Favorite Read This Month:

The Wishing Season. It was great! :)

My thoughts on April:

I cannot believe how many books I read this month...especially considering it was a pretty busy month in general. So happy with reading 23 books -- some I loved and some I didn't like at all. Don't think I'll be able to read this many in May, but we shall see. ;)

Looking ahead:

My goals for May:

Read 15 books
Finish 2 Random Reads

My Random Read for May is...

The Vault of Dreamers -- happy about this selection, as I've been in a YA reading mood and I hope this one is clean and entertaining!

*just a note: this is a mainstream YA novel*



About the book:


The Forge School is the most prestigious arts school in the country. The secret to its success: every moment of the students' lives is televised as part of the insanely popular Forge Show, and the students' schedule includes twelve hours of induced sleep meant to enhance creativity. But when first year student Rosie Sinclair skips her sleeping pill, she discovers there is something off about Forge. In fact, she suspects that there are sinister things going on deep below the reaches of the cameras in the school. What's worse is, she starts to notice that the ridges of her consciousness do not feel quite right. And soon, she unearths the ghastly secret that the Forge School is hiding--and what it truly means to dream there.

From Caragh M. O'Brien, author of the Birthmarked trilogy comes the first book in a new series, The Vault of Dreamers, a fast-paced, psychologically thrilling novel about what happens when your dreams are not your own.

  2. You inspire me. I have so many TBRs and have had very little reading time this month.

Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. ~ Philippians 4:8
