Guess who's back!

   So I sort of deserted you guys this last week. Sorry about that. This week hasn't been the best for me, but I'm back now! It's been what, seven days since I last posted? Gods. I'm so sorry. And considering the fact I haven't blogged for so long, you guys are probably expecting an overwhelmingly large amount of reviews to have to deal with from me.

But I don't have any. *Cue the disappointment*

   I haven't been reading a lot at the moment. I'll start a book, reading a few pages/chapters, then set it aside and start a new one. I need a book to really capture my attention, to drag me into a written journey filled with beautiful words and surprising plot twists. I need awesome, love-able characters who capture my heart and be awfully sarcastic while doing so. I need...I need a really good book.

And plenty of good books I have. I just don't know which one to read.




   Say hello to the stack of books currently residing on my desk. I have 22 more unread books sitting not-so-patiently on my shelves. As you can see, I have a lot of books to read.

I just can't decide which to start with. 

   This morning, I started reading Amy & Roger's Epic Detour (see review page to check out Beth's review of it!) and I'm liking it! I'm just worried it won't be able to hold my attention when I come back to reading it later in the day. I'm also reading The Young Elites by Marie Lu, (which is pretty awesome by the way) but I have no desire most of the time to pick it up and actually continue reading it. 

So I need your help, guys.

   I would be more than appreciative to know if you have read any of the following books (this is going to be one big list of books; you have been warned!) and would recommend I read them next. Some of them I started quite a while ago, and never got around to continuing. (Mainly the ones on my shelves.)

Anyways, here is the list of unread books I own:

-Amy & Roger's Epic Detour by Morgan Matson
-From What I Remember by Stacy Kramer & Valerie Thomas
-Messenger of Fear by Michael Grant
-He's After Me by Chris Higgins
-The Young Elites by Marie Lu (I am currently borrowing this from the library)
-The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (I know it's a kids book, but I got it free!)
-Mockingbird by Kathryn Erskine (another free one)
-Northern Lights by Philip Pullman (oh look, another free one!)
-The Crazy Things Girls Do For Love by Dyan Sheldon
-Paper Towns by John Green (I still haven't read it!)
-An Abundance of Katherines by John Green (A friend has given me this one!)

Those are just the desk ones. Here are the ones on my shelves:

-Gangster Squad by Paul Lieberman
-The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd
-If I Stay by Gayle Forman
-My True Love Gave To Me by Various Authors (I've read the majority of this one)
-The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
-The Death Cure by James Dashner (started, but wasn't brave enough to continue)
-The Kill Order by James Dashner
-Adorkable by Sarra Manning (started, but I didn't really like it...)
-Time Between Us by Tamara Ireland Stone
-Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass was just amazing!)
-Insurgent by Veronica Roth
-The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey
-Inkheart by Cornelia Funke (read most of it)
-Inkspell by Cornelia Funke
-Inkdeath by Cornelia Funke (I have a beautiful hardcover of this one!)
-The Bane Chronicles by Clare, Rees Brannan and Johnson
-The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
-Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo
-Ruin and Rising by Leigh Bardugo

   A lot of books to bombard you with, I know. Sorry. 

   If you would recommend any of these for my next/current read, please comment below! 

Thanks!
