Reading Update

Last week in books:

• Finished Assassin's Quest by Robin Hobb, it was a great end to the series and I can't wait to start her Liveship Traders series as soon as finals are over.
• Still working on my A Clash of Kings reread. I probably won't read anymore of this until Summer Break.
• Slowly working my way through stalled out on The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. Still. I've been loving it, but I HAVE NO TIME ALKDJFA;OIJFAOHUODO

This week in books:

• Get at least halfway through A Clash of Kings. OMG. This will be on my list forever. And a day, apparently. Not happening until school gets out.
• Finish Jews Without Money. O_O oops. Double oops.
• Get at least 300 pages into The Way of Kings, which is a 1252 page behemoth. Second third fourth time on the list.
• Don't read for fun when I should be reading textbooks. This will stay on the list for the rest of the semester. Only a week and a half until this is off the list!!!

Wishful thinking:

• The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie. Hahaha psht no. This will never happen. Or will it? Second third week's the charm???

So, I get out of school next Tuesday as you may have noticed after all the times I mentioned it in this post. Between now and then, I have three papers to write, three finals to take, and two presentations to give (you'd think I was only taking three classes, but I have five lol). But as soon as Summer starts, I will have so much time for reading and fun be staffing Anime Expo, possibly attending a day or two of Comic-Con, definitely attending all of ArmadilloCon, turning 19, preparing for Fall formal recruitment with my sorority sisters, visiting my family in Texas for a few weeks, and trying to get a job.

Do you guys have any fun plans for this summer?

That's all for this week. What are you planning on reading? Any good books you've read lately?

REVIEW: Girl Steals Guy by Kelly Green

Smart and sassy Abby Grace is a seventeen-year-old with a talent for getting out of trouble. Sent to repair the lives and loves of teenagers on the edge of disaster, Abby is the perfect girl for the job. She has everything going for her… except one thing: a body.

This fast-paced and exciting episode is the first installment in an ongoing mystery series with a supernatural twist.

Book: Girl Steals Guy by Kelly Green
Release Date: October 21, 2011
Format: eBook
Genre: Paranormal / Young Adult
Series: Borrowing Abby Grace, #2
Obtained: From the author, in exchange for an honest review
Rating: (5 Zombies)

The Borrowing Abby Grace books are all really short, and I think that they're meant to be more along the lines of episodes from a tv show than individual movies, so my review is going to be pretty short accordingly.

I obviously love this series, since I gave the first book five zombies as well, and I can never put them down once I pick them up, which often leads to a few hours of sleep lost. However, because of their length, it's never more than a few hours, which is a good thing and a bad thing at the same time, because I want more Abby, and could this sentence be any more of a run-on, because I really don't think it could.

So. Abby herself is definitely the strongest point of the series. She's an amazing, adorable, and super fun character who helps suck you into the book immediately, which is necessary since there are no pages to waste on a boring introduction in books this short!

I honestly have zero complaints about this series, and anyone looking for a quick, fun, and/or easy read should definitely check them out, because they are all of the above and a lot more!
