February TBR | 2015 - Starting Those Series

I may be over achieving here, as I realized after snapping the above picture that I will be receiving two new releases in the mail this month that I would also like to read upon arrival ("Morning Star" by Pierce Brown, and "Glass Sword" by Victoria Aveyard. And at the end of the month "A Gathering of Shadows" by V.E. Schwabs). So we shall see if this months TBR actually happens.

This months theme is starting new Fantasy series by never before read authors.

First is "The Final Empire" by Brandon Sanderson, book one in the Mistborn trilogy. Then I will be reading "Theft of Swords" by Michael J. Sullivan, book one in the Riyria Revelations. And finally "The Red Knight" by Miles Cameron, book one in The Traitor Son Cycle.

January TBR | 2016

It felt very odd to put that 2016 up there in the post header.

Okay guys, I'm keeping it a little more realistic this month. My goal for the month is four books. Yes, just four books. 2016 is going to be a different year of reading, which I will be discussing shortly in a different blog post. So my first book is "Golden Son" by Pierce Brown, which I am actually currently reading. This is the second book in the Red Rising trilogy, and the third and final book in this trilogy will be published in February. Next I have "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" by Laini Taylor, first book in a trilogy. I am unsure what my thoughts will be concerning this particular one since it is a young adult book, and I am trying to steer clear of young adult here in the new year. Next are two very well known books from the adult fantasy genre that I have just been dying to read. "The Final Empire" by Brandon Sanderson, book one in the Mistborn trilogy. And "A Game of Thrones" by George R.R. Martin, first book in the Song of Fire and Ice series.

December TBR | 2015

December is upon us, and with December comes the Christmas season as well as the conclusion to the year. The less logical part of me desires to read as many books as possible in order to end this years reading on a high note, but the more logical part of me knows that this month is going to be busy ... and this TBR might not happen. I am carrying over two and a half books from my November TBR that I did not complete. The first being "The Assassin's Blade" by Sarah J. Maas, a Throne of Glass Novella. I am currently about half way through this one. Then "Queen of Shadows" by Sarah J. Maas, fourth book in the Throne of Glass series. This will bring me up to date on the Throne of Glass series. Book five will be released in 2016. The other book that I am carrying over from last month is "Golden Son" by Pierce Brown, book two in the Red Rising trilogy. The third book is being published in February of 2016 so I want to read this one so that I can jump into the third one. Then the next three are maybes for this month. I want to start a few new series and trilogies by some new authors that I have never read before. "Daughter of Smoke and Bone" by Laini Taylor, "Shadow and Bone" by Leigh Bardugo, and "The Final Empire" by Brandon Sanderson. All authors that I have desired to try.

November TBR | 2015 - Conquer That Series Edition

For the month of November my reading plans involve conquering some book series that I have started over the course of the year. First I plan on reading the final two books in "The Monstrumologist" series by Rick Yancey, "The Isle of Blood", and "The Final Descent". This will complete the series for me. Then I plan on catching up on the "Throne of Glass" series by Sarah J. Maas. "Crown of Midnight", "Heir of Fire", "The Assassin's Blade" novella, and "Queen of Shadows". This is going to be a six book series, with four books and one novella currently released. I read the first book in the series earlier in the year and I really need to read the rest of them. Then I plan on reading "Golden Son" by Pierce Brown, second book in the "Red Rising" trilogy. The Third book is due to be released in February. I will also probably try to fit "Winter" by Marissa Meyer in there somewhere. It is being released on November 10th and is the final book in "The Lunar Chronicles".

October TBR | 2015

For the month of October I have a selection of horror/spooky/creepy/dark/paranormal books picked out from my personal home library. October is the perfect time to read this genre, and read them I shall. I am not sure if I am over extending myself on this months reading goals but these are just the books that I would like to read but might not necessary get to.

The last three books in "The Monstrumologist" series by Rick Yancey. I read the first book in this series earlier and absolutely loved it. I think that these three books will make delightfully spooky reads for this month, and it will also be completing a book series in the process. "The Curse of the Wendigo", "The Isle of Blood", and "The Final Descent".

"The Archived" and "The Unbound" by Victoria Schwab. I adore Victoria Schwab as a writer so this may just be a excuse to read more of her books.

"The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" by Robert Louis Stevenson.

"Neverwhere" by Neil Gaiman.

"Invasion of the Body Snatchers" by Jack Finney.

"The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and other stories" by Washington Irving.

"The Haunting of Hill House" by Shirley Jackson.

And one or two books by H.P. Lovecraft.

September 2015 TBR

I'm not sure at this point and time which books I will be undertaking during the month of September, so I will list the ones that I know that I will be reading and go from there.

12954620

"Falling Kingdoms" by Morgan Rhodes, book one in the "Falling Kingdoms" series. This book has so much hype surrounding it and I am really curious to see what its all about. I have this first book on my most recent Barnes and Noble order, so it should be arriving later this week. I want to read the first book before I purchase any of the other books in the series.

"Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" by Ransom Riggs. With the third and final book of this trilogy coming out in September I think that it is about time that I read this one. I have heard some really great things about it and I hope that I am not disappointed because it sounds right up my alley.

I would possibly like to read "Daughter of Smoke & Bone" by Laini Taylor during the month of September.






16101128



"The 5th Wave" by Rick Yancey is also on my radar for this upcoming month.








I really just want to see where the path takes me during September however and I don't want to force myself to read any books when I'm really just not in the mood for that particular book, so although I want to read these books in the upcoming month I'm not making it a goal of mine.
