TBR

I'm giving myself quite a few books to choose between since I'm not entirely sure what I'm in the mood for right now, but I'm hoping to finish at least 3 of these books.

Updates

Monday

Books read: The Heir by Kiera Cass and Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry

No. of pages read: 362 pages

Comments: Off to a great start so far. I've finished my first book - The Heir by Kiera Cass - which wasn't on my TBR list... Oops! And then I started reading Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry, but I've only read 2% (roughly 10 pages) so far, but I'm hoping to get this one finished tomorrow!

Tuesday

Books read: Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry and Broken Juliet by Leisa Rayven

No. of pages read: 690 pages

Comments: Day 2 has been a brilliant reading day! Despite getting distracted by Arrow and Game of Thrones this morning, I still managed to finish two books! Nowhere But Here was really good, not as good as McGarry's PTL series (imo), but I still really enjoyed it. Broken Juliet was a fantastic follow up to Bad Romeo. Super hot and full of angst; I adored it.

Wednesday

Books read: -

No. of pages read: 0

Comments: Very busy day today, so I never had a chance to get any reading done. Oh well.

Thursday

Books read: The Cage by Megan Shepherd

No. of pages read: 188 pages

Comments: Another busy day today, but I did manage to get some reading done! I was at the dentist this morning, then went to the cinema to see Mad Max. So I didn't start reading until I got home around half 5 and I managed to get almost halfway through The Cage, so hopefully I'll get that finished tomorrow!

Friday

Books read: The Cage by Megan Shepherd

No. of pages read: 36 pages

Comments: Haven't really felt much like reading today. I was up late last night because I couldn't sleep/because of my cold, so I slept until about 12 and I had to go out at 3.

Saturday

Books read: The Cage by Megan Shepherd

No. of pages read: 176 pages

Comments: I finally managed to finish The Cage today! Woo! I finally figured out why it was taking so long to get through - I wasn't really enjoying it. The story was pretty 'meh' up until 93% when there was a pretty big twist that I hadn't anticipated and only then did I find myself interested in the story and I'm curious to see what's going to happen next. I'm hoping I'll be able to squeeze in one more book tomorrow!

Sunday

Books read: To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han (re-read) & Always the Bridesmaid by Lindsay Kelk

No. of pages read: 632 pages

Comments: The final day of bout of books has been a great reading day for me. I decided to re-read To All the Boys by Jenny Han because I just needed to, and I'd planned on that being my last read but I got through it really quickly and moved onto Always the Bridesmaid by Lindsay Kelk. I got just over halfway through this one and I'm extremely happy!

Total

Books read: The Heir by Kiera Cass; Nowhere But Here by Katie McGarry; Broken Juliet by Leisa Rayven; The Cage by Megan Shepherd; To All the Boys I've Loved Before by Jenny Han & Always the Bridesmaid by Lindsay Kelk

Comments: I'm extremely happy with my reading during this bout of books, I managed to read more books than I'd planned to! I didn't get to take part in any of the twitter chats - which sucks - but I took part in a few of the challenges. Also, I didn't visit as many blogs as I usually do, which I'm definitely going to fix.
