January Books

Hello all! How is everyone doing with their 2015 reading goals?

This past month was a little lighter on reading due to wedding preparation and festivities, but now that the craziness is over let's get back to it!


City Of Ashes (The Mortal Instruments #2) by Cassandra Clare

The second book in The Mortal Instruments was just as exciting as the first! I am really enjoying re-reading this series and am looking forward to the unread 6th and final book!

Cinder (The Lunar Chronicles #1) by Merissa Meyer

This past month I joined a book club on Goodreads that is run by some fabulous readers of The Mary Sue (If you haven't checked out this website yet, I highly recommend it!). The book club is appropriately named The Mary Sue Books and More Club and they select monthly books based on a poll of 10 member suggested books. Their very first book choice was Cinder and I ended up really liking it! It is very YA in the way the story develops, with obvious foreshadowing and comparison to classic fairy tales. Despite that (which many people did not enjoy about the book) I found it to be an interesting world and I have deciding to continue reading the series. Stay tuned for further reviews :).

Now that life has slowed down a tad I plan on having at least 3 books in my reviews each month. I also plan on reading more stand alone books that are not part of series. I tend to read a few books at once and it can be hard to keep track of the stories when all of them have a continuing series.

What are you reading this month?

Allons-y!
