New Blog...

For anyone who happens to come across this, I decided to start a new blog called In The Stars Above, where I will talk about everything, not just books. I found this blog to be a little restricting because I could inly talk about books and I'm not reading enough lately for this to be enough. So head on over there for books, films, fashion and more.

Series I Need To Finish

Here is a list of all the book series that I have started and want to finish. There are many series that I have started and don't really want to finish, but these are the ones that I will be trying to finish over the next year/

Uglies Series - Scott Westerfeld
I've read the first book of this series, but need to read the two sequels and the spin off. I've heard good things, and I enjoyed Uglies, it's just taking me a while to get around to it.

Study Series - Maria V Snyder
I've read two of the three books of the initial books in this series. Snyder has then written another trilogy in the same world that I don't really know a lot about, so I may not read the,, but I definitely want to read Fire Study.

Black Dagger Brotherhood - J R Ward
I lover this series so much, but I was borrowing them from the local library so since I caught up with the publication and my library didn't have new releases, I've fallen behind. I want to buy them all and re-read them all, because I can't remember exactly which book I'd gotten up to

Throne of Glass Series - Sarah J Maas
I was a massive fan of the first book, preordered the second, then never got around to reading the third. Not the fourth book is out and I haven't even bought it yet. I really need to focus on getting this series read.

The Lunar Chronicles - Marissa Meyer
I think this is the series that I most want to finish. The only reason I haven't is that Winter only recently got released and I haven't been able to afford to buy it, but it is the first thing I will be spending my birthday and christmas money on.

Winter Break TBR

In a week, my Christmas holiday begins and I will be back home for about a month before university starts up again. Over that time, I want to get through several both, both for my studies and just for my own reading pleasure. So here are what I am going to try and get through.

1. Great Expctations by Charles Dickens

Part of my study of Victorian novels at university, this is a book that I've been wanting to read for ages but just haven't gotten round to it, so I'm glad to finally have something that will force me to read it.

2. A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab

I heard so many good things about this book so I broke my book buying ban to purchase it, so this will be my Christmas read this year.

3. Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut

I'm also studying post-modernism at university, which is what this falls under. I don't know much about this, I think it has something to do with WWII but I'm not sure.

4. The Road by Cormac McCarthy

Another of my university reads for a unit on science fiction and dystopia, The Road is a book that I have already tried to read and despised. It took me three weeks to get to about 100 pages, at which point I gave up, but I really need to finish it now.

5. We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

I bought this a while ago when there was a lot of hype surrounding it, but then I head from various people that it wasn't worth the hype and so that put me off, but I have decided to give it a go for myself.

6. The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins

Another Victorian novel, this is a bloody long book. I'm trying to listen to an audio book of this, but that also takes a long time.

7. Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas

I love Throne of Glass from the beginning, preordered Crown of Midnight, and then just haven't gotten round to reading this somehow. I want to catch up though, which is why I ahve put this on my TBR.

What books are on your TBR this festive season?
