May TBR!!

So, last time I did a TBR it was in March and I completely failed at it. In all honesty I have failed at reading this entire year. I am already 13 books behind in my Goodreads challenge. Real life has taken over book life, I am now working two jobs, the reason March and April were bad reading months was because I started a full time job in conjunction with my other part time job. But, I hope to get back into a reading groove.

There are a few challenges that I want to participate in this month, they are back to back so that will be interesting. Challenge one is the #AYEARATHON May prompt that is Finishing/Catching up on series. Challenge two is Bout of Books 10!!  That being said, this is my May TBR.

#AYEARATHON is from May 5th - 11th and I plan on finishing the Partials Series!

  1. Partials - Dan Wells
  2. Fragments - Dan Wells
  3. Ruins - Dan Wells 
I have already read Partials, but am re-reading it to marathon the series. If I get done with that I would also like to continue in with the Castor Chronicles. 
  1. Beautiful Chaos (Castor Chronicles #3) - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl
  2. Beautiful Redemption (Castor Chronicles #4) - Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl


Bout of Books 10 is from May 12th -18th and does not have a set theme. For this read-a-thon and the rest of the month it is all about getting library books off of my shelves so that I can place myself on a limited library book ban and start reading the books I already own. This is all in preparation for BOOKCON!!!! Which I am super excited for. 
  1. World War Z - Max Brooks
  2. The Stranger - Albert Camus
  3. Panic - Lauren Oliver
  4. The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Neil Gaiman
  5. Incarnate (Newsoul #1) - Jodi Meadows
  6. Asunder (Newsoul #2) - Jodi Meadows
  7. Infinate (Newsoul #3) - Jodi Meadows 
  8. Tiger Lily - Jodi Lynn Anderson

March TBR!!!

I realized I have so many books that I need to read to accomplishing my goal. So, to make it a little easier and to stay on track I have decided to do monthly To Be Read posts. With these I will lay out the books that I hope to read throughout the month and then do a wrap up post at the end of the month with all the ones I finished. I did the math and it seems I need to read 12-13 books every month to meet my goal.

This month will be a little crazy. I really want to get caught up with the Game of Thrones books before the show starts again on April 17th. This means I am giving myself the month of March to read the second and third books and the beginning of April to watch the second and third seasons. Actual craziness. Hopefully I will be able to accomplish it all.

All the book I will be attempting this month:

  1. Broken Beauty - Lizzy Ford
  2. Angel Fire (Angel #2) - L.A. Weatherly
  3. Angel Fever (Angel #3) - L.A. Weatherly
  4. A Clash of Kings (ASIF #2) - George R.R. Martin
  5. A Storm of Swords (ASIF #3) - George R.R. Martin
  6. Dark Days - Kate Ormand
  7. Forbidden - Tabitha Suzuma 
  8. The Ocean at the End of the Lane - Neil Gaiman 
  9. On Dublin Street - Samantha Young
  10. Runes - Ednah Walters
  11. Sekret - Lindsay Smith
  12. Sempre - J.M. Darhower
  13. The Tyrant's Daughter - J.C. Carleson
  14. Where Monsters Dwell - Jorgen Brekke


Sooo many. I just did a page count and it is over 6000. I am pretty sure my eyeballs will be falling out by the end of this month. Also, I just want to say that I tried so hard to get all the covers in this post, instead of listing them all. But apparently I am not tech savvy enough to figure out how to get the pictures to sit side by side. SO if anyone out there can give me a hand, that would be great!
