Monday's Novel Talk (75)

Hey Chroniclers! So first off, I don't know how this post is going to come out. I'm on my computer because I'm too lazy to go turn my laptop on. So if the post comes out a bit weird looking, I apologize. But anywho, it is Monday and I am so happy and excited because I finally finished something I've been trying to finish since July!

I finally finished reading Les Misérables by Victor Hugo! I had been reading that damn book since July 27th (my birthday) and finally finished it around 3am. I'm so glad I'm rid of that book for the rest of my life and would much rather watch the movie than read it again. I judge people who have read that book more than once. Judging you so hard. But moving on from this book because I no longer want to talk about it!

I'm currently reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. I'm on page 278 of 534. I do want to finish this tonight so that I can start reading my October books. But we'll see how it goes. I'm enjoying it so much and love how it makes me feel all warm inside. It literally reminds me of Christmas. I don't even know why. Don't judge me ya'll.

But that's all I've been reading! What have you guys been reading? Leave your comments down below and let's discuss books!

Monday's Novel Talk (74)

Hey Chroniclers! It's finally Fall and I'm so excited because the holidays are coming up starting with Halloween. I've been getting ready for the month of October to read some awesome themed books. I'm super excited for this! But it's still September and I'm still reading other books. Let's see what I've been reading!

Still reading Les Misérables by Victor Hugo. But I'm almost done! I'm currently on page 631 of 908! I'm on Volume 4; Part 2 out of five volumes. I think I can finish this before the end of the month, though. At least I hope so. It's still a bit boring and I prefer the movie over this. Mostly because there's singing and stuff and it's more exciting. I will be watching the movie after I finish reading.

I finished reading Loss by Jackie Morse Kessler. It was my favorite out of the first three but I need to read the last one to see if it'll stand or change. It's so weird finishing series, especially when you know no more books will come out unlike many other series that have surprise, unnecessary sequels. But, it's awesome when you finish reading the last book and just add it to your shelf and just sit back, sigh, and look at it. Soon, I'll finish this series.

I'm currently reading Inkheart by Cornelia Funke. Currently on page 113 of 534. I first read this book around 2005 from the library along with the sequel which I didn't finish. I never liked reading library books. So while I remember some things, it's like reading a book all over again. I do love this book though, oh so much. Aunt Elinor is my spirit animal to be honest. I'm just excited to finish this book and the next two. I read a bit of the sequel, like I said before, but it was only the beginning and never finished. So it makes me even more excited to read the last one which I never opened!

And that's all I've been reading! What have you guys been reading? Leave your comments down below and let's discuss books!

Monday's Novel Talk (73)

Hey Chroniclers! So today, I woke up at 11PM but for some reason fell asleep once again and woke up at 4. I feel like poo D= And this is why I didn't post earlier. But, I am here now and it's Monday and boo Monday's. But let's see what I've been reading!

I'm STILL reading Les Misérables by Victor Hugo! I finally finished Volume 3 and have 4 and 5 left. I'm currently on page 515 out of 908 which isn't that bad. I know that I'll finish this before the year ends. This is the worst and longest I've ever read for one book.

I finished re-reading Burned by Ellen Hopkins for the second time and finished the sequel Smoke as well that was recently released. I loved Burned but Smoke ripped out my heart and just shredded it. I loved it so much it became an instant favorite! I still feel the pain today.

I'm currently reading Loss by Jackie Morse Kessler, the third book in the Riders of the Apocalypse Series. It's so good and in my opinion, better than the first two and much more deeper. I'm on page 109 out of 251 and should be finishing this soon.

And that's all I've been reading? What have you guys been reading? Leave your comments down below!

Monday's Novel Talk (72)

Hey Chroniclers! I haven't posted one of these since July but then again, I wasn't here during August to put one up so we'll go ahead and start with what I've read since last week.

I'm currently still reading Les Misérables by Victor Hugo since July! I'm currently on page 438 of 908 and it is killing me. I thought the book would be completely different than what it really is. It's like I'm reading a History Textbook and that is not my cup of tea. It's gotten to the point where I have to read along with an audiobook so that I don't stop reading and wander of doing something else. Hopefully I can finish this by the end of the year. -____-

I finished reading Glow by Amy Kathleen Ryan and I went into it with low expectations but I ended up really enjoying it. I'll be buying the sequel along with the matching first book in paperback so that I can continue the adventure.

I'm currently reading Burned by Ellen Hopkins in preparation for the sequel that will release tomorrow, Smoke. I'm currently on page 209 of 531 and of course I love it. It's such a fast read like all of her other books and I should be done by tonight.

But that's all I've been reading. What have you guys been reading? Leave your comments down below!

Stacking The Shelves (12)

Hey Chroniclers! This week was such a good week in terms of books for me! I got so many books this week, more than I usually get and it's not even all of them. I have a few books coming in this coming week and then the week after some more. =O It feels like Christmas! Stacking The Shelves is a weekly meme hosted by the amazing Tynga over at Tynga's Reviews where we share with you what we got the past week!

I got 8 books in total this week!

On Tuesday, I went to New York City with a friend to go to Barnes and Noble. It's 15 minutes away from where I live and since I have no car I'd rather take the train there and visit my second home, the city. We went there to buy Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare which I'll read in the month of April. But while I was there I couldn't leave with just one book so I bought The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness. Now I was content with these two books but I was showing my friend the leather bound editions of books from B&N and I turned to the side thinking it was there, which they weren't, but noticed that the hardcover copy of Les Misérables by Victor Hugo was only eight bucks. Cheaper with the membership so I HAD to get it which I did.

This week I also found out I won a giveaway over at Lindsay Cummings Blog and won a copy of Nobody by Jennifer Lynn Barnes which I received on Friday. I was shocked though that they also sent me a copy of Every Other Day by Jennifer Lynn Barnes and even more shocked that it was signed! So thank you so much for that and everyone go check out Lindsay's blog! She's also an author =O

And I just recently got back from Barnes and Noble about an hour or so ago. While I was at the Barnes and Noble on Tuesday, I saw that they had Legend by Marie Lu with the new cover as a hardcover! And I didn't mind the cover change, had I not seen the new cover as hardcover so I had to go buy it today to match!

Old Cover vs New Cover

And while I was there today, I also got Prodigy by Marie Lu and decided to get The Ask and the Answer by Patrick Ness.

And thus, my Stacking The Shelves is concluded with eight freaking books. My TBR pile just shot straight up! Next week I should be receiving three books and then the following week another three. I feel like I'm getting books faster than I could read them. But I'll get to them soon!

But that's all I got! What did you guys get this week? Let me know down in the comments below!
