finished in a blur. But I changed my major so hopefully that will make it better. Okay, I am in a serious reading slum. I read The Elite on Monday (there should be a review soon, so look for that), and it was good, but it was still hard for me to make myself read it. It was really good I promise, I am just not in the mood for reading. All I want to do is watch Doctor Who, but I don't want to because its the one with Rose and I know what is going to happen but I don't want it too. :'( So I looked for a new show. Robin Hood. Its really good. So all I want to do is watch that (Joe Armstrong...is very attractive). But I want to read but I don't want to! I have so many good books but I don't want to read them. I really want to read a light fun summer read, but all I have is dystopians and fantasies or darker contemporaries. Really all I need is the new Sarah Dessen book and it will make me want to read...but its not out until June 4! :( I'm going to participate in the Bout of Books Read-a-thon so hopefully that will get me out of this. Okay, sorry to rant. I think I am now going to try to go to sleep and hope that I will be able to move tomorrow. Oh, and check out BBC Robin Hood...once again Joe Armstrong (Allan A'Dale)...very attractive. Haha :)
