Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish. Each week, bloggers get a topic for a list of ten things based on the topic. This weeks topic is:
Top Ten 2016 Releases I Meant To Read But Didn’t Get To (But TOTALLY plan to)
This is my first Top Ten Tuesday and I am super excited to be doing this so let’s get started.
Passenger by Alexandra Bracken
This Savage Song by Victoria Schwab
Rebel of the Sands by Alwyn Hamilton
And I Darken by Kiersten White
Ever the Hunted by Erin Summerill
The Thousandth Floor by Kathrine McGee
Stealing Snow by Danielle Page
I would have loved to have read all of these books but I just never got the chance and I am super upset I didn’t. I will hopefully read these this year.
Thanks for reading! I had a lot of fun participating in this Top Ten Tuesday thing. I hope I can do more in the future.
As the New Year approaches, this last year is coming to a close. It is almost hard to believe it has been a year already since last New Years Eve. I have decided to combine my December and 2016 wrap-up together because I don’t want to have five different posts coming out in the next two days and I am also extremely lazy.
So, to start with my December wrap up I think congratulations are in order to yours truly because I actually finished and went above and beyond my reading goal for this month. Not only did I read the two books I had planned to read this month but I also read four other books. That means 6 books total. And it may seem like I am tooting my own horn and I really am but I am very impressed with myself for reading this much this month. I would love to continue that streak but I probably won’t. Anyways so these are the books I read this month:
Click on the titles to go read my reviews on these stories which all of them were AMAZING. I found them to be really great reads and a few of them have made it onto my top reads of 2016 that will be listed later.
Apart from what I have read this month, I have also bought three books. My Book Buy of December has only one of the books I bought which I got in the mail a day ago and it was a little Christmas present for myself. After Christmas, I bought two books with my Christmas money that I have wanted since I went to Target and saw them on the shelf. the books I bought this month are:
I am super excited to read them and to be able to own those beautiful books.
Now for the moment you have all been waiting for…or haven’t been waiting for…if it isn’t why are you even reading this?..
I read 37 books this year and my goal was 30 books so I surpassed my goal. I am super happy I achieved that because I haven’t read very much the past few years so this year has been a changing point for me. I really have this blog to thank which I started on August 26th this year. This blog has mad eme want to write reviews and for that, I need to read. I am excited to see how many I read next year. If you want to see every book I read this year click here to see my reading challenge on Goodreads. I don’t have blog posts for all of my favorite books so I will link all these to their Goodreads.
My favorite books of 2016 are:
These books were flipping amazing and you can find all but the first four reviewed in my blog. I seriously loved these books. I am very happy with how my reading year turned out.
Now with the end of this post comes the end of 2016 for this blog. This shall be my last blog post of 2016 and I am excited to continue with this blog into the next year. I think this year has been a good year for me. I have a lot of good memories from this year and I hope to make much more in 2017. So with that, I bid adieu to 2016 and bonjour to the New Year.
Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!<3

“Once there was a world’s end.
The forests burned, the lakes and rivers dried up, and the oceans swelled.
Then came a plague, and fever spread across the globe. Families died, violence reigned, and man killed man.
Next came WICKED, who were looking for an answer. And then they found the perfect boy.
The boy’s name was Thomas, and Thomas built a maze.
Now there are secrets.
There are lies.
And there are loyalties history could never have foreseen.
This is the story of that boy, Thomas, and how he built a maze that only he could tear down.
All will be revealed.” -Goodreads

“After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.
Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king’s council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she’ll serve the kingdom for four years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. But she’s bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her … but it’s the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.
Then one of the other contestants turns up dead … quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined. -Goodreads
