Musing Monday #15: May Showers (May 13th)

Musing Monday #15

Musing Monday is a weekly conversation thing hosted by Should Be Reading where you talk about one of three prompts. I also decided that I would do a cool vlog thing!! It was really fun to film (I usually prefer scripts though). 
Enjoy!

"Musing Mondays asks you to muse about one of the following each week…

• Describe one of your reading habits.
• Tell us what book(s) you recently bought for yourself or someone else, and why you chose that/those book(s).
• Tell us what you’re reading right now — what you think of it, so far; why you chose it; what you are (or, aren't) enjoying it."

May Showers (May 13th)

Yep, showers.

Anyway, today is not so much as a "habit", but a realization. I have realized (over the past few weeks) that when I review a book, I'm really nice. I've realized that I need to be more critical on books when I review them. Just saying. Whelp.....see you next Monday!!!! (oh, and hope you like the new banner!!!)

Thursday Meme Teaser Trailer

Waiting on Wednesday #8: The Iron Traitor (Call of the Forgotten #2) by Julie Kagawa

Logo via Readers Live 1,000 Lives

I thought it would be cool to do a Waiting on Wednesday since I've been finding a lot of to-be-published books lately! Waiting On Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine. It's a weekly meme where you talk about a book you can't wait to have released.

The Iron Traitor (Call of the Forgotten #2)

"After his unexpected journey into the lands of the fey, Ethan Chase just wants to get back to normal. Well, as "normal" as you can be when you see faeries every day of your life. Suddenly the former loner with the bad reputation has someone to try for-his girlfriend, Kenzie. Never mind that he's forbidden to see her again. 

But when your name is Ethan Chase and your sister is one of the most powerful faeries in the Nevernever, "normal" simply isn't to be. For Ethan's nephew, Keirran, is missing, and may be on the verge of doing something unthinkable in the name of saving his own love. 
Something that will fracture the human and faery worlds forever, and give rise to the dangerous fey known as the Forgotten. As Ethan's and Keirran's fates entwine and Keirran slips further into darkness, Ethan's next choice may decide the fate of them all."

Release Date: October 29th, 2013

I have always been a fan of Julie Kagawa's books. I love the cast of characters in the Iron Fey series, and The Call of the Forgotten spin off is something that I was really excited for. Literally the DAY it came out I grabbed it and read it in one sitting. I was crushed when I finished because I had to wait yet another year for a Kagawa book! My excitement, I cannot contain.

Teaser Tuesday #2: Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly book meme hosted by MizB from Should Be Reading. Anyone can participate!! Just do the following:

-Grab your current read 

-Open to a random page 

-Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page 

-BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) 

Share the title & author too so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR lists!

"'Well,' said Beatty, 'Now you did it. Old Montag wanted to fly near the sun and now that he's burnt his damn wings,he wonders why. Didn't I hint enough when I sent the hound around your place?"

--Beatty

I don't think there's a classic as important as this one. I cheated, I took this quote not from a random page, but I hope it gives you the urge to read it. Like do it. Especially authors!!!

What are you reading? Leave a
