So, I'm on a mission. I need to read more. The excuses of schoolwork and Netflix drawing me have been invalidated. The problem I am currently facing is a GARGANTUAN TBR pile of books. And by gargantuan I mean that I probably have over 150 books on my TBR shelves. THIS IS NOT OKAY. So, it's time to get ambitious ladies and gentlemen. I have decided that I want to start finishing off the series I have already started before I start moving on to new ones. So, you'll see that as a common trend in the TBR list for the remaining weeks in March and the full month of April.
Stand Off by Andrew Smith (Sequel to Winger)
I am SO excited to read this. I received it as a Christmas present a few months ago and it's time I finally get around to it. I read Winger a couple of years and go and it absolutely destroyed me. Probably more than any other book has before (if you've read it, you know why), I read the gut-wrenching part of Winger while I was on a bus ride to New York City and let's just say my fellow bus riders were more than slightly concerned. Plus, Smith made me discover my favorite quote of all time: "Crede Quod Habes, et Habes," which means believe that you have it, and you do. Andrew Smith's writing style is so different from the elaborate metaphorical and imagery-packed style I'm used to, so I'm excited for a refreshing read. AND HOPEFULLY THIS ONE DOESN'T EMOTIONALLY SLAUGHTER ME LIKE THE LAST ONE.

The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky
I started reading this book when I was in seventh grade, then I lost the copy I was reading and never finished it. Since I love the movie so much and I hear great things about the book, I think its time for me to pluck it off my TBR shelves for a well-deserved read.

| The Assassin's Blade and Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas (Prequel and fifth installment of the Throne of Glass series) I think this one is pretty self-explanatory since I've expressed my love for Sarah J. Maas and her books pretty thoroughly on this blog. |
Vicious by V.E. Schwab
I AM STILL READING THIS!!! I need to finish it soon otherwise it's going to turn into a DNF and it really really doesn't deserve that. The characters are very interesting, the plot is dark, twisted, and mysterious. I just don't know what's up with me and not finishing this book but I'm not allowing it to continue for any longer.

Stars Above by Marissa Meyer
I finished the Lunar Chronicles within the past six months (loved it!!!) and I think it would be wise of me to read this collection of novellas before I forget aspects of the plot and the characters that I love so much. Plus I'm really missing Thorne and Cress <3 So yeah, NEED to read this soon.

The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
This pick is mostly because I really really want to watch the movie but I have a rule about reading the book before watching the movie (: But, I've also heard amazing things about the book so it's happening everyone. It's happening.

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas
So, I recently started a book club with a few friends that I met through my book instagram, and this is our first book that we chose!!! Exciting! I honestly don't know a lot about except for the fact that I've seen it EVERYWHERE and it's supposed to be great. So, yeah, I'm excited (:

The Glass Sword by Victoria Aveyard
I read the first book in this series, The Red Queen, a few years ago and I'm going to be honest. I don't remember any of it besides the closing scene. So after extensive research on the plot of the first book to try and gain a grasp on what's going on, it's time for me to start the second. Plus, everyone is talking about how fantastic the third one is. Also, this is a book I'm reading now(:

Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy
I'm still trucking my way through this one, slowly but surely. I'm not putting too much pressure on myself to dedicate myself solely to finish this book because I want to savor it and, if I'm being honest, I don't want it to slump me.

Now that I just wrote that post I'm realizing how unbelievably ambitious this list is. But, it needs to be done. And, to be honest it's pretty exciting(::: So, let the reading begin!
