Top of My Pile (10)



Hey there and welcome to Top of My Pile! I decided to start this post because I often times feel the need to talk about the book that I'm currently reading and throw out some of the thoughts I have before I finish it! I usually have all these crazy theories about how the story is going to end or what's going to happen to the main characters. But by the time I get around to writing my review, I forget what was swirling around in my head. So that's why I started this new Saturday post. It also gives me a chance to let you know what I read this week and also, what I'm planning on reading next.

Currently Reading:


Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout
I keep forgetting that I'm reading this book because I have it on my iPhone! I'm about 100 pages into it and I'm absolutely loving it! Unfortunately, Los Angeles did not win but I'm still super excited for Opal to be coming out so soon!

Cinder by Marissa Meyer
I just started this book, like only finished the first chapter started it.  I already think it's interesting and I hope I love it!

Time Between Us by Tamara Ireland Stone
Ghost is the Machine by Patrick Carman

Time change is not usually this hard for me but I've had a rough week of headaches and feeling really tired.  Yesterday and today I've been feeling much better and I look forward to a great week next week of blogging and reading!

Currently Reading:


Renegade by J.A. Souders
I'm about 100 pages into Renegade and I'm really loving it! I'm excited to see where this story leads and learn the truth about Elysium and Mother. 

Onyx by Jennifer L. Armentrout
So I just discovered that I can download the Nook app to my iPhone and then read ebooks on my phone! So the first book I decided to read on my phone is Onyx and boy am I loving it! Daemon is so freaking hot and I love it when he calls Katy Kitten.  I just melt!! If you get a chance head over to the Entangled website and vote Los Angeles for the Opal release party!

Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks
This month for book club we are reading Birdsong. I'm about 50 pages in and I really like it so far. It has some elements that remind me of A Farewell to Arms by Earnest Hemingway which is the first book that ever made me cry. 

Reading this week:


The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate
The Archived by Victoria Schwab

I've set a noble goal for myself this week to, hopefully make up for last week. But I figured I have a lot of time to kill this week so I might as well read! Have a great week!

Currently Reading:


Something Red by Douglas Nicholas
I'm reading Something Red for book club this month and I have to admit it is a bit of a snooze fest. I'm about two hundred pages in and not much has happened.  And it's not even as scary as I hoped it would be! I hope something really awesome happens at the end!

Red Rain by R.L. Stine
Red Rain was pretty much my holy grail and I've been holding out until Halloween time to read it. And now I'm finally reading it! So far it's pretty good and a bit of a slow creepy build up! That kid is really creepy!

Some Girls Bite (audio book) by Chloe Neill
I've just started listening to Some Girls Bite and I'm really liking it! I guess I'm on chapter two and I'm really hoping for a kick ass semi sexy adventure! 

Reading this week:


Dracula by Bram Stoker
I have never read this book! I KNOW! I decided that close to Halloween would be a great time to do that!

Loved the first one and I can't wait to continue the series!

I've told you guys before that I've read the whole Harry Potter series a couple of years ago.  Since then I feel like I've lost some of the magic and decided to participate in a re-read.  I follow along with the Alohomora podcast and they go 2 chapters at a time. The hosts are really awesome and they're always giving new insights that I wouldn't have thought of.  It's a lot of fun and I've been really enjoying the in-depth analysis that they give. 

Enclave by Anne Aguire
I just started Enclave last night and I've only read the first chapter.  I can already feel how dark the book it and I think I'm really going to like it.  I've heard it's kind of a zombie book so we'll see!

Fever by Lauren DeStefano
The Turning by Francine Prose
Little Magic Shop of Horrors by Annette and Gina Cascone

I am really loving this book! Lincoln and Violet pretty much make out every time they need to heal each other which pretty much means that I would be trying to get injured as much as possible!! Even so, I'm completely frustrated with Lincoln right now because he is keeping so many secrets and running off with stupid Madga. And I'm thinking there might be a new possible love interest for Violet in Spence.  I also love that Violet's BFF Steph isn't getting left in the dark! Entice is turning out to be a great sequel so far!
