Vacation TBR

Hey everyone! I was officially on vacation as of Friday at 4:30pm PST, but today is my first day of *actual* vacation! I have so many big goals of books to finish while I'm on vacation, but honestly if I just finish a couple, I would be extremely happy. But I think all of these are doable since I have a grand total of 11 days away from work. So here we go on my very lofty To Be Read on vacation goals!

  • The Trials of Apollo The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan: I have been reading this for the past week in between unpacking. I really want to finish this before I leave for my trip on Sunday, which I think is manageable since it's not too long and it's been fun and easy to read.
  • The Dark Prophecy by Rick Riordan: This is the second book in the series for the Trials of Apollo. I just got it so I'm hoping I can bust these two out back to back.
  • City of Lost Souls and City of Heavenly Fire by Cassandra Clare. I now own both of them and I really just want to fly through them so I can move on to the next series by Clare. 
  • The 100 by Kass Morgan: I own the whole series now I think (I can't physically see my bookshelves at the moment due to moving), so I'm really looking forward to getting through all of them at some point this year. I would really just like to start the series though at this point haha.
  • Scent of the Missing by Susannah Charleson: Impulse buy from Powells that I think is going to be adorable and I'm going to love. I love anything with dogs, espeically if they don't die in the end. So I'm hopeful.
  • The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee: The synopsis for this book sounds adorable and I'm really looking forward to getting into it this vacation. Flight book? Ohhhhh ideas!

TV shows that made me want to read the books

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but I like to watch new shows before I read the books they're based on. If I hate the premise of the show, I'm certainly going to hate the book. But there have been a couple of TV shows over the years that have made me want to read the books that they're based on, just because I love the worlds that are built so much. Outlander is one of those shows that I heard about for so long, but I never really watched it. I knew everyone loved it, and it was really good, but I just never got into the idea of it. Then someone recommended the book to me. I know this is backwards from what this post was supposed to be, but I read the first book, and then watched the first season, and decided I was going to continue reading the series and then following it up with the show.  Currently I'm on book 4 Drums of Autumn. I know the last season has a lot of spoilers for it, but I'm still excited to finally get a chance to sit down and re...

January Bingo

Image
This month I will be participating in a book bingo from The Book Democracy. This is my sheet before anything is filled in. Each week I'll post updates of how far I've gotten. My goal is one bingo by the end of the month. The rules are simple.  1. ONE book a month may be used on TWO squares, not including the free space. 2. Books must be started AND finished in the month of the bingo event 3. Books must be over 150 pages, and be middle grade level and above. Children's classics count as they are long enough.  4. Graphic Novels can only be used for the "Graphic Novel" prompt.  My plan of attack: Multiple POV: Day 21 by Kass Morgan LGBTQIA main character: A Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue (restart) by Mackenzi Lee Shape shifting character: Stolen by Kelley Armstrong Book that's older than you: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen Intimidating Book: Drums of Autumn by Diana Gabaldon Popsugar challenge 2019: Norse Mythology ...

The 100

Author: Kass Morgan Read: 7/18/2018 Pages: 326 Rating: 4 Format: physical Response: I enjoyed this more than the show on the CW, and I love that show. I really like Bellamy and Clarke here as compared to the first season of the TV show. Luke and Glass was something I wasn't expecting, and at first I was not a fan, but they grew on me. It was interesting to see what families were willing to do to protect each other and keep the people they loved safe. The point of view changes every chapter, and while I don't typically like changes in POV, it was well played. Where other writers send you across time with the switch, Morgan kept it all on the same timeline (aside from flashbacks), so when you were done seeing what was happening on Earth, she flipped you up to space for what was happening right then.
