TBR - August 2015

TBR
August 2015

So I just moved to New Zealand and things are crazy so I am not really expecting to be reading much this month, setting my sights pretty low, its still 6 books that have been in my TBR pile for a little while now which is good.

  1. Divergent Trilogy, Divergent, Insurgent, Allegiant, 
  2. Daughter of Smoke and Bone Trilogy, Lauren Taylor
Bonus for this month would be 
  • one classic
  • one horror novel
    • AND OR
  • Starting the hobbit/ lord of the rings (because the movie sets are here in NZ and I should get around to reading those books soonish)

Top 5 Wednesday - Things on your Bookshelf that Aren't Books

Top 5 Wednesday

July 8th
Things on your Bookshelf that Aren't Books
So I find doing this top 5 wednesday a little bit funny because I don't honestly have a "bookshelf" 90+% of the time, I just so happen to have one right now coincidentally but it doesn't have any books on it other than my library books because I don't own any books... Its more just a shelf then I guess? Which is what i normally don't have?


  1. Supplements, I have one shelf entirely dedicated to protein powder, multivitamins, samples, progressive vegegreens, phytoberry, protein shakers, pre workout....

     
  2. Yoga Mat, nicely rolled up and held together with an elastic
  3. My steel toed work boots on the bottom shelf
  4. My snowboard boots also on the bottom self 
  5. cat litter

Top 5 Wesdnesday - Books with Multiple POVs


  1. The Help, Kathrun Stockett
  2. The Heroes of Olympus Series, Rick Riordan
  3. My Sisters Keeper, Jodi Picoult
  4. A Game of Thrones, George R Martin
  5. The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, CS Lewis
Although I have not read very many books with multiple perspectives, I do enjoy the writing style. When it is done well. I know I have stopped reading mid-book with multiple POV because the story got very confusing. 

I want to know if you ...

  1. Enjoy this style of writing?
  2. Have you read a book that transitioned badly between the multiple POVs?
