Reading Update
So, just yesterday, I finally finished the Life As We Knew It series by Susan Beth Pfeffer! Over the past couple weeks I went through the adventures of Miranda and Alex in Life As We Knew It, The Dead and the Gone, and This World We Live In. Although I don't plan to review these books, you can look forward to a book comparison between the first two!
Now that those books are done, what am I reading now? I've started Stargirl by Jerry Spinelli, a short but intriguing book which is followed by Love, Stargirl, which I will read next!

Bookshelf Tour
This is partly random, but hopefully still interesting. After re-organizing my bookshelf (more like just cleaning it and finding books scattered around the house), I recorded a tour of my bookshelf! Hope you enjoy :).

Bibliophilic Contentment
With so many books out there, some wonderful, some horrible, and some so so, it's always a struggle to decide on books to read. Time is of the essence, so I LOVE knowing what books I plan to read, because then I can jump right into a new world, and then feel accomplishment when I finish books on my list. Lately, I've been obsessing over http://www.goodreads.com, forming a clearer understanding of what books I want to read. With an ever-growing and already lengthy to-read list, I finally got around to sort of organising it. Fall break is right in front of me, and I can't wait to sit on my pillow pile, on the couch, or on a bench surrounded by trees, reading books, books, and more books! So, the master short-term list is.......
- Life As We Knew It -Susan Beth Pfeffer
- The Dead and the Gone -Susan Beth Pfeffer
- This World We Live In -Susan Beth Pfeffer
- Stargirl -Jerry Spinelli
- Love, Stargirl -Jerry Spinelli
- Inside Out -Maria V. Snyder
- Outside In -Maria V. Snyder
- The Declaration -Gemma Malley
- Blood Red Road -Moira Young
- Divergent -Veronica Roth
- Insurgent -Veronica Roth
Oh, and I forgot to mention! Not only do I have a wonderful list of wonderful books, I have a reason to make frequent trips to the library! I've already gotten the first 5, plus Blood Red Road, and so I'm all set, but I will of course enjoy the journey to the library when it comes time to return what I have read, and pick up more!!! Always so exciting!
