May TBR

-
Amazon.com: Stepsister (9781338268461): Donnelly, Jennifer: Books   Hello everyone! My TBR for this month only has eight physical books but I will probably end up reading more. I am so excited to read all of these books and most are part of a series.

Stepsister by Jenifer Donnelley- Stepsister is a Cinderella retelling about Cinderellas wicked stepsister. I think I've had this book for a while. Each month I say I want to read but I always run out of time because I get ARCs. Now that I'm not getting any, I will read this book!

Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige- So this book was on my TBR last month. This is a very long series but I really want to read it.

Amazon.com: The Beholder (9780062845429): Bright, Anna: BooksThe Beholder by Anna Bright- I want to read this book the most right now. I have less than 100 pages in the book I'm currently reading so this will probably be my next read. I know the sequel to this book recently came out (or not recently I don't really know). I think I'm going to really love The Beholder and The Boundless

The Odd 1s Out by James Rallison- Next up is The Odd 1s Out. For anyone who doesn't know, the Odd 1s Out is a YouTube channel. James has published two books for his YouTube channel.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling- I have one chapter left on the audiobook for the first Harry Potter so I thought I might as well put book two on my TBR for this month.

Amazon.com: Girl in the Blue Coat (9780316260633): Hesse, Monica ...Girl in the Blue Coat by Monica Hesse- This is a historical fiction set in Amsterdam during WWII. I feel like I don't see enough books that take place during WWII outside if Germany. The most famous Holocaust books (The Book Theif, The Boy in the Striped Pajamas, etc.) are all set inside of Germany.

Who Could That Be At This Hour? by Lemony Snicket- I loved A Series of Unfortunate Events (even though I didn't finish the books). I do want to start his next series though: All the Wrong Questions.

The Boy in the Striped Pajamas by John Boyne- This book is a classic when it comes to the Holocaust.


Amazon.com: Crossed (9780142421710): Ally Condie: BooksIn terms of audiobooks, I have a few on hold on Libby. So here are the audiobooks I plan on listening to this month:

Furthermore, by Tahereh Mafi-  The fist audiobook I want to listen to is Furthermore. I haven't read Tahereh Mafi's other books but I've heard that she's an amazing author.

Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer- With the movie coming out soon, I thought I should read the book first. I will do a movie to book comparison. 

Crossed by Ally Condie- the last audiobook I want to listen to is Crossed. This is the second book in the Matched Trilogy. My plan is to finish the series by listening to the books.

So that's all I want to read this month but hopefully, I'll end up going beyond that.

 I got so many new books this month I'm excited to read! About half of the books I got were graphic novels because I've been in a bit of a reading slump lately. Act Cool  by Tobly McSmith Act Cool  is a recent release that looks so good! Goodreads synopsis: Aspiring actor August Greene just landed a coveted spot at the prestigious School of Performing Arts in New York. There's only one problem: His conservative parents won't accept that he's transgender. And to stay with his aunt in the city, August must promise them he won't transition. August is convinced he can play the part his parents want while acting cool and confident in the company of his talented new friends. But who is August when the lights go down?

  Clap When You Land  was an amazing novel. On top of that, Elizabeth Acavado's writing was beautiful.  5 "The whole time she swallowed her words like bitter pills not realizing that they were slow dripping poison." 4 "Papi was a man split in two playing a game against himself But the problem with that is in order to win, you always lose" 3 "A queen offers her hand to be kissed, & can form it into a fist while smiling the whole damn time" 2 You do not let your words stunt unknown possibilities." 1 "Fight until you can't breathe, & if you have to forfeit you forfeit smiling, make them think you let them win."

Fairest of All by Serena Valentino

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would...
