Books I Read This Week

-After last week's busy week, I've had a light reading week this time.


Delirium by Lauren Oliver

-I can't believe it's taken me this long to read Lauren's popular novel. I thought it was pretty good, but have some major complaints as well. I'll expound upon this in my review.



The Bird Artist by Howard Norman

-Reading this for Book Club. Actually, it's going to be a DNF. I'm halfway through and can't stand to read any more. Too boring.

Books Received This Week


Books for Review



Until I Die by Amy Plum

-Thanks to Edelweiss!!! I have to read it before it expires on Tuesday.



Reunited by Hilary Weisman Graham

-Thanks to Simon & Schuster. For an upcoming blog tour.

Library Stash


Belles by Jen Calonita

-Haven't started this yet, but I love Jen's books so I'm excited.

CD Stash



My Head is an Animal by Of Monsters and Men

-An Icelandic group (sings in English). If you like Mumford & Sons or Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros...

-Check out my favorite song "Little Talks" (although the video is really strange).





"Love Interruption" by Jack White (single from his new album Blunderbuss)

-I've never been a huge Jack White fan, but I am obsessed with his new single. The lyrics are extremely dark, but make you think. And the sound is captivating.

  1. Oh my, I haven't read Delirium yet! nor Divergent, lol! I guess I'm not exactly one that follows the hype, eeek! I cannot wait to read Belles, even more so since I found out that she lives so close to me! Reunited sounds like a cute fun read, I'll have to keep an eye out for that one!
    Lots of good ones this week, enjoy them :)

  4. I love Of Monsters and Men (that video is kooky/cool) Everyone looks at me weird when I say that they sound like M&S though. At least you agree lol

    I love that Jack White song too. I hadn't seen the video before though.

    Reunited has an adorable cover. I'm going to have to check that one out.
