Friday Finds

Friday Finds is a weekly event started by Should be Reading where you share the books you’ve found throughout the week. These don’t have to be purchases, just books that you added to your TBR.

I went a little crazy on Goodreads this week, so I'm definitely not going to list everything I've added to my TBR, but I will tell you what happened and how I got to adding so much!

Basically, I added another shelf. I called it 'long tbr' and it's my way of adding a million books to my list without feeling guilty for my long list (which happens, even though it's silly) or feeling overwhelmed by all the books. The shelf is going to be a place for all the books I might read, but don't see myself reading by the end of the year. Therefore, I was able to cut down my regular to-read shelf by A LOT.

Here is the link to my new shelf, and here are a couple random books that I've added recently:

 

Suspicion by Alexandra Monir

This cover is so pretty. The story itself reminds me of The Maze Runner (maze, secrets . . .), although I can definitely see the differences. It was just the first comparison I made when reading the plot. I'm excited to see what happens in this one. It's not released until December 9th, though, so it will be a wait!

 

On the Fence Kasie West

I have seen so many great reviews for this and it seems like a super quick read, but if I'm honest the cover throws me off. I really don't like it, but I've decided to give this one a try sometime. Let me know if you've read this and enjoyed it though - maybe it'll convince me to read it sooner.

Here are the books I’ve added to my TBR this week:

Dream On by M. Kircher

When Em's father is killed, her mother loses herself in dreams. Like Em, she can stay in these dreams for as long as she chooses. In order to support them, Em begins to write the dreams her mother has into books. When Gabe, a huge fan of the author he thinks is Em's mother, enters the picture, he's determined to find out the truth. Together, they will enter the dream world of Em's mother and try to convince her to wake up.

This one sounds so cool - the only reason I haven't read it yet is because I'm waiting for my review copy from the author. When it comes, it will be first on my to-read list.

Top Ten Clues You're Clueless by Liz Czukas

I don't know so much about this one, but I adore the cover. It comes out in December and I'm super excited about the release, so hopefully it turns out to be a great one!

Here are the books I’ve added to my TBR this week:

Sam Cruz's Infallible Guide to Getting Girls by Tellulah Darling

I feel like I'll either love this one or hate it. I read a great review and am looking forward to it, however the review made it sound similar to Me, Earl, and the Dying Girl, and I didn't finish that book. I actually wrote a "DNF (did not finish) Review" of that one here.

I'm still hoping for the best on this one, though, so we'll see. I'm excited to get around to it.

Venom by Fiona Paul

This isn't my usual genre, but I've been meaning to try some historical fiction lately. Since I've heard good things, I added this one to my TBR. I can't get to it soon, but hopefully sometime.

Boys Don't Knit by T.S. Easton

I saw this one awhile back and was unsure. However, when I read this review, I decided to give it a chance. It sounds great and I'm really looking forward to it.

Here are the books I’ve added to my TBR this week:

Slated by Teri Terry

This one seems promising. I love the plot idea, a young girl who has had her memory wiped and is told she was a terrorist. Children who are 'slated' like Kyla are then sent into foster-care and given a second chance at their lives.

A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall

This one sounds so fun! It's a love story told in several perspectives - from the best friends to a delivery guy. It comes out late August and I can't wait to get ahold of it.

When You Were Mine by Rebecca Serle

A retelling of Romeo and Juliet in Rosaline's point of view. I tried to read this when it was free on pulseit.com, however it didn't grab my interest at the time. I believe I was just looking for a different type of book, so I'm going to give this one another shot.

The View From Who I Was by Heather Sappenfield

This one seems so mysterious. I can't really tell enough from the blurb to give any kind of summary myself - it seems like some force (maybe uncontrolled magic?) caused Oona's body to try freezing itself to death as she watched in an out-of-body type of experience. It comes out in January next year.

I also added Royal Wedding and From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess by Meg Cabot, which I found pretty exciting! Neither of them have covers yet and both are set to be released in 2015. Royal Wedding continues The Princess Diaries with an adult Mia and Michael (!!!) and From the Notebooks... is about Mia's long lost half-sister. The second seems a bit iffy to me, but of course I'll still be reading.

Here are the books I’ve added to my TBR this week:

Falling Into Place by Amy Zhang

Let's Get Lost by Adi Alsaid

Neither of these have been released yet, but I've heard such good things already. Those with ARCs seem to love them and I can't wait to read them as well.

Here are the books I've added to my TBR this week:

Small as an Elephant by Jennifer Richard Jacobson
I really don't know much about this one, but the cover is adorable! I found it while searching Goodreads.

Fire and Flood by Victoria Scott
I entered a giveaway for this one. Although I didn't win, at least now I know of the book! It seems pretty fast-paced and action-y which is exactly the kind of book I've been looking for lately.

A Need So Beautiful by Suzanne Young
I don't remember how I found this one, but I do like the cover! (That's probably what caught my attention.)

All These Things I've Done by Gabrielle Zevin
This is probably the one I'm most excited for. The only real thing I know about it is that chocolate is illegal - which sounds too awful and interesting to miss! It seems pretty unique and I'm hoping to get my hands on it soon.
