Heidi's Haven

Hello everyone! It's a little bit late, but I wanted to show you guys my October TBR- all of the books that I hope to read this month. I can already see that it's a bit ambitious and I probably won't read them all, but I'll leave them in anyways and get to as many as I can. For October, I picked a variety of spooky/scary books. Dorothy Must Die  by Danielle Paige Last Seen Leaving  by Caleb Roehrig Horns  by Joe Hill Beautiful Creatures  by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl The Coldest Girl in Coldtown  by Holly Black What are you reading this month? xx Heidi

Hello everyone! Just the other day I posted my March wrap-up, which means that it's also time for my April TBR! I'm not very good at sticking to my TBR, but I am getting better. Who knows, maybe this will be the month that I actually read all of the books from my TBR post. Empire Girls  by Suzanne Hayes and Loretta Nyhan (currently reading)\ An Ember in the Ashes  by Sabaa Tahir The Selection  by Kiera Cass A Court of Thorns and Roses  by Sarah J. Maas Wedding Night  by Sophie Kinsella Etiquette and Espionage  by Gail Carriger In addition to these books, I would like to read one or two books from The Series of Unfortunate Events as well. Even if I don't read all of these this month, I would like to try sticking to my TBR and at least making a dent in it. Let me know what books are on your TBR for April, and also tell me if you're read any of the books I plan on reading! xx Heidi

Looking through my bookshelf here at school, I realized that I have a ton of books that I really need to read. I say this for a couple of reasons. First of all, I still have unread books that I had on my TBR way back in October. Secondly, there are a few series that I need to read the last book of that I really need to get to and finish. So I think that March reading will be dedicated to reading the books I've been meaning to read for months and finally finishing some series. Here are all of the books I hope to read this month. Outlander  by Diana Gabaldon- I'm currently reading this one, and it's taking me quite some time. I'm really enjoying it, but I'm just not speeding through it like I normally read.  Gabriel and the Swallows  by Esther Dalseno The Selection  by Kiera Cass The Battle of the Labyrinth  by Rick Riordan The Last Olympian  by Rick Riordan Anna and the French Kiss  by Stephanie Perkins Wedding Night  by Sophie Kin...

This year, I set my Goodreads reading goal for 100 books, which is a little crazy. I know I'm probably not going to make it to 100, but I'm really going to try. I'm okay with not reaching the goal, but that's what I want to work towards. So far, I'm really happy with my reading this year. I read quite a bit in January since I wasn't working and I didn't start school again until the very end of the month. Here's what I read in January: Monkeys and the Chair: Josiah's Story  by Renee Oppenheim Peacock- 1/5 stars All Wound Up  by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee- 5/5 stars Dangerous Love  by Ray Norman- 4/5 stars The Dead and the Gone  by Susan Beth Pfeffer- 3/5 stars Keeping the Moon  by Sarah Dessen- 3/5 stars This World We Live in  by Susan Beth Pfeffer- 4/5 stars Mount Vernon Love Story  by Mary Higgins Clark- 2/5 stars Perfect  by Ellen Hopkins- 5/5 stars Shatter Me  by Tahereh Mafi- 4/5 stars Red Queen  by Victoria Aveyard...

Hello, there! Unfortunately, I didn't get to read as much as I did last month, and I didn't stick to my TBR list at all. School has been keeping me insanely busy, and I've been knitting/crocheting a lot of Christmas gifts lately. Also, I was having some trouble getting into the two books that I'm currently reading. So, here's what I read in November. The Amazing Book is Not on Fire  by Dan Howell and Phil Lester- I found a signed copy of this book at Target and I am so excited! Dan and Phil touched my book! It's a very fun, quick read that I recommend for anyone who enjoys their YouTube videos. I gave this book 5/5 stars on Goodreads. Unconfessed  by Yvette Christianse- This is a book that I had to read for one of my English classes. It's about a slave woman in South Africa who is sent to a prison. It deals with all of the injustices and bad things that happened to her. It was interesting and easy to get through, though I only gave it 2/5 stars. ...

I actually read a lot in October, which surprised me since I had a lot of homework last month as well. I also didn't stick to my TBR list that I posted last month. This is because I had to read a few books for school. I also borrowed a couple of books from friends, and I try to read books that I borrow quickly so I can give it back right away. Here's what I read in October... The Lost Hero  by Rick Riordan 5/5 stars The Kneeling Christian  by Anonymous 5/5 stars What Alice Forgot  by Liane Moriarty 4/5 stars  Alice in Zombieland  by Gena Showalter 4/5 stars The Prodigal God  by Timothy Keller 4/5 stars Cracking India  by Bapsi Sidhwa 2/5 stars Through the Zombie Glass  by Gena Showalter 3/5 stars Running out of Time  by Margaret Peterson Haddix 4/5 stars I'm hoping that I can read that much this month, too. Reading even more would be nice, especially since I'm way behind on my goal for the whole year.  Here's my TBR fo...

Unfortunately, I have limited space in my apartment at my new school, which means that I could only take a couple of books with me when I moved. These books are ones that have been in my TBR mountain  pile for a long time that I really wanted to read, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. I realize I'm a little premature with this TBR, since it's still September, but with how busy I am with school I probably won't be getting to read much until October. 1. The Lost Hero  by Rick Riordan I have heard really good things about this author, though I haven't read any of his other books yet. I think it's in the same sort of universe as the Percy Jackson series. I've read a couple of chapters so far and I'm really enjoying it! 2. Dreamland  by Sarah Dessen I really love some of Sarah Dessen's books, while some are just okay. This book is pretty short, so it will be a nice, quick read.  3. Wedding Night  by Sophie Kinsella I abs...

Hello everyone! Being the bookworm that I am, I am always on the lookout for good books, and good deals on those books. However, I do not read the books as fast as I buy them, which has led to a large stack of books sitting in my room. I am hoping to finish up quite a few of these books of Christmas break.  Here are some of the books from the stack that I'm especially excited to read. Lucky  by Alice Sebold Sing You Home  by Jodi Picoult Songs of the Humpback Whale  by Jodi Picoult Perfect Match  by Jodi Picoult The Storyteller  by Jodi Picoult You Have Seven Messages  by Stewart Lewis Eragon  by Christopher Paolini Charlotte and Emily  by Jude Morgan The Secret Life of Josephine  by Carolly Erickson Safe Haven  by Nicholas Sparks Bridget Jones's Diary  by Helen Fielding True Colors  by Kristin Hannah Brief Gaudy Hour  by Margaret Campbell Barnes Life of Pi  by Yann Martel The Lo...
