Top Ten: Books on my TBR

September 10, 2019by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment

Here is another Top Ten Tuesday! ( Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.)

Topic: ‘September 10: Books On My TBR I’m Avoiding Reading and Why (maybe you’re scared of it, worried it won’t live up to the hype, etc.) (submitted by Caitlin @ Caitlin Althea) ‘

Finally, I got the time to finish this post after rushing to finish my tea posts. It was so much tea, let me tell you! Regardless, here is my list.

March Teas

I am getting this post out in time! Do you have any idea how excited that makes me? It means I finalized taking 7 photos of tea today, is what it means. I’m going out for tea later! Save me! I don’t know if I can drink that much tea in one day (I can, but should I is another question). I feel like I should bring a book with me to that cafe to take a photo, but I have no idea which one to take.

You have three hours for suggestions! Otherwise, what you have been waiting for.

NEWTs Reviews Update

September 4, 2019August 31, 2019by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment

Since I am only rereading or reading novels I don’t want to do reviews for, this month (September) will be the month where I put out all the reviews that I did not put out in August. This means all those books I finished in August? Their reviews are coming this month.

No worries, you will see them.

They will be The Wicked Years reviews, The Spellslinger reviews, and a few others that I’ve held on to from July as well. October we will be back to reading all these lovely books I’ve gotten in recent months from book boxes and the likes. Other new changes incoming? I’m not sure but that’s all for now.

Until Next Time,

Top Ten

Top Ten Tuesday: Books Outside My Comfort Zone

September 3, 2019by themarlenamarieLeave a Comment

Coming back with another Top Ten Tuesday! ( Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish in June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018.)

This week is: “September 3: Books I Enjoyed That Are Outside of My Comfort Zone (i.e., a genre you don’t typically read or subject matter you’re not usually drawn to)”

Enjoyed is past tense which means these have to be books I read? Oh. This will be hard indeed. Or… maybe. Am I drawn to classics? If the answer is yes, then I might be screwed. I already can’t pick poetry, plays, fantasy, or sci-fi. However, it’s not like I go out of my way to read classics all the time. It should count! We’ll see what I can come up with.

August Reading List

September 1, 2019June 13, 2022by themarlenamarie1 Comment

Oh my goodness, I pulled it off. I actually did it! I can’t believe I did. For those of you who are new or just following for the first time, I suppose, I did the NEWTs exams for August. My goal was Auror with two additional classes, because I can’t make my life easy.

Info on the Reading Challenge or my post here

Info on my choices

This was only pretty much horrible for me for three reasons. One: I had to read an audio book (but that was a lot of fun and that review is coming tomorrow). Two: One of the series isn’t completed (thank heavens tho, because I hated The Keepers). Three: I had to pick up a series I accidentally DNFed (which I ended up loving. The Wicked series reviews will come later next month). I really pushed myself this month, to do things outside of my comfort zone. Was I rewarded? I think so. I read a lot of great books this month. I was not able to read the +3 (three books that I added because I started one series but did not finish it). Oh well no harm no foul, right?

But you aren’t here to hear me ramble. Scores for my NEWTs!
