I have some good news. I will be reviewing a couple of books by the end of this month. I borrowed some last month and probably will borrow more by the end of the week.
Yay! Book Reviews!
Unlike last year, I won't accomplish reading 11 books. I'm right now taking a class. It's 50/50 that I will do well. But at least my reading slump is breaking for now. The books I will be review this month are:
45 Pounds (More or Less) by K.A. Barson.
A book I can somewhat connect with.
16-year old Ann Galardi has struggled with weight all her life. In 10 weeks, her aunt Jackie is getting married and she wants Ann to be her bridesmaid. Ann makes the decision to lose 45 pounds within that time. Can Ann reach her goal within those 10 weeks or gain more than she's lost?
Wither by Lauren De Stefano
Really pretty cover!
Due to the advancements of science and modern medicine, children are born perfect except for a flaw. Females live until 20 and males live until 25. 16-year old Rhine Ellery is taken from her normal life in Manhattan and transported in Florida to serve as a sister wife and wife to Linden Ashby. Despite the luxuries and Linden's love for Rhine, all she wants to do is go back to Manhattan and find her twin brother Rowan. But Rhine has to deal with the mysteriousness of Linden's father Vaughn and the secrets that go within the household. Will Rhine lose herself to the surreal, trapped yet seeming perfect world of being a wife or will she escape to find her brother?
The Peculiar by Stephan Bachmann
I think this is a Steampunk book?
Disappearances and murders disperse around England due to the occurrences of fae and other fantastical creatures. After a technological revolution, faery creatures are forced to live in slums and hide themselves. A strange woman enters the slums and young Bartholomew is curious about her presence, Unfortunately, he reveals himself breaking the rules. This leads into a conquest where Bartholomew meets mysterious people and befriends someone.
Broken Piano for President by Patrick Wensink
It has a very unorthodox plot.
The Book of Strange New Things by Michel Faber
Deshler Dean is known for creating amazing things while he's drunk. He's managed to create an addicting burger, achieved a six-figure deal for his crappy band, and started dating someone who he does not recognize. But he's managed to end up in a mess worse than the Allies taking on Germany. When rival burger chains fight for control for Dean's burger, it takes Dean and his band to save America from the corporate greed and win their hearts and stomachs.
First book sent to me to review! :D

But his wife Bea falter with their faith as disasters come into play. While Peter is serving the need of his congregation under his strange employer, Bea is struggling to survive,
These are the books I have read or will attempt to read this month. This list is tentative, so some will be reviewed while others will not be reviewed. It all depends on what I touch on first. I hope you guise enjoy the content I will try to provide this month.
XOXO,
