Hey guys! It is October… it’s so cold I can see my own breath and I am not liking it AT ALL!! I didn’t post one of these last week because it was a bank holiday… so Monday felt like a Sunday and then I got all confused because I thought Tuesday was Monday and I was like… oops! Anyway, I’m here now! So without further ado, here is a book that is lying on my monster list that I call my TBR…

Solitaire by Alice Oseman

Published: July 31st 2014 by Harper Collins

In case you’re wondering, this is not a love story.

My name is Tori Spring. I like to sleep and I like to blog. Last year – before all that stuff with Charlie and before I had to face the harsh realities of A-Levels and university applications and the fact that one day I really will have to start talking to people – I had friends. Things were very different, I guess, but that’s all over now.

Now there’s Solitaire. And Michael Holden.

I don’t know what Solitaire are trying to do, and I don’t care about Michael Holden.

I really don’t.

I actually completely forgot about this book, so when I saw it on my TBR on Goodreads, I thought it would be a great pick for this week! I absolutely love the cover and, now that I have re read the blurb, I’m anxious to get a copy!

What books do you have on your TBR’s? Feel free to tell me in the comments and link me up if you participate!

The Thousandth Floor by Katharine McGee

Published: August 30th 2016 by Harper Collins

A thousand-story tower stretching into the sky. A glittering vision of the future where anything is possible—if you want it enough.

WELCOME TO MANHATTAN, 2118.

A hundred years in the future, New York is a city of innovation and dreams. Everyone there wants something…and everyone has something to lose.

LEDA COLE’s flawless exterior belies a secret addiction—to a drug she never should have tried and a boy she never should have touched.

ERIS DODD-RADSON’s beautiful, carefree life falls to pieces when a heartbreaking betrayal tears her family apart.

RYLIN MYERS’s job on one of the highest floors sweeps her into a world—and a romance—she never imagined…but will this new life cost Rylin her old one?

WATT BAKRADI is a tech genius with a secret: he knows everything about everyone. But when he’s hired to spy for an upper-floor girl, he finds himself caught up in a complicated web of lies.

And living above everyone else on the thousandth floor is AVERY FULLER, the girl genetically designed to be perfect. The girl who seems to have it all—yet is tormented by the one thing she can never have.

Amid breathtaking advancement and high-tech luxury, five teenagers struggle to find their place at the top of the world. But when you’re this high up, there’s nowhere to go but down….

I actually have this book sitting on my shelf waiting for me to read! I have heard some amazing things, so I can’t wait to dig into it!

Have you guys read this book yet? Did you enjoy it?

Stacking the Shelves

Stacking the Shelves is hosted at Tynga’s Reviews

Hey guys! Clearly this month isn’t being very kind to my purse because I have another two books for you this week! Well, technically, I bought one of them myself. The other was sent to me by an amazing author and I cannot wait to get into it!

Shiny Broken Pieces by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton.

Published: July 12th 2016 by HarperCollins

So, I actually ordered this last week, but I had to wait for Amazon to get some in stock and it just took forever!!

Vault of Dreams by Luke Taylor

Expected Publication: July 31st 2016 – Self Published

Can you imagine that it takes WEEKS to send a book over from America to Germany. WEEKS! That is how lazy our postal systems are… or customs! Who knows! However, I have the signed ARC now, so my heart can rest at ease! I can’t wait to jump into this story and I just want to thank the author (again) for sending me a copy!! 😀

So, that’s it for me! I promise I will attempt to withhold buying new books next week because… I think I have enough to be getting on with! What am I saying… Never enough books!

What have you guys added to your shelves this week? Feel free to drop by and leave me your links and I will check them all out!

Waiting on Wednesday

Waiting on Wednesday is hosted at Breaking the Spine

Hey guys! It is time for another Waiting on Wednesday! This week’s pick I recently added to my TBR, but I cannot wait to grab a copy because it deals with some very relevant issues to today’s society! Definitely looking forward to finding out how the author tackles the subject!

Just a Girl by Carrie Mesrobian

Expected Publication: March 28th 2017 by Harper Collins

Taking a hard look at the societal conventions that constrain teenage girls, William C. Morris Award finalist Carrie Mesrobian tells one girl’s story with bracing honesty and refreshing authenticity.

By her senior year of high school, Rianne has exhausted all the fun there is to have in small town Wereford, Minnesota. Volleyball season is winding down, the parties all feel tired, and now that she’s in a serious relationship with reformed player Luke Pinsky, her wild streak has ended. Not that she ever did anything more than the guys her age did…but she knows what everyone thinks of her.

Including her parents. Divorced but now inexplicably living together again, Rianne wonders why they’re so quick to point out every bad choice she’s making when they can’t even act like adults. With an uncomfortable home life and her once-solid group of friends now dissolving, the reasons for sticking around after high school are few. So why is Rianne in lockstep when it comes to figuring out her future?

That’s not the only question Rianne can’t answer. Lately she’s been wondering why, when she has a perfect-on-paper boyfriend, she wants anything but. Or how it is that Sergei, a broken-English-speaking Russian, understands her better than anyone who’s known her all her life? And why has Rianne gotten stuck with an “easy girl” reputation for doing the same exact things guys do without any judgment? Carrie Mesrobian, acclaimed author of Sex & Violence and Cut Both Ways, sets fire to the unfair stereotypes and contradictions that persist even in the twenty-first century. 

Definitely looks like an interesting read, and I can’t wait to see how this author deals with the issues this society has with women acting like men!

What are you guys waiting for? Feel free to leave links and comments and I will check them all out!

Top Ten Tuesday

Top Ten Tuesday is hosted by the Broke and Bookish

Hey guys! It’s freebie week! So, I was scrolling through the TBR pile on my Goodreads and I found a lot of series that I need to start! Like… a lot a lot. So, I have decided to do my TTT on top ten series I need to start reading… soon! In no particular order:

10.  Wicked by Jennifer L. Armentrout. Published December 8th 2014. I have been meaning to read more of Armentrouts work since I read Don’t Look Back almost 2 years ago. Clearly I need to get around to it!!!

9.  Avery by Charlotte McConaghy. Published February 2nd 2015 by Random House Australia. I have heard so much about this book and I have been meaning to get to it for a while! It definitely looks unique – plus the cover is a bonus!

8.  Storm Siren by Mary Weber. Published August 19th 2014 by Harper Collins. I have been seeing this book floating around a lot lately and it is definitely something I want to read myself and make up my own mind about!

7.  Into the Light by Aleatha Romig Published June 14th 2016 by Thomas and Mercer. Ok, so this was only very recently published, and I have been trying to catch up on my series recently so that I can start some new ones, but I still need to read this book!!

6.  The Outliers by Kimberly McCreight Published May 3rd 2016 by Harper Collins.  Again, this book was only published earlier on this year, but I have heard so much about it since then and I cannot wait to grab my own copy!

5.  Never Never by Colleen Hoover and Tarry Fisher. Published January 7th 2015 by Hoover Ink. I actually already have a copy of this on my kindle waiting for me – I managed to grab a freebie from Amazon! Can’t wait to get stuck into it!

4.  Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes. Published December 11 2012 by Razorbill. This is another book that I have been seeing a lot of recently, despite its publication date coming from 2012!

3.  City of Bones by Cassandra Clare. Published March 27th 2007 by Margaret K. McElderry Books. I have never actually read a Cassandra Clare books that she wrote on her own. I read the Iron Trial a while back, which she co wrote with Holly Black, but this is a series that I clearly need to start! Preferably before someone decides to hit me around the head with this book!

2.  Air Awakens by Elise Kova Published August 27th 2015 by Silver Wing Press. Again, this is another book I have waiting for me on my kindle. I am an impulsive buyer with no self control and it just ends up with me having books pretty much everywhere waiting to be read. Just like this one!

1.  The Queen of All the Dies by Laura Thalassa. Published January 15th 2015 by Lavabrook Publishing Group. This book has been hyped up by pretty much everyone who has read it! I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy!

So thats it! What did you guys choose to do this week? Feel free to leave links and comments and I will check them all out!
