August Wrap-Up / September TBR

How is it September already? I feel like I must of missed some months or something, I always feel like the year flies by so fast. Anyway, onto the books, because that's what we're here for right? Books.

August:

• A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness
• Serenity: Those Left Behind (Serenity #1) by Joss Whedon and more
• Warm Up by Victoria Schwab 
• Vicious by Victoria Schwab
• The Blob That Ate Everyone by R.L. Stine
• Bakuman, Vol. 1: Dreams and Reality by Tsugumi Ohba
• The Rithmatist (Rithmatist #1) by Brandon Sanderson
• Better Days (Serenity #2) by Joss Whedon
• Burnt Offerings (Anita Blake #7) by Laurell K. Hamilton
• Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell
• Blue Moon (Anita Blake #8) by  Laurell K. Hamilton
• The Shepard's Tale (Serenity #3) by Joss and Zack Whedon
• Obsidian Butterfly (Anita Blake #9) by Laurell K. Hamilton

Whew! So many books this much, and a couple really good ones that I'm still thinking about. I'm going to, hopefully, have my review of Vicious up the week/day that the book comes out and hopefully reviews many of them. If you haven't noticed, I can be kind of bad at this, it's hard to say enough things sometimes.

September:

Honestly, I have no idea what books I am going to read, as I never do. So, some guesses, and I am definitely not a psychic.

• Fray by Joss Whedon
• Next In Death series
• Ink by Amanda Sun (and the novella)
• Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper

And hopefully more. I can't remember off the top of my head which In Death book I'm on, I'm on one of them, there's a ton of them. And Fray is a comic/graphic novel about a slayer very far in the future and it sounds amazing (it's Joss Whedon, how could it not be amazing?). I might read the next Anita Blake book, but I've heard after Obsidian Butterfly they get kind of, well, bad (until the newest one, I think), and I have the next three, so I might as well read them, it's just... the next one is over 600 pages. 

I also have some ARCs for books that come out September/October that I definitely should read. I'm very bad at making a list of books to read and sticking to it, though, normally I just pick up a random book and start reading.

Anyway! I hope August was a good month for everyone, if not reading wise then maybe something else wise, and now it's September! How the hell did that happen? No, really, I'm confused about this. 

Bout of Books 8.0: Day Five

Number of books I've finished today: 3

Total Number of Books Finished: 7

Book(s):
The Blob That Ate Everyone by R.L. Stine (started and finished - 114 pages)
Bakuman, Volume 1: Dreams and Reality by Tsugumi Ohba (started and finished - 208 pages)
The Rithmatist (Rithmatist #1) by Brandon Sanderson (started and finished - 378 pages)

Number of pages read today: 700

Total Number of Pages Read: 1,600

Notes:
So I started today with a Goosebumps books, which was okay, a little 'meh.' And then I moved on to volume one of Bakuman, which I had heard really good things about, but just I found kind of okay. And then I picked up the Rithmatist by Brandon Sanderson. I haven't read an abundant number of his books, only one, but I ended up staying up until four or five in the morning, and it turns out I couldn't put the Rithmatist down until I was finished with it, either. I just couldn't - it was such an amazing, fantastic world. Anyway, this isn't a review for that book, but after the two other 'meh' ones and how I've been struggling with Eleanor and Park, it was really nice to just be able to get into a book so easily.

Also it was the best reading day that I've had tis whole read-a-thon, which I was really happy about. Hopefully tomorrow I can get a ton more reading done. Always after I finish a really good book, I almost always have that 'what the hell do I read now?' problem, even though I have no lack of books, that's for sure.

July Wrap-Up / August TBR

Wow this is late! I'm sorry, life has been crazy since before July ended and it hasn't slowed down and it doesn't seem to be going to slow down anytime soon so I'm sorry for the spastic posting and everything. Anyway, onto the books I read in July and what I haven't yet read in August.

July:

• The Gunslinger by Stephen King
• Throttle by Joe Hill and Stephen King
• The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman
• Snow White by the Brothers Grimm, Illustrated by Camille Rose Garcia
• Prince Caspian (Chronicles of Narnia #4) by C.S. Lewis
• The Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Chronicles of Narnia #5) by C.S. Lewis
• Beyond the Door by Philip K. Dick
• Judgement in Death (In Death #11) by J.D. Robb
• The Silver Chair (Chronicles of Narnia #6) by C.S. Lewis
• Kushiel's Dart (Phèdre's Trilogy #1) by Jacqueline Carey
• White Cat (Curse Workers #1) by Holly Black
• The Last Battle (Chronicles of Narnia #7) by C.S. Lewis

• The Breathing Method by Stephen King (audiobook)
• Wizard's First Rule (Sword of Truth #1) by Terry Goodkind
• Women Serial Killers of the 17th Century by Sylvia Perrini

Wow is this late, this is so very late and I am so sorry. I was at a convention at the beginning of the month and it hadn't even crossed my mind that I hadn't made one of these until I was looking for it and it wasn't there and now we're pretty far into August, as in August is almost over. But I wanted to put this up, no matter how late, because I kind of like them.

I did a read-a-thon in July, as you can tell from the sheer number of books I read, and it was amazing and you can see the about it here, my first announcement post about it.

Anyway, on to August! Obviously I've already read some books this month. So I'm just going to list the books I hope to read this month and add in if I've finished them already

August:

• A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness (read)
• Serenity: Those Left Behind (Serenity #1) by Joss Whedon and more (read)
• Warm Up by Victoria Schwab (short story, read)
• Vicious by Victoria Schwab (read)
• Ink by Amanda Sun

And probably more then that since I am in the middle of a read-a-thon, but I've been so indecicive, I don't even know what to put down. I just bought Ink, and it's novella prequel, and it looks so amazing and I can't wait to read it. Also, the Rithmutist by Brandon Sanderson which I still haven't read, I'd love to get read soon, really soon.

I'm really sorry for this being so delayed that it's almost a July and August wrap-up, but I just wanted to put it up anyway. And I have no idea what the coming months are going to be like, it all depends on if I end up taking some college classes and how I take them (more the how), but I still hope to update here. I kind of am attached to this blog. And November is NaNoWriMo, and I have a Tumblr I normally update during the month, but would you mind me updating you with NaNoWriMo things? (NaNoWriMo is National Novel Writing Month, by the way. Link)
