Monday Musing (4)

Musing Monday is a weekly event where MizB of Should Be Reading will ask a book/reading-related question, and you answer with your own thoughts on the topic.

Question:

Other than working at a job, what is your biggest interruption to reading? What takes you away from your book(s)

 Answer:

Well this can be a lot of things. I don't work as I'm a stay at home mom but I tend to be a procrastinator when it comes to...well, life. I want to do so much things at the same that I wish I could have like 10 more of me to get everything done. I have phases. I read for a bit, then I change over to crochet, then I change over to Video Games...so yeah. At the moment I'm on Video Games so it's pretty much me wanting to do so much at the same time that I can't get a lot in. 

What's  your answer to Musing Monday? :)

Burn For Burn
By Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian

Expected Publish Date- September 18, 2012

Summary (From Goodreads)

The start of a brand-new young adult trilogy about three very different girls who overcome their differences and band together to seek revenge on those who have wronged them, uncovering a supernatural secret about what brought them together and why in the process. Each book will rotate back and forth between the perspectives of all three characters.

So I have seen this book flowing around and seen it on a few WoW's this week. I really love the cover, it's what drew me in. Honestly, I wish there was more of a summary then just what is posted. I may have to look around more. Are you wairing this book? What is your WoW?

Blind Spot
By Lauren Ellen

Expected Publish Date: October 23, 2012

 Summary (From Goodreads)

Seventeen-year-old Tricia Farni’s body floated to the surface of Alaska’s Birch River six months after the night she disappeared. The night Roz Hart had a fight with her. The night Roz can’t remember. Roz, who struggles with macular degeneration, is used to assembling fragments to make sense of the world around her. But this time it’s her memory that needs piecing together—to clear her name . . . to find a murderer. This unflinchingly emotional novel is written in the powerful first-person voice of a legally blind teen who just wants to be like everyone else.



This one sounded pretty good to me and I loved the cover!! What are you waiting for?

Musing Mondays (3)

Musing Monday is a weekly event where MizB of Should Be Reading will ask a book/reading-related question, and you answer with your own thoughts on the topic.

Question:

What do you think are the top 5 books every woman should read?

Answer:

Well. That can be a hard one. I don't read books that are "Just written for women" (or just for men) I read a lot of YA books so they are for both genders but I will try and answer it by counting down to my top one! :) 

5. The Lovely Bones- Alice Sebold

I heard of this book back when I was in High School. A Girl did a book report and I was instantly intrigued in reading it. It's a great read and as a mother I don't know what I would do if this happened to me. I felt what her father felt and I found myself striving to find out if they found her or not.

4. What was Lost- Catherine O'Flynn

This is another story of a young girl who goes missing. Again, I don't know what I would do. The story revolves around Kim's friend  and Kim herself and looking for the truth. It's an easy read and you get sucked in pretty quick.

3. I am Morgan le Fay- Nancy Springer

This is where my Fairytales began. I seen Cinderella and Snow White and all that Disney stuff but when I bought I am Morgan le Fay in a Schoolastic Book thing in Middle School that's when I began to like fairytales and magic and Fantasy. Always being around a realistic father It was nice to disappear in a story that I wished I could be in. It's a fantastic read for sure!!

2. White Oleander- Janet Fitch

I read this book before the movie and I loved it. I also loved the movie and if you seen the movie before reading it or didn't know that it was a book- go read it! It's full of morbidness and craziness, love and sadness. Every emotion in one book. It's one huge poem to me. The rantings of a messed up girl and I love books that are messed up and weird. This is one. It's a beautiful read!!

1. The Hunger Games (Trilogy)- Suzanne Collins

I don't have to explain these. You can read my reviews on what I thought about these books. I could have filled up 3 spots with these but I decided that all 3 are my Top 1 because you can't read 1 and not the other 2! My new favorite books. BY FAR! It will take a mind blower to knock these books out of the top 1 for me!

Letters In Cardboard Boxes- Abby Slovin

 

Pg 158.
Her mother took her reading glasses off and held them freely in her hands. They waved side to side as she spoke. "Parker, why do you think she got involved with that girl in the first place?"

So yes, I'm still reading this book. It was in my last Teaser Tuesday as well. I've been busy with things going on that I am having a hard time finding time at the moment!

Monday Musing (2)

(My Late MM)

 Musing Monday is a weekly event where MizB of Should Be Reading will ask a book/reading-related question, and you answer with your own thoughts on the topic.

Question:
Do you belong to any book clubs- face-to-face, or online? If so, how long have you been with the group(s)? If not, why?




Answer:
No. I'm not with any book clubs. I'm recently new to blogging and I had no idea that there were blook clubs online. But I guess the internet has everything anyway so I shouldn't be too surprised. haha.I've always wanted to be a part of a monthly book club in a friends home, even a craft night but it would be hard with no transportation and getting the people to join up. So maybe I may look into an online one :)
