May TBR

Sup guys(:

Can you believe it, can Y O U believe I T, the school year is almost over. It's already May and next month I'll be out for summer break headed for my senior year of high school.

Oh my heart. I'm just growing up so fast. (THANK GAWD!) Anyway, so as the year comes to a close and everyone begins getting ready for final exams and graduation, I find myself with more and more free time. Which means, (because i have no social life outside of work) I can spend my time reading. And that makes me super happy. So in this post I will be presenting you with my May TBR (to be read) list.

Enjoy.♥

1. Once by Morris Glietzman

     Summary: This story is about a young Jewish boy named Felix, who's hiding from the Nazis in a Catholic orphanage in 1942 Poland. But Felix knows nothing about the war and believes he's only in the orphanage because he's waiting for his parents to return from traveling and try to salvage their book selling business. And when he begins to believe his parents are in danger, Felix sets off to find them and warn them, heading straight into the heart of Nazi-occupied Poland.

       I plan on reading this little story in my downtime while I take my state testing next week. The book is like 160 pages and I think it'll keep me entertained while I wait impatiently for the rest of the student body to finish testing.

2/3. Then / Now by Morris Glietzman

Summary: These are the sequels to Once, which follow and Felix as he grows up.

       If I finish Once as fast as I'm thinking I will I'm gonna read the other 2. And I'm pretty sure there's another book out, but I don't own it.

4. Red Rising by Pierce Brown

Summary: This story follows a young man named Darrow, who lives in a society with a caste system. Darrow is a Red, which is the lowest level in the system, and like many generations before him, he's worked his whole life believing his people are slaving to help make Mars ready for everyone else to be able to live on the planet. But Darrow and his people soon find out that society has already been living and thriving, and the Reds have been slaving for nothing. Inspired by the desire to finally be free, gain justice and the memory of a lost love, Darrow risks everything to infiltrate the legendary Institute, which is a proving ground for the high and mighty Gold Caste.

        You have no idea how happy I was to find this book on sale for my Nook. With my book buying addiction I've seen this book pop up a few times and the ratings on Goodreads are amazing. So I'm really excited to see if it meets to my expectations. But I mean it's being compared to Hunger Games and Ender's Game, so it can't be too horrible.(:

5. Gone by Michael Grant

Summary: All the adults have disappeared. And with a society only consisting of children, things are bound to go completely wrong. Hunger, bullies, a scary creatures lurk. On top of that, the children are mutating with special, dangerous and deadly powers, that are growing stronger every day.

        I was kind of skeptical and, quite honestly, completely uninterested in reading these books. But with the help from the Epic Reads Tea Time girls and the fact that the books can be read on Scribd, I was like why the hell not. So I'm kind of excited, cuz the books have pretty decent ratings on Goodreads and  the whole disappearing-adults is starting to grow on me. So we'll see how it goes.(:

And there you have it folks! My first ever TBR post. I really hope you enjoyed. In the future, I hope to have these put into YouTube videos. 

Yes, I did say YouTube. I've been planning for months to start my own BookTube Channel, and since I have a job, that means  I can have money to buy my own equipment and camera and such. So until then (possible mid/late this summer) I'll be doing blog TBRs and possible book hauls.(: I don't know, we'll see. So yeah, until next time, kiddies. :D

hugs and candy,
