T5W: Series I Want To Start This Year!

Hi all! So, I kind of put off doing last weeks top 5 Wednesday so I'm catching up now! So last weeks topic was top series you want to start this year and I don't know why but I was super excited to make this list up.

5) Shopaholic series by Sophie Kinsella
I actually have already started this series because I read Confessions of a Shopaholic at the very beginning of the month and I loved it. I have seven Sophie Kinsella books and Ive only read one of them so I hope that changes this year!
4) Every Colleen Hoover book released
I've only read Hopeless by Colleen Hoover and I bought Slammed and Point of Retreat yesterday. I am so so so excited to read all of her books because I loved Hopeless so much but I read it right when it came out so it's been years since I've read a CH book.
3) Covenant series by Jennifer L. Armentrout
JLA is one of my lit queens. I've read seven of her books and I can't wait to start this series(plus read A LOT more of her books.
2) Furies of Calderon series by Jim Butcher
I wanted to start this series in 2014 but I never got around to it so I'm definitely going to start this one.
1) Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
Don't get me started on this one. All the hype and the pressure from my friend has got me really excited to read this so I will be reading this very soon.
Okay, so that's all for this post and I'm off to write this weeks T5W!



Follow me on Twitter  and Goodreads to see what I'm reading!

T5W: Most Anticipated 2015 releases

Hi, all! I’m here with my (late) top five Wednesday! This week’s topic is your top five most anticipated releases. I’m rebelling a little and I have six, but in reality I have around 15 that I’m looking forward to so narrowing it down was a bit difficult.

6) The Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo out on October 6^th.

I read the Grisha trilogy last summer and LOVED it (the darkling had a big part in that). The only thing I know about this is that it’s set in the grisha-verse so that’s enough for me!

5) The Ruby Circle by Richelle Mead out on February 10^th.

This is the sixth and final book in the Bloodlines series. *cries* I’m going to be ugly sobbing when I get my hands on this one and finish it. I’ve been with this series since the first books was released and knowing that I won’t have any more Sydrian after this books makes me want to cry.

4) The Heir by Kiera Cass out on May 5^th.

This is the fourth book in the selection series? Or a spin off? I’m not very sure but I do know that I will be going out on May 5^th and devouring this book in one sitting. I have a tradition with Kiera Cass books that go along the lines of 1) sit down, 2) open book,3) read book, and 4) don’t move until you have finished said book.

3) A Book of Spirits and Thieves by Morgan Rhodes out on June 23^rd.

Ugh, it was so hard picking between these last three for the number one spot! ABoSaT is the first book in a spin off trilogy following the Falling Kingdoms series. People say that Falling Kingdoms is a YA Game of Thrones and I could not agree more! I was lucky enough to get an ARC of Gathering Darkness from Morgan herself at YALLfest so I have grabby hands for another MR book.

2) A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas May 5^th.

ACoTaR is a new fantasy series by SJM that circles around Beauty and the Beast and faerie lore (!!!!). I’ve been anticipating this book for months and I’ve been trying like crazy to get an ARC, but I’ve had no luck :(

1) Lady Midnight by Cassandra Clare and the release date has not been announced yet.

Cassandra Clare’s books are crack and you don’t need any more of an explanation so just go read them ALL.

2015 Reading Goals

Hey all! My name is Elizabeth, I'm 17, and I love to read. I'm new to the blog-verse so I thought I'd start off with my 2015 bookish goals that I'm going to try and hit.

1)      Read  75  books.

My goal for 2014 had been to read 125 books and I surpassed that by reading 139 but for 2015, I decided to lower it to 75. I found myself stressing out about hitting 125 books last year and I didn't want for my goal to feel like a job that I HAD to complete. Also, I'm starting college college next month so I feel like that is going to take up a lot of my time as well.

2)      Read all of Rick Riordan’s books.

*sigh* I made this same goal for myself in 2014 and I did not complete it. I only ended up reading the first three books of the Hero's of Olympus series but I am definitely going to complete this goal this year (hopefully).

3)      Finish the Harry Potter series.

Once again, I made this goal for myself in 2014 but did not complete it. I know what you're thinking, who HASN'T read all of the Harry Potter books? The answer would be me (my mom wouldn't let me read them when I was younger).

4)      Read 2 classics

I'm not that big on classics, but I really want to read a couple this year. I only read 2 in 2014, one of which I hated (The Hobbit) and one which I loved (Jane Eyre).

5)      Read 10 adult books.

Pretty much the only thing I read is young adult but I occasionally partake in the adult genre. I don't read enough of them though so I'm hoping to change that in 2015!

6)      Get tbr down to 100 books

My tbr sits around 200 right now and that's a little crazy so I've made it a priority to make a big dent into it.

7)      Finish 12 series.

I have about 10 unread series on my shelf where I only have one book left in the series/trilogy so I feel like I might finish this challenge with flying colors!
