Reading Plan #17












On the Blog Last Week
 What I Have Just Finished  
Eve and Adam by Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate
Goodreads - Amazon.co.uk/.com - Book Depository

I seem to be reading rather slowly at the moment. I am going back to Uni soon so I am trying to sort everything out. Nothing to do with the book. I did enjoy this book and I plan to post my review closer to release date.

Currently Reading 
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

More by T.M. Franklin

I do not usually read two books at once. I was reading The Perks of Being a Wallflower but I wasn't getting it through it fast enough. I like it but it hasn't fully gripped me yet. I like the story but it is the way that is written. Too many tangents. I have moved onto More for the time being but will be returning to The Perks of Being a Wallflower straight afterwards. 

More has intrigued me so far. I am really interested in what Caleb and these people are. It is not all that obvious.

To Read Next
At What Cost by J. Andersen

I received this book for the blog tour. I love books about tricky life situations, such as abortion. I am looking forward to this one.

Reading Plan #16















On the Blog Last Week
Not much on the blog last week but there were a couple of things.  

What I Have Just Finished  

Night of the Purple Moon (The Toucan Triology #1) by Scott Cramer
 Unfortunately this book wasn't really for me. Check back tomorrow for the review.

I have not got that far in yet but what I have read has definitely intrigued me. 

To Read Next
The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky

I plan to read this book before the movie comes out. I have heard nothing but good things about this one.

Reading Plan #15













I have just come back from a week long holiday in Spain. The plan: a week of reading and blogging in the sunshine. In the end it turned into just a week of reading, in the sunshine. The Internet in the villa where I was staying was broken and it wasn't fixed until the Wednesday. So that screwed up my plans for last week hence why I barley posted anything.

On the Blog Last Two Weeks
Due to Internet issues I failed to post my Reading Plan for last week.

If you live in the UK you can still enter my Clear Out Giveaway. It is running until the 15th September. Click the picture for the link or HERE!!

What I Have Just Finished  
 
My Life Next Door by Huntley Fitzpatrick

I really enjoyed this book. It is a sweet summer read. I recommend you check it out. 

Currently Reading
Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally
Goodreads - Amazon.co.uk/.com - Book Depository
I have heard nothing but great things about this book. The fact that the lead girl is a footballer just adds that slight twist. However I know nothing about American football. It is not a sport played in the UK. I am still looking forward to this one. 

To Read Next
Night of the Purple Moon (The Toucan Triology #1) by Scott Cramer

It is coming up to the end of holidays which means it is time to knuckle down and do some work. At least blogging work is fun! I am now to attempt to get through some books that I received for review.

Reading Plan #14: Which Book Do I Read Next?













I know I didn't have a Reading Plan last week. That was because it would have been identical as the week before that. I suffered a bit of a reading slump during the Olympics fortnight (it is not every year the Olympics comes to your country) and I kind of got swept up in it. I am slowly getting out of it now.

On the Blog Last Week
I am aware that the giveway says 'Contest Over'. I do not know why it has done that because I set it to end on the 15/9/12 which is the date it still says it is set to on the Rafflecopter website. I have contacted Rafflecopter but it happened yesterday. I didn't expect a response on Sunday. Hopefully I can sort it out soon because people have already entered and I don't want to create a new widget. 

I also was going to have a review up for Unravelling by Elizabeth Norris yesterday as well but my computer deleted it before I could finish editing e.t.c. I haven't had time to re-do it but I expect it up soon. Sunday wasn't a good day for software.

What I Have Just Finished   
Losing Lila (Lila #2) by Sarah Alderson

This was the book that I was reading during the slump and therefore took me 10 days to read. If the Olympics wasn't on I would have probably read if faster as I really enjoyed it. Go check out the Lila series. It is pretty epic!

 Currently Reading

Defiance (Defiance #1) by C.J. Redwine
Goodreads - Amazon.co.uk/.com - Book Depository

I got this as an ARC and I am enjoying at the moment. It is one of those books that keeps you on your toes. Normally there comes a point where you think you know where the book is going or how things will pan out. Don't assume anything here.

To Read Next 

This is a very good question. When I'm getting out of a slump I don't tend to stick to my original plan but now I don't know which book to read next. I thought you guys could help me decide.

Catching Jordan by Miranda Kenneally
Goodreads - Amazon.co.uk/.com - Book Depository


Once Burned (Night Prince #1) by Jeaniene Frost
Something Like Normal by Trish Doller

Between the Lines (Between the Lines #1) by Tammara Webber

Maybe you could tell me in the comments which one you would recommend, if you have read any, or which one you would choose to read. If you haven't heard of any of these books before you can click one of the links which will lead to a synopsis. I think they all look really good.

Reading Plan #13












On the Blog Last Week  
I may have managed to get some posts up but I wasn't very chatty last week. I didn't do a lot of blogging and reading other peoples blogs. I blame it all on the Olympics. I have time to write and publish my posts and then I head straight back to watching the games again. When it is over and back to the normal rubbish, I will hopefully be back in the swing of things. The Olympics is also why I am reading really slowly. I manged one book in a week. Hmmm...

What I Have Just Finished
Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass #1) by Sarah J. Maas
 
While this may have taken me a week to read, I still enjoyed it. My review can be found here. 


Currently Reading


Losing Lila (Lila #2) by Sarah Alderson

I have just started this book. Three chapters in and I am already hooked. I cannot wait to see how this one pans out. 

I did receive this book this week and therefore could have done a Stacking the Shelves post but I was a little busy. My family has come down for the Olympics and I didn't have time Friday night. I should do one next week. 

To Read Next 

Once Burned (Night Prince #1) by Jeaniene Frost


Again, like I said last week, I love the Night Huntress series and I am looking forward to Vlad's tale. My friend has already read it and she couldn't stop laughing.
