Random Reads(#1)


Min.-1
Max.-213
Random Number-#60

So, the book I'm going to tackle this month is Uglies( I'm positive that about 95% of the people reading this, knows what this book is, since it is quite popular and is a bit old.)

Uglies (Uglies, #1)

Description( from Goodreads):
Tally Youngblood is about to turn sixteen, and she can't wait for the operation that turns everyone from a repellent ugly into a stunningly attractive pretty and catapults you into a high-tech paradise where your only job is to party. But new friend Shay would rather hoverboard to "the Smoke" and be free. Tally learns about a whole new side of the pretty world and it isn't very pretty. The "Special Circumstances" authority Dr Cable offers Tally the worst choice she can imagine: find her friend and turn her in, or never turn pretty at all. The choice Tally makes changes her world forever.

I'm actually quite excited to read this and it has been on my TBR list for a while now!

"Waiting On" Wednesday(#1): The Nightmare Affair

"Waiting On" Wednesday:  The Nightmare Affair




"Waiting on Wednesday" is a meme created by Jill at Breaking the Spine that features books yet to be released that we're really looking forward to. This week my book is "The Nightmare Affair."
The Nightmare AffairTitle:The Nightmare Affair
Author:Mindee Arnett
Released:2013
Publisher:Tor Teen
 
From Goodreads:
 
16-year-old Dusty Everhart breaks into houses late at night, but not because she’s a criminal. No, she’s a Nightmare. Literally. Dusty is a magical being who feeds on human dreams.

Being the only Nightmare at Arkwell Academy, a boarding school for magickind, and living in the shadow of her mother’s infamy is hard enough. But when Dusty sneaks into Eli Booker’s house, things get a whole lot more complicated. He’s hot, which means sitting on his chest and invading his dreams couldn’t get much more embarrassing. But it does. Eli is dreaming of a murder. The setting is Arkwell.

And then it comes true.

Now the Dusty has to follow the clues—both within Eli’s dreams and out of them—to stop the killer before more people turn up dead. And before the killer learns what she’s up to and marks her as the next target.
 
My thoughts: OMG! This sounds A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! A perfect mixture of paranormal and mystery...who wouldn't love it? I thought it sounded so original and mysterious. I mean, have you ever of a girl living off of nightmares! So, I am so excited for this to be released.(which it doesn't for another 6 months, I think?)

Top Ten Tuesday: Favorite "Older" Books


"Top Ten Tuesday" is a meme created by Jaime at The Broke and the Bookish that features our top ten list of books in any given category
This is my first meme ever! I'm excited 'cause I've always wanted to participate in one of these things. 
My top Favorite older books would be:
  


1.Unbecoming of Mara Dyer-This book was just SO good. I loved the plot, the characters, and the ending. For me, it was just a perfect book.
2.Daughter of Smoke and Bone-I loved this book! I thought she did a WAY different idea with angels than any other angel books I have read. If you have not read this, then you need to NOW!
3. Firelight-I just found the idea of this novel so interesting. I have actually not read very many books with humans that can transfrom into dragons. SO, I thought it was very original and just a good fantasy read.
4.Blood Red Road-This was a very descriptive, complex read. And that is the reason why I loved it so much( but I also loved Jack's humor).
5.Ella Enchanted-This is actually a very old fav. book of mine. If I would have started reading this novel this year, I would have not liked it very much, due to the fact of the simpleness of the novel( I now am more drawn to long, complex reads). But, the reason why I love it is because it made me the avid reader I am today. But, if you enjoy fairy-tale-like novels, this is the one for you.
6.Delirium-I kinda am obsessed with dystopian books and this book was beyond what I could hope in one. I just loved the plot, characters, and the idea of the book!( I cried also)
And there you have it! I loved all six of these books and they will always have a place in my heart.
